Self-Reliance - Essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reading this essay several years ago brought me to reassuring tears that I had been living a life infused with good health and decisions. A life of self-reliance and in hindsight, a wise life, well-lived. My clients often suffer with no sense of themselves and struggle to have their own thoughts, their own felt sense of where they end and the world begins. To return to a sense of purpose, we must first literally come to our senses. Highly recommend this freely offered and brilliantly eloquent essay from one of my most favourite, Emerson.
