Being True to Yourself

Be True -> To Yourself

WE live in a cruel world. The society dictates us who we should be or not. The people around us have their own definition of what's morally right and wrong. We tend to allow them to manipulate us. We try to follow what they think is right and what they think looks good while we lose ourselves in the process. But no matter how much you try to fit in to their standards, you can never enough for people who never liked you in the first place. Some people will really judge and criticise you despite your efforts to look good in front of them. The thing is, you will never be perfect in the eyes of everyone. And that's okay. You don't really need to be perfect. You just need to be YOU.

Focus on improving yourself and work harder to become a better person for yourself and not for anybody else. Stop thinking about their opinions especially if it's not helping you. Don't try to pretend to be anyone else. Stop immitating others and embrace who you truly are. You are unique. You are a gem. Always remind yourself that you are relevant, you have a purpose and your existence means a lot. Others might not like you because they don't get you. Don't feel bad. Just swallow the bitter pill and accept that you're not for everyone. The right people will come and will stick with you no matter what.

The world will keep on judging you and will always throw negative comments on you. Sadly, that's normal. Some people are just waiting to see you fall down. That shouldn't demotivate you, instead, it should be your motivation to slay harder. You can't give them the satisfaction of seeing you fail. Prove them wrong. Show your worth. One day, they will swallow all their negative comments against you. Haters will always be hater. Don't let them affect you. It's easier said than done, I know. But they will only win if you allow them to get into your nerves.

Be yourself. Don't change to please others. Never beg for love by turning yourself into the person they want you to be. You don't owe them anything. If they want to be in your life, they have to learn to accept to accept both your good and bad side. If they can't, then they're not worth keeping. Surround yourself with people who knows the real you and still loves you.

As the saying goes, "why try hard to fit in when you're born to stand out?"

Being yourself is what you made different at all. And what matters most is how you tell the truth not to anybody, but to yourself. People will always do, what they want you to do and what they want you to be and it sucks. If you always listen to them, you forget what deserve for you. Being true to ourselves is what counts. The real competition is not about being the better or the most, it is the ability to value ourselves. A song made by Lionel Richie Entitled "Easy" there's a lyrics that saying. "Why in the world would anybody put chains in me? I'm not happy when I try to fake it" His not happy when somebody dictates what he wants to do and what he wants to be, That's why he want to relax and enjoy being him. For God has a purpose for being you is away from hypocrite.

You are right. One number work we should try doing is to try to focus on improving ourself like you just said. We should try to build ourself into a better person or a best person rather.
We should always be our self and never leave on pretending just to please others.
We should not try to change ourself just to please others. There are some people that will accept you for what you are.
