The I AM requirement has been something really special for me. To date I have done 18 of the 57 words laid out for us to ponder. Yes I will admit that I started with the ones that were easier to answer, saving the harder ones for later. But then I ask myself, "why do I consider some of these words harder to apply to myself than others?". That is a very tough one to answer, and I think that is what I like the most about this requirement.
I have been amazed at the introspection this adventure has caused, digging deep into what I actually think about myself. I have never really been one for true soul searching, preferring to skirt around the harder lessons life has had to teach me, pretending to be aware of my feelings and thoughts when in reality I am just floating by on the ideals of others. The I Am requirement has shown me some very uncomfortable truths about myself, but it has also made me acutely aware of facets of my id that I had previously been unaware of. The value of this in beyond measure, I am sure it would have cost me thousands of dollars at a therapist to explore these facets of myself.
So thank you I Ho Chuan, Master Brinker and Master Tom Callos for introducing me to this wonderful exercise in self learning, I will continue on with it till every one of the 57 words are answered.
