We should be like ourselves, caring what we care about, loving what we love, enjoying what we enjoy, doing what needs to be done the way only we can know and do that. That's the way real people do it. They are themselves doing it the way they would do it. In order to be that way, we have to spend time with ourselves, attending ourselves, being attentive to ourselves, knowing what we know, seeing how we see what we look at, feeling what we feel, reflecting on our experience and on our experiencing our experience, and being comfortable with who we know ourselves to be. How much time do you spend with yourself? Listening to yourself? Knowing what you know? Feeling what you feel? Seeing how you see? Without judgment or condemnation? Just being at one with yourself? Knowing what needs to be done and doing it the way you would do it?
