George Bernard Shaw on Life

This post, and the last one (from Gautama Buddha) both talk of creating yourself, rather than finding yourself. There is no yellow brick road for most of us, that take us straight to the wizard like in The Wizard of OZ, take this quote from George Bernard Shaw:

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

-George Bernard Shaw (1856 -1950)

And if you recall the movie, the wizard can't give you what you want anyways. There is no secret path that takes you where you want to go because you cannot go someplace if you don't know what that place is. You need to create what you are and create where you want to go. It's our vision that leads us forward, and without at least some idea of what you want, you're just doing what other people want. Yes, you might have to find what you moves you, but then you need to create that yourself.
