Benjamin Creme said, “No one can lead you. You are born to be aware of yourself, to know the Master in yourself.” Why are you not comfortable with yourself? Why are you not happy with your life? The answer is simple: because you are not “aware of yourself.” And to be comfortable with yourself, you must know who you are. Do not try to be like another person.
You are not born to imitate other people. You are here on this earth to make your own statement. No matter how you look, to know who you are, you must be aware of yourself. Because no one knows you more than you know yourself. Do not get busy try to defeat another person. Instead, why not focus on making yourself better than you were yesterday? Do not imitate anybody. You have what it takes to do what you are put here to do. According to Benjamin Creme, “If you follow others instead of being yourself, you lose your sparkle and cannot reflect the light of individuality. Without that light, there is no progress in life.” So if you want to reinvent your life, you must follow yourself, not other people.
Accept yourself for who you really are. If you don’t have the courage to accept yourself, no one is going to accept you. Stop treating yourself badly. You deserve the best things in life. And you deserve to treat yourself really well.
No matter what you are going through in your life, no matter where you are in your life, do not give up. It is not the time to give up. It is the time to wake up! There is still life. When there is life, you can still do more things. You can change your life. You can defeat your enemies. You can walk away from those who are not for you.
Before you give up, before you say no to life, remember, every day is a new day. For that reason, you still have hope. Do not forget yourself. No matter what, say “yes to your life.” If you haven’t accepted yourself, try these strategies.
If you want something small for yourself, don’t worry yourself about thinking big. But if you want to achieve great things, you must think big. You must work really hard to make your dreams come true. And you must expect the best for yourself. As Charles Spurgeon once said, “You don’t always get what you want, but you always get what you think you’re going to get.”
You should never underestimate what the power of your thought can do for you. Thoughts are powerful. They can make or break you. So if you want to create something positive, you must start the process with a positive thought. Because whatever you put into your mind is what you are going to get out of it.
Be comfortable with yourself
Focus on what you are becoming. Do not worry about what other people are saying about you. Why is that? Because you don’t have time to waste. They don’t matter. So do not make them relevant. No matter where you are in your life, be comfortable with yourself. That is all that matters. Friedrich Schiller said, “One cannot prevent people from thinking what they please.” Yes, you cannot prevent people from saying negative things about you. Do not let what other people are saying about you stop you from living your life.
Do not worry about your past
When it comes to chasing your dreams, your past is not relevant. Your past mistakes are not relevant. Your past failures are not relevant. The only thing you can do with your past is to learn from it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Life is not going to reward you for what you didn’t do. So if you want your dream to come true, you must pursue it. Do not just talk about it. You must breathe it. You must sleep with it. You are your dream. According to Barbara Sher, “… our dreams are who we are.”
Your dream will come true if you take action. Do not let fear stop your dream from happening. Start small. Build it day by day. Do not wait for the perfect time to change your life. The perfect time to change is now. If not now, then when?
You must accept your mistakes
You cannot accept yourself without first accepting your mistakes. You cannot accept your life without first accepting your failures. You cannot accept your life without first accepting your self. If you do not accept yourself, then you cannot move forward in your life. If you do not accept your mistakes, your failures, then you cannot move forward in your life.
When you are starting out, don’t worry about mistakes. They will happen. And they are going to happen. You cannot stop yourself from making mistakes. And you cannot avoid mistakes the first time. But do not make it a habit of making careless mistakes. If you do not know what you are doing, ask for help. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of strength.
So if you want to grow, just know that you are not going to get it right the first time. According to Barbara Sher, “You don’t have to get it right the first time.” You can do it if you do not give up. You can do it if you have the courage to fail. Permit me to ask you. Do you have the courage to fail?
