Being you doesn’t mean that you need to be there for everybody. That is not what we are talking about. But it get people closer to you.

Because when you are who you are, you do not have anything to hide. You have got to be you. If you want people to trust you, you have got to be you.

Be you. Do not fake your life. Being you means you are real to yourself. Yes, it takes courage to be who you are.

You are not here to be a people-pleaser. You are here to make a difference in the world. You are going to be better able to help other people when you are yourself, when you have the courage to do what you are here to do.

Being who you are means being honest with yourself, with your imperfections, trying to be like other people.

You are who you are when you are okay with your weaknesses. You are who you are when you are not afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

You are who you are when you have the courage to say ‘no’ to what you don’t want.

Be you. You can be you, not others. If you want to experience peace, to invite happiness into your life, you have got to be you.

As always, You are more, not less!

Where Does Courage Come From?

Where does courage really come from? How courageous are you? What gives you courage?

Is it self-love? What is it?

Whether you can remember what gives you courage or not, we all need it. Because without courage, we are not going to be able to achieve success.

We won’t be able to go through difficult times. We won’t be able to face tough times. We won’t be able to ask for what we want. We won’t be able to live the way we want to live our lives. We won’t be able to express ourselves. We won’t be able to face other people.

So where does courage come from? What is it about?

Courage is not just about facing the demon in front of you. Courage does not come from playing it safe. Courage does not come from hiding who we are. It does not come from trying to be like other people.

Courage does not come from pretending to be who you are not. It doesn’t come from pleasing other people.

Courage, the real one, comes from within. It comes from doing what you are put here on Earth to do. It comes from challenging yourself, from expressing yourself, from being vulnerable.

Courage comes from doing, not from talking.

Courage comes from being real with yourself, from loving yourself, from loving others. Courage comes from living for you, from thinking your thoughts.

Courage comes from forgiving people who have done things to you. It is about being real when others are just acting. It is about saying to yourself, ‘I am enough for me.’ The question is, ‘How courageous are you?’

As always, You are more, not less!
