If you are not expressing yourself, you are not living for yourself. Self-expression is life.

It is your life. It is how you live your life. How you express yourself is how you see yourself.

Your self-expression represents your inner self. It represents your real world.

So do not be scared to express yourself. Whatever it is that makes you happy, do not be scared to do it.

If you love reading, why not buy books and read them? If you love to watch movies, then go watch your favorite ones.

Life is about self-expression. So do not fail to express yourself.

If you are not expressing yourself, you are hiding who you really are.

If you do not have the courage to show the world who you really are, you are denying yourself what the world has for you.

Wherever you are, if you are not encouraged to express yourself, to show who you really are, then do it for yourself.

Are you really encouraged to express your real self?

Why You Don’t Need To Be Perfect

You are not expected to be perfect. No one expects perfection from you.

According to Alan Stein Jr., ‘No one gets it right every time.’ That is why you shouldn’t worry about failure. It will happen, like it or not.

It does not matter what you do. You are not going to get it right the first time. Because of that, if you want to grow, you must be patient with yourself.

Don’t strive for perfection. Instead of wasting your time, why not go for excellence? Why? Because

If you are striving for perfection, you are not going to win the fight. You are going to lose it. It is a losing fight. Don’t even try to face perfection.

It is not going to happen. It is not going to happen because we are human beings. We are still growing. We are still developing yourselves. We are still improving our lives.

We are not free from making mistakes. And mistakes are going to happen. If you are not making mistakes, if you are not messing up, if you are not screwing up, you are not trying enough. You are not pushing yourself enough. You are not taking risks.

If growth is what you are after, then you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Excellence is possible, but perfection is impossible. So if you want to lead yourself forward, you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Focus on getting better every day. Why is that? Because we are still growing. We never stop learning. We never stop growing. We never stop developing. And we never stop improving our lives.

The question is, ‘What are you doing to improve your life? Are you going to stay the same forever?’
