SELF-RELIANCE PT.4

Emerson says that we are all scared to trust ourselves. That may be true for many people. We are all afraid to be us at one point, because we feel like we don't fit in well. Why should we contradict ourselves?  One thing I learned from Emerson was that not being consistent is a good thing because if you are consistent, your soul has nothing to do. Emerson states " A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Which means a foolish consistency is the mischievous imp of our little minds. Half of the time we are misunderstood but Emerson states " To be great is to be misunderstood"
