The question is, ‘Are you really true to yourself?’ Are you? Are you living your own life? Or are you trying to be like the next person? Are you chasing your dreams? Or are you doing something that other people are doing? Are you trying to fit in? Or are you working really hard to improve yourself?
Life is tough enough. If you are going to be yourself, to be true to yourself, you have got to have a thick skin. You have got to be willing to stand alone. You are not going to live like other people, work like other people. You are going to be you, no matter what.
You are true to yourself when you are not ashamed of your past. In fact, you are proud of your past failures. They made you who you are today. Without your past learning moments, you wouldn’t be where you are now. So celebrate your past, not reject it.
‘Failures are learning moments.’
You are true to yourself when you know that you are not going to be perfect, that you are not going to get everything right, that you are going to make mistakes, and that you will learn from your mistakes.
You are true to yourself when you do the things that make you happy, the things that bring joy into your life.
You are true to yourself when you have the courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I love who I am.’
