I spent the better part of the first 40-years of my life looking for a guru, that person who would just blow me away with her or his prescience, kindness, compassion, vision and guidance. The one who would give me the answers. Who would tell me what to do to get to that place where I finally felt like I had “made it.”
So many others I knew had found one and their lives seemed so much better, more directed and purposeful for it, but that never happened to me. I would attend lectures, teachings, seminars, trainings and retreats and, inevitably, end up leaving early because some combination of information, integrity, pace or delivery did not resonate. Why couldn’t I find that person? http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...-your-own-guru

I love "Napkin Notes on the Art of Living" for that purpose; that book was my 'guru':

 You should get a peek into me sometimes. Anyway, the point of the story is that one can be only one's own guru...

I am always looking for that one person that can offer me motivation, inspiration, happiness, guidance..
While only we know ourselves good enough, some outside influence at times is great too!
