If you want your life to make sense to you, you must stop proving yourself to people who will never love you. You are not here on earth to prove yourself to anyone, but yourself. You must learn to be comfortable with yourself. If you are comfortable with yourself, then you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone.

You have nothing to show to anyone. You are who you are. You are not comparing your accomplishments to the accomplishments of other people. You are comfortable with yourself. Don’t look down on yourself. You are good enough. You are a unique human being. You should celebrate your uniqueness, not abuse it.

If you are around people who don’t know your worth, you don’t have to prove yourself to them. Let them know who you are, what you stand for, and what matters to you. Don’t worry about them. Worry about you and where you are going. That is good enough.

They don’t have to like what you are doing. But if you like what you are doing, that is what matters. Learn to be comfortable with people who don’t know you. If you are comfortable with them, judgement will disappear. Whether they know you or not, you have nothing to prove to anyone. Do you?

To Understand Yourself Requires Patience. Do You Have It?

It takes time to really understand something, including you. We are quick to judge ourselves. We are good at pointing out what we are not good at. We love talking about our mistakes. We like to associate ourselves with people who think and act like us. Is that the way forward? Is that how to grow in life? Maybe, maybe not.

To know who you really are, you must be patient with yourself. You must tolerate yourself. You must be comfortable with both your mistakes and your ugly past. Yes, you must be comfortable with them. You can’t erase them just like that. They are part of your life. Instead of trying to erase your past, which is impossible, why not try to understand it. Why? When you understand your past, you can prepare for your present and your future.

“Be patient with yourself. You are growing stronger every day. The weight of the world will become lighter… and you will begin to shine brighter. Don’t give up.”

Robert Tew

No one can lead you to yourself REAL self. Only you can do that. If you don’t know yourself, you can’t change your life. You can do it. You must be comfortable with yourself. No one can make you comfortable with yourself but you. Why not do it. What are you waiting for?

Life is too short to waste. Don’t waste yours. It is your life. Make yourself comfortable with who you are. Don’t put yourself down. Always lift yourself up. To do that, you must be patient with yourself.
