Thought for the day by Charles Handy on being in tune with one's self, and being an individual, to carve out one's own sense of success and standards. Handy begins the thought discussing the significance of one's name, sharing an anecdote about how, being invited to change his name for a workshop in America in which no one would know his real one, Handy declined to change his name, signaling to the seminar leader that he didn't want to find a "new me." He goes on to talk about how a new name should signal a rebirth to be oneself, and shares a relevant story about being oneself by Bishop Richard Harries. He closes the thought stating that one just knows when one is being true to oneself, and that one must trust what they see and hear to stay in tune with what the Spirit has designed for each individual.
Handy, Charles B Harries, Richard, 1936- St. Paul Corinthians (Books of the New Testament)
