REVEL IN WHO YOU ARE
Listen to this Insight
When was the last time you were truly yourself? Not the version of you, created to fit into today's world; but your actual unfiltered self. It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to be ourselves in today's world. We are subconsciously under the influence and pressure of society and our environment. Either the physical or the online community. We are made to act in a certain, unofficially approved way, thereby becoming people we are not. Other times, we try to change to become someone else, because we feel who we are is not good enough for today's world. This is evident in the way we interact on social media. It is true that scrolling through social media pages, and seeing the wins and successes of others can get to us. It could make us feel like we are not good enough or lucky enough, or even hardworking enough. And a number of us then try to shape our lives according to the standards of these successful people online. We try to imitate their processes and actions, hoping that it leads to our own breakthrough. We neglect those things that make us who we truly are, in pursuit of becoming people we are not. What we forget at this point, is that every human being is unique, and our paths are different. Changing who you are, only leads to more unhappiness. You would likely not be as sufficiently equipped to adapt to the path of someone else you have chosen to follow. Rather than trying to alter who we are, we should be precise with it. Acknowledge who you are, because you are unique. The fear of being different, is limiting to our existence. It's limiting our potentials and limiting what we can achieve. The world may just be waiting for what you have to offer, but fear, cautiousness, and the thought of 'I am not good enough' hold us back. Revel in who you are. Do not live like you're the carbon copy of the same generic human.
