BE YOU

Often times we find ourselves playing the scenario of been other people in our mind, we struggle deep in our minds asking questions like why can't I be like him/her?, and most times we end up concluding that we are not good enough.

This brings us to one of my favorite quotes which says.

Be yourself because every other person is taken
OSCAR WILDE

We are all different individuals With specific purposes, so why try to be someone else when you actually have you to be.

Just like the quote says, every other person is taken, would you rather not be an original version of yourself than trying to be a fake or imitation version of another person?.

Situations in life can lead one to believe that him/her is not good enough but the worst failure is when we allow those situations to conquer our mindset. Instead of struggle to be other people we should rather strive to improve ourselves.

There is one thing people find difficult to understand, it is the fact that nobody is perfect. In other words imperfection is totally normal.

Do you think you are weird, too quiet, too slim, too fat, whatever the fact is, just let the madness flow.
Who even wants to be normal?

Marilyn Monroe said and I quote

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Marilyn Monroe

Steps To Follow When Trying To Be Our True Self

1. Understand that you are living your life: The first step when trying to be you is to understand and convince yourself that you are living your life for yourself and not to please anybody. This understanding comes with mind liberation and happiness.

2. Be confident with yourself: What you show people is what they accept and most times been bold and confident is all it takes to get you going.

3. Unmask yourself and flow: Have you ever wondered why people make money through comedy?, those are likely to be people who were called talkatives in the past but because they accepted and directed their noise making and madness into something positive, they are now been pay to talk. So be mad if that is what it takes.

4. Accept who you are first : when we accept who we are then people can never use it against us. If you are a bastard then accept that you are one, if you are spiritual accept that you are one. When we accept ourselve then it ends up sounding funny when someone tries to use it against us.

5. Always be positive about life. Life is a gradual process.it is not a bed of roses, the best we can do for ourselves in life is to always have a positive mindset.

Instead of trying to be someone else grow yourself and let others try to be like you.
In conclusion

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson
