Being True to Yourself |
No one is more more miserable than the person who wants to be someone else. It costs each and everyone of us so much emotional bandwidth to try and be someone we are not and we don’t have enough of it. It’s a futile pursuit because we can never become someone or something we are not, causing our energy to spent in a net negative. Instead, we should do our best to live authentically and start asking a different set of questions. Identify the underlying emotion or purpose to what you want to change. If your goal is to connect with others and make more friends but you are shy and introverted, then forcing yourself to go out to bars won’t help as it’s not aligned with who you are authentically. Try attending smaller gatherings or events dedicated to things you love like music or arts is seamless. This is not to suggest that we cannot learn valuable lessons and skills from those we admire. However, trying to fit ourselves into the mold of another person will expend too much energy. Live authentically and pull inspiration from others into your own mold.   |
