When we accept what we are and decide to be authentic, we open up for honest relationships, true happiness and success
Sometimes we want to show the world that we are without fault in the hope that everyone will love and accept us. But we can not please everyone, nor should we try it.
Our beauty lies in our vulnerability, our complex emotions, our authentic imperfections. When we embrace what we are and decide to be authentic, instead of being what we think others want from us, we open up for real relationships, real happiness and real success.
No need to put a mask on. There is no need to pretend that you are something else or someone else. You have nothing to prove to anyone, because ...
1. People who are worthy of impression from you want to be what they are
In the long run it's better to despise you for what they are than to love you because of what you are not. In fact, the only relationships that will last are those who make you a better person without changing you to another person and who are not keeping you from ripening.
Ignore the comparisons and expectations that you encounter. The only person you need to make is better - yesterday. Prove yourself, not to others. The right people will love you and will appreciate everything that is wrong for you people.
Conclusion - You can not change to let people love you, be patient, be what you are, and soon THE RIGHTEOUS people will love you THE REAL YOU.
2. No one else knows what's best for you
Do not get lost in your quest for others to accept you. Walk confidently on your own way and do not expect anyone else to grasp your journey, especially if they did not follow the same path. You need to do the steps that are good for you, no one else is walking in your shoes.
People will accept you as they are or not. Speak the truth, though your voice shakes. If you are honest with yourself, you leave the world something magnificent before it was gone. You shine when your passion and power emanate from you as you pursue your own path - when others do not hide you. You are powerfull when you allow your mistakes to teach you and when your self-esteem builds on first-hand experience-when you know you can fall, lift up and go ahead without asking anyone for permission.
3. You are the only person who can change YOUR life
In every situation in which you have been, positive or negative, you are a common thread of VI. It is your responsibility, and only yours, to recognize that you are capable, regardless of what happened to your current point of life, to make decisions that change the situation or change your thinking about it. Do not allow opinions of others to affect this fact.
What you are capable of is not a product of what people think is possible for you. What you are able to achieve depends entirely on what you choose to do with your time and energy. So stop thinking about what everyone else thinks. Just keep living your truth. Only those who want to live lie will see something bad in it.
4. Materialistic value scales are worthless
When you find yourself stuck between what drives you and what society tells you is good for you, always follow the path that makes you feel alive - unless you want everyone, except you, to be happy. No matter where your life takes you, to big cities or small villages, you will inevitably come across those who think they know what's best for you - people who think they are better than you - people who think happiness, success and beauty mean everyone same things.
They will try to measure your value according to what you have, instead of what it is. But you know better - material things do not matter. Do not run for money. Catch up for the ideas and activities that make you live. Go for things of higher value - things that money can not buy. It's important to have the power of character, a sincere heart, and a sense of self-worth. If you are lucky enough to have these things, do not sell them. Never sell a part of yourself.
5. Life is not a race - you have nothing to prove
Many people want to first come to the top of the mountain and shout: "Look at me! Look at me! "But the truth is, in fact, that all happiness and growth occur while climbing, not while sitting at the top. Enjoy your journey by paying attention to every step. Do not rush through life and miss it. Forget about where everyone else is in relation to you. This is not a race. You will reach the goal, step by step, not at once.
Leave the foolish need to prove to others and free the way to achieving what is important to you. Sometimes you need to remember that you do not always have to be and do what others are and what they do.
6. The road to all great things goes through failures
You are constantly going through the changes. You do not always have to be right, you just need to be non-concerned when you're wrong. Sinning is part of the process. Sometimes a fool is the only way ahead. If you are too busy impressing people with your "perfection", you will prevent your development. You will spend all your time looking at a certain way instead of living in a certain way.
It's impossible to live without being wrong sometimes, unless you live so cautiously that you do not even live at all, but just exist. If you are too frightened to make mistakes in the presence of others, you will not be able to do what is necessary to be successful in your own eyes. Remember that it does not matter how many times you make a mistake or how much your trip is unsettled, as long as you do not stop making small steps forward. Ultimately, those who do not care about the inevitable failures are those who have reached their dreams. You can be one of them.
7. It is impossible to please everyone at any time
Some people will always tell you what you have done wrong, and will hesitate to admit what you have done right. Do not be like them and do not suffer them.
When you come across someone who does not appreciate you, does not respect you and treats you poorly for some obvious reason, do not be wasted in order to change their opinion and get their approval. Also, make sure that there is no room for hatred in your heart. Just go away and some karma deals with things they told you and done, because every fraction of the time you spend on such people will be irretrievably spent, and every piece of hate and anger in your heart will ultimately hurt only you.
Concluding thoughts
You do not need an ovation, or that the book you write is the best-selling, or a promotion at work or millions of kuna. It's enough that you have it right now. Take less on what you are to others, and more about what you are for yourself. The lack of disappointment and pain will occur at the moment when you stop looking for the value from others that you can only provide yourself.
