The best me is independent and strong. A person who goes after what I believe in. I feel that in order to be the best me I have to fully understand myself. I have to know what makes me happy and whats make me sad. If I completely understand myself then I have no choice but to believe that other people understands me also. Right now I am working on this part of my life. I am not sure that I truly understand me. Sometimes, when I do things in life I confuse myself and then I wonder why no one else understands me. This goes right along with what was said in the story self-reliant. "To believe your own thoughts, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men-that is genius." I truly believe this one hundred percent. I believe in me all the time, even if others feel that I am wrong. In order to be the best me I have to be able to walk out on faith and believe in what I am doing.
To be independent I have to be able to stand on my own to feet. I have to be strong in order to go through the things in life that I have in front of me. I know that my road ahead is not paved in gold and that everything will not be peaches and cream. What I do know is that as long as I stay strong and keep my head above water then I will be ok. This is like in the story when he says "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string." Then he goes on to say that "Accept the place the divine Providence has found for you; the society of your contemporaries, the connexion of events." So in order to be the best me I have to accept things that have happen in my life. I know that some are good but there are others that are bad. The bad is my past and it has helped to make me the best person I am today. People may make judgement on my life and say that I can do this and do that, but in the end it is up to me to do what I believe is the best thing for me even if I have to make a u-turn and try again.
When I am looking back on my life forty or fifty years from now, I want to be able to say that I lived up to what I wanted to be. I want to say that I am happy with myself and that I gave it the best shot I could. This will be the best me. I will have been like Emerson said and "know my worth." This is an important concept to me because what is a life lived if you do not know what the worth of it is. I want to know that I was able to obtain everything that I sat out to do and that I gave my one hundred and fifty percent at it all, no matter what. Then my best will be ME! I'm not sure if this constitutes the best in everyone because people are all different but at least we will all have one thing in common and that is being happy with being the best we could.
