But we can become intrinsically different from everyone else
by reconstructing ourselves from the core—from our inner depths.
We must design our own blueprints for new selves.
After years of deciding the fundamental directions of our lives,
we become more the creations of our own free choices
than the products of genetic endowment and cultural conditioning.
Then, because we have created ourselves—not copied others—
even if others choose similar Authentic projects-of-being,
we remain nevertheless singular, self-creating, unmatchable persons.
The inner process of re-inventing ourselves is uniquely our own.
We must channel our own anxiety, meaninglessness, and despair
defiantly into our own distinctive designs-of-being.
We become non-reproducible persons with never-repeatable lives.
