What does your Self-Sculpture look like?

SELF-SCULPTURE

​ Personal development, is
about chipping away
at the pieces we do not like,
about ourselves.
 
It’s about using a selection
of tools, from heavy duty drills
to fine chisels, as we get closer
to what we might be.
 
For deep inside our concrete exterior
is our real self, looking to be freed.
Our perfect ‘me’ is already within us,
and so, we chip away.
 
You see, personal development
is not only  about learning
new skills, or adding more layers,
to what we already are.
 
Personal development is about
chipping away to uncover
what is already here,
and to become what we really are.
