Have you ever forced yourself to be someone else to please people? How did you feel then? Really, very tormented is not it. You have to do many things, but not on your own. Everything is done in order to gain recognition and acceptance in an environment.

Of course, it can not be done continuously. However, you should stop using "mask" and start being yourself. Here are 5 steps to achieve happiness by being yourself:

1. Here I am

If you've always been trying to be someone else to please a lot of people and be accepted by them, then from now on stop doing all that. From this moment on, strengthen the determination in your heart that you will be yourself and release the "mask" that has been worn.

2. Focus on self surplus

To be yourself, you must recognize who you are first. What are your advantages and disadvantages, what you like and dislike, and what you want in life.

After answering all that, now you must focus on the advantages possessed. Dig out the excess potential and make it as an identity.

3. Do not care what people say

Realize, you can not forever please everyone. No matter how tried, the name haters must always be there. From now on, do not mind any scorn or disapproval. As long as you are walking on the right track, stay on the track.

4. Stop comparing yourself

Sometimes, comparing yourself with others is necessary as a trigger. However, if too often do just the opposite. You will become discouraged and always feel inferior.

5. Focus on the goal

Everyone has a goal to achieve. Focus on it and what to do. Focus will make it easier for you to reach that goal and maximize your self-ability.
