Be you. Do not change who you are. Do not try to be who you are not. If you do, it won’t work. It will make you even more miserable.

You are alive when you are you, when you have the courage to express yourself. Being you is NOT about trying to be like another person.

Being you is not about denying yourself love, greatness. Being you is not about impressing other people. Being you is not about enduring your life.

Being you is not about accepting what you are more than. Being you is not about settling for less. Being you is not about rejecting yourself.

Being you is not about faking your life. Being you is not about suffering in pain. Being you is not about treating yourself with disrespect.

Being you is not about ignoring your stories. Being you is about your struggles. It is about your weaknesses. It is about your strengths. It is about your stories. And it is about your journey.

Being you is accepting who you are, no matter what. Being you is having the courage to live your life, even when people don’t like the way you live your life. Being you is accepting your imperfections.

Being you is living your life, is enjoying your life, even when things are not perfect. Being you is about appreciating your life, no matter what you are going through.

And being you is about having the courage to face yourself, no matter what. It is having the courage to accept your life. Being you is about self-love, not about self-rejection.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to love yourself, to accept who you are, no matter what?

As always, when life throws hard balls at you, remember, You are more, not less!

Comfort Is What Is Holding You Back From Achieving Your Goals

If you want to grow, comfort is not your friend. It is your enemy number one. If you want to be successful, comfort is not your friend. It is your enemy number one.

If you are trying to get back up, to make a difference in your life, in the lives of those around you, you must get away from your comfort zone.

If you are tired of getting the same results, you must change where you are, what you do, and how you are doing it.

Remember, to change your life, you must change. To get to a new place, you must move. You must leave where you are. To know more, you must learn more. That is how life works.

Do not expect to get what you want if you are not willing to do the work. And to do the work, you must get out of your comfort area.

When it comes to success, we all want to be successful. But no one wants to leave where they are. No one wants to try new things. And no one wants to think differently.

According to Claudia Chan, ‘We all aim to be comfortable, but comfort is really the enemy of leadership because so many of steps up the mountain require courage.’

If you want to become great at something, it is not going to happen in your comfort zone. It is going to happen in your doing zone.

If you want less, stay in your comfort zone. If you want more, then make your way out of your comfort zone.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to take the first step?’

As always, when things get tough, remember, You are more, not less!
