Pearl Bailey said, “You never find yourself until you face the truth.”

This is the problem with many of us. We don’t want to face the truth. We don’t want to face reality. We don’t even want to look in the mirror to see our real self. We don’t. We are afraid to do it. We don’t want to face the reality of life. We won’t like what we will see.

But if we don’t have the courage to ask ourselves the right questions, how are we going to be great in life? How?

To know who you really are, what you want to achieve in life, and how to achieve it, you must face the truth. You must face your weaknesses, your strengths, your growth, and your development.

It is important to face the truth. It will help you make the right decisions. It will help you know what you want, when you want it, and how to get it. When you face the truth, you will know where you are going in life. If you don’t face the truth, you will never know who you are, and you will continue to do the wrong things. You will continue to make the wrong decisions. To change that, you must be willing and ready to ALWAYS face the truth.

No matter how hard, always face the truth. Always do the right things. Never stop doing the right things. Always question yourself. Always challenge your beliefs. Always question your thoughts. If you can do that, you will know who you really are.

Accept Yourself

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”– George Bernard Shaw, playwright

You cannot do anything if you hate everything about yourself. You cannot do anything if you keep comparing yourself to what others are doing. You cannot focus on yourself if your attention is on what people are saying about you.

If you want to be successful, you must first accept yourself. Accepting yourself means you are satisfied with who you are, how you look, your strengths and weaknesses, and that you are ready to learn from people who are willing and ready to help you grow, not those who will criticize you for no reason. It means you are ready to be vulnerable to learn what you need to learn to get better.

Don’t think other people are better than you. They are not. They have their own problems to deal with. Focus on what you are doing in life. The things that you are doing are the things that will take you to where you want to go.

If you keep worrying yourself about what others are doing or saying about you, you will not have the precious time to take care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, if you don’t take care of your actions, if you don’t take care of your relationships, if you don’t take care of your health, you will find it difficult to change your life. To take care of your life, you must take care of your actions. Our lives change if we change our actions.

Accept yourself.
