When we focus on being the best person we can be, we let go of the pressure and expectation of what others think we should be.
The society we have grown up in has taught us this story that we should be much more than we are comfortable in being.
We always have to be funnier, wealthier, skinnier, fitter, and everything else in the book. All of these things make us believe that we aren't good enough at all and that is the farthest thing from the truth. The truth is, we all have unique gifts that we were given and we just need to uncover ourselves from the endless stories we have been fed to truly see those gifts. If we fail to take off our masks, no one will ever truly see us for who we are.
It's a lot easier and far more fun in the end to be exactly who you are without any apologies.
Now, this isn't to say that personal development is a bad thing. In fact, it's a wonderful thing. But if you are going to go down that road make sure you are doing it for yourself. Don't do it for anyone else or to impress anyone, just do it for you. Do it because it makes you happy. Do it because you see more for yourself.
The reason why most people fail in their goals is because they don't actually believe in what they are doing. Their reasons for heading into significant amount of discomfort aren't supported by any strong will and they will find themselves failing over and over again. If you are going to dive into all of this, you have to make sure you're doing it for yourself.
Love and appreciate the things, people, and life that you have right now. Accept where you are at and then if you want to build something different for yourself, dive into it fully. Dive into it because you believe in it. Dive into it because it's something that you want to do and it's something that will make you incredibly proud. That's a life that you can be happy about.
Because in the end, if we stay true to who we are and really went for it, what could we not achieve?
