		<description>Hey Bart!  Thanks man, Yeah its good to be back to posting and seeing thoughtful comments from ya.  Well said, self-acceptance and humility go hand in hand.  Good point too about being able to just reach out and grab your purpose and go for it.  I think when it comes down to it, we each live our purpose in every moment just by existing so its impossible to screw up, yet on another level I think there are specific things that we may have set out to experience.  There is still much to explore in this area so I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll write more about it in the future.  A good book that I just started on this topic is Sacred Contracts by Caroline Myss.</description>

		<description>Ryan, good to see that you&#039;re posting again! 


In terms of finding your path and purpose, I think that the journey to discover it is as beautiful as pursuing the path. I don&#039;t think it has to be a non-linear thing either. Some can take a rough look at their life and just say, &quot;Man, I&#039;d really like to be teacher (or whatever) but...&quot; and find out clues to what they should be doing.  Anything that comes before &quot;but....&quot; is a great place to start in looking for your path.

Second, in response to the confidence and humility thing - I try not to get overly concerned about it. Humility, to me, has nothing to do with being quiet, soft spoken or minding your P&#039;s and Q&#039;s. (Sorry mam, pardon me sir...). Instead, it has everything to do with *accepting* you for who you are and where you are. Also, you don&#039;t have the need to compare. When you accept where you&#039;re at, you don&#039;t need to one up some one or steer the conversation to yourself. 

I agree with Ryan in that, acknowledging God above and god within will do a great deal for you in regards to humility. Namaste - I acknowledge the divine within. Both within myself, and with in you. I respect us both.

Anyway, nice to have you back. Missed you. Hope you&#039;re massive and grown in the self advancement department... so you can share it with the rest of us, of course!

- Bart
