A self-searching journey



There are people who would embark

on self-searching journey.



Look carefully.


It's not the road in front of you.


It's not the road behind you

when you look back.


Neither it's the sky you look up.



It is yourself.


Look more carefully to yourself.




You are here.


You are here, now.


What's that you don't like in yourself?


What is missing, do you think?


How you will be happy about yourself?


Just be concrete.


Elaborate in your self-image.


And express your imagination actually.


Here.

Now.



Why don't you create your thought?


Can't you?


No way.


You can do it.




If you were to embark

on self-searching journey,

all you have to do is to change

that journey into one step

to your creative thought.



If so, it is possible.


You can do it!


I'll promise you can!







In all the process and all the purpose,

your true self resides.




Kazuki

True self


True self is not something you look for.


True self is not something

that you can find somewhere.



You may be sometimes cunning,

cheating, or dishonest.



You might not like yourself like this,

but whatever the character, it's yourself.



You may be sometimes kind, sweet, and brave.

You might like yourself like that,

and again, whatever the character, it's yourself.



Whatever the character, it is yourself.


You yourself is making decision

to express whichever character

you like or dislike.




It's you yourself, who remorse and regret
about expressing the character

you dislike.




It's you yourself, who balance yourself

and being kind and sweet to others.



Whether you like it or not,

all the character belongs to you yourself.


True self is not something you look for.




True self is not something

that you can find somewhere.





True self is something

that you are creating now.





By picturing the ideal self,

you are creating yourself now.





True self is something

you newly create tomorrow.




And it is something

that you experience yourself.







You yourself is something

you create every day.




What you imagine, experience, aware,

and create.



Every process of this creation

is the chance

to remind of your true self.
