True self-expression is the key to lasting fulfillment

What if the “secret” to having everything you want is to just be yourself?
One of our greatest challenges is fulfilling all the roles we play and answering to the various desires we have from love to success and happiness. Over the years of guiding people with Life Cultivation, I’ve realized that the most simple way to create inner and outer fulfillment at the same time is to discover and express your true self. When it came time to write my first book, I was going to write about Life Cultivation but it seemed overwhelming at the time (my blog shares the details!)

As I relaxed into the idea of writing my book, Chameleon Butterfly Dragonfly came to me. (watch my author’s intro for details). At first I didn’t see the connection between the archetypes and discovering your true self and then it became very clear. It continues to amaze me how accurate the quiz in the book is and how accurately these archetypes capture the essence of your true self. Discovering whether you are a Chameleon, Butterfly, or Dragonfly is liberating. Then reading about the famous Chameleons, Butterflies, and Dragonflies inspires you to come forth and express your true self boldy, completely, and uniquely.

You each have all three archetypes within you (Chameleon is your mind, Butterfly is your body and Dragonfly is your spirit) but ultimately you will emerge aligned with one or a combination of two archetypes as you get closer and closer to full self-expression. Why bother discovering your “true” self? Living as an expression of your true self is the “secret”. Something profound happens when you discover your true self. You gain clarity and connection deep within. From this place, creating your life is a matter of expressing who you are and expressing who you are is what fulfills your desires. This way of living moves you beyond intermittent happiness to lasting fulfillment.
