Just as in everything in life, everyone is going to take Baz's statement the way they want to. Ironically, I think that is part of the reason why he is saying it. When I hear that, "be true to yourself", I hear, "Own it." Choose your destiny that is in line with your morals and values and despite the haters or the people that might want to get you down. Or the people who might not believe in you. Or society that says you need to do this or make this much money to be successful. Define "you", define "success", define "happiness" in your own terms, not anybody else. And own it. If you fail, if you were wrong, "be true to yourself". Accept your shortcomings in the face. Don't blame anybody or anything else. Define your destiny. If other people are responsible for your failures, most likely they would be responsible for your successes. I can't swallow that. I am responsible for my failures so that I can change it and make happen. "Be true to yourself" means I sure do have a lot of potential. That's what it means to me.
Thanks, Baz for the daily inspiration.
