We are always comparing, from our childhood, we are taught comparison. Somebody's child is more cute, more beautiful and more intelligent, someone's child is more obedient, and you are not. This very concept has gotten so deep within us that we tend to lose the value of ourselves and would want to become someone else. This realization is shrouded by the ego’s desire to conform to common beliefs about how things should be, based on how the world appears on the outside. We tend to see ourselves as inferior and try to change. Although, it's totally fine to try to improve yourself to get the better version of ones self, but by trying to be someone else, that's where the error comes in. Never try to turn off the brightest feature of yourself, that's what makes you well...YOU. You're different in your own way and your ideas and qualities is what single you out from the group.
It's funny to think that as you admire the qualities of someone else, so is another seeking and admiring your qualities and as such, i would say it is paramount to embrace your qualities for you are different and you matter a lot in every way.
Are you being true to yourself?
No matter what you are doing in life, I honestly think in order to succeed you have to be 100% true to yourself. If you are scared to be your authentic self or think it is easier not to be, you are wrong. If you are trying to do something in a non-authentic way, it will more than likely fail. Always always be yourself!...Embracing who we are is a process, and it starts with honesty, reflection and self-discovery. Staying connected with ourselves is a life-long journey
We are all unique in different ways and so many times, we worry about what others will think and at that we are too afraid to show the world our true colors. Our uniqueness can be found everywhere. It’s reflected in our personal experiences. It comes out in what we pay attention to. It’s found in our beliefs, hobbies, creativity, genetics, and sense of humor. We can also express our uniqueness in how we dress, how we express ourselves and how we speak. You can't just stop being YOU, and try being someone else, that would never work and its crazy to even want to do it. There is no one like you in this world and even twins may look alike but both are clearly different both in beliefs, hobbies, and even sense of humor. So that for a fact should make it clear that each and everyone of us is different and unique in every way. Do not turn away or switch off that part of you, it's who you are.
I teach you to just be yourself, you are accepted by the sun, you are accepted by the moon, you accepted by the trees, you are accepted by the earth. You're anything but a mistake, the universe recognises you and you should do well to accept and rejoice in it.
