Today I share a small reflection on my part.
"Let us be authentic, even with the risk of not liking or not being approved by others. Knowing our capabilities and limitations will allow us to accept ourselves "
Despite the costumes, the business cards, the titles and all the treasures we have saved ... time will reveal our true values, beliefs, ideas and feelings. It is true that caring for our image is important, but being authentic and coherent with who we really are will allow us to project our true image towards the world and others.
There are people who have used so many disguises throughout their lives, trying to win the approval or affection of others, who can no longer define who they really are.
Did you know that we have the responsibility and the possibility to make an essential inventory of life to know ourselves and know if we want to continue acting and living as we have done so far or if, on the contrary, we want to find our true self, changing the negative aspect to incorporate some more positive habits and beliefs into our life?
We can rest from the heavy armor we wear every day to protect ourselves from the comments, attitudes and negative actions of other people; of the same that we wear to defend ourselves from any danger that we assume may present itself to us in the future, or the one we carry to prevent us from being betrayed, abandoned or mistreated as in the past. Let's take the decision to overcome all that emotionally continues to affect us negatively to be, finally, ourselves.
Let us learn to live in the present without the burden of resentment for painful and negative memories, without fear of the pessimistic comments of others in the face of the future.
Let us be authentic, even with the risk of not liking or not being approved by others. Knowing our capabilities and limitations will allow us to accept and work on ourselves to strengthen the first and overcome the second; only then can we feel comfortable with ourselves.
To be authentic
Stop Pretending Be yourself, avoid acting or expressing yourself as other people do. Accept yourself as you are, find your own style and feel confident to show others naturally.
Be the same everywhere. There are people who change their behavior according to the situations or places where they are. Try to act in the same way, driven by the same values at all times.
Become a better person Change those things that you do not like about you. Improve your image by taking care of your body and your health a little more. Fill your mind with more positive and optimistic thoughts. Recover and nourish the enthusiasm for life.
You are a unique and special being with great qualities ... Go ahead! Show the others that special person inside you.
Let go of the past, stop worrying about the future, live the present, life is wonderful, everything will be fine!
