Be yourself

For a long time I felt the need to meet the expectations of others. There was a difference between who I was and what I thought the world expected of me. Over time and some bad experiences, I realized that the pressure had turned me into a chameleon. The problem is that I was losing my essence even though many people recommended “be yourself.”

Has it ever happened to you? Is it happening to you right now? Do you really think that it is more important to be what others expect than to be yourself? How bad is it to be yourself? Over time you will feel bad, you will notice that you have lost yourself. So when this moment comes you will need to stop and start finding answers to the questions you are asking yourself.

Who do you want to please?

How much time we spend pleasing others! You probably want your parents to be proud of you, your partner to approve of what you do, and your children to see you as a hero. This is fine as long as you don’t seek approval from the wrong people.

This can lead you to forget who you are, what you want, and your opinions . When you spend so much time trying to please others, you forget your worth. It’s not wrong to want others to admire you as long as you don’t silence your own voice. You should not sacrifice your essence to please the wrong people. Be yourself and try to please yourself before anyone else.

Don’t live other people’s lives

Life is full of problems and setbacks that make it difficult for us to get where we want, but no one can live for us. By living surrounded by other people, it is not unusual for us to learn about their longings, failures, and most cherished dreams. Many times We try to satisfy desires that others could not fulfill and we get lost in a spiral of complacency.

If your mother wanted to be a doctor and could not due to her particular conditions, it is not your duty to fulfill that dream unless you also want it. Are you where you want? Do you do what you love? If the answer is no, CHANGE! Be yourself, it won’t be easy but it will be rewarding.

True happiness is based on respecting your essence

To truly be happy you must be honest with yourself, live your own dreams and be proud of what makes you unique. We grow up in a world full of stereotypes that tell you that you should be, look, and live a certain way.

The problem is that the standards they set for us are unrealistic. When you learn to be comfortable with yourself you can discover yourself. Think that there will always be someone more beautiful, intelligent , talented, stronger or richer than you. There are also less fortunate people. Instead of comparing yourself to others, look within yourself to find your true potential.

Live life according to your vision

Stop thinking about what you should be or do. Everyone lives with their own luggage and it is never as light as we would like. Let the person you are come out, Be yourself and don’t worry if others don’t accept you.

The people who love you and who truly matter will remain by your side regardless of your flaws. The rest will not accept you despite your attempts. This is why it is important that you connect with your authenticity and compassion. Don’t try to change others just to feel comfortable either. Just be yourself.
