Your true self exist within the center of a
maelstrom of the total personality.
You are then, the fulcrum --
a point of singularity --
between your history and your possibility.
Every moment spent,
every choice made,
every course correction made during
the epic journey of your existence
brings you closer to the "eye of the storm"
where your "real self" exist
whole -- complete -- perfect.

During your lifetime,
you may occasionally pass over
-- and for a brief moment hover --
within the realm of this perfect self.
But soon, this moment will pass into history,
and your current self will then
be drawn back out into
the chaos of everyday life.

One must try to not be distressed
by an all to brief glimpse of a future self
you might wish to be in the here and now.
Instead, try to be strengthen by
the knowledge that the future holds,
within its folds of passing days,
a better you.
One that is actually obtainable.

Given time, anything is possible.
