Why You Should Embrace Your True Self

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘How a person chooses to live authentically depends on their perspective, and I fear that a superficial meaning of authenticity can sabotage our growth and diminish potential.‘- Iman Oubou

How do you choose to live your authentic life? Do you have the courage to do it? Or are you scared of what people are going to say?

Do not be scared to be who you are. Because if you do not have the courage to live your authentic life, to represent yourself, to speak up for yourself, to take charge of your life, to create a better life for yourself, then you are not helping yourself.

You are doing more harm to yourself than you think. You are stealing from your future. You not watering your plants. You are wasting your time.

That is not what authenticity is all about. Being authentic is life. It is everything. If you do not have it, you must look for it.

To do that, remember that being authentic is not about other people. It is about you. Authenticity starts in your heart. That is why you should never play with your dreams. That is why you should never play with your life.

Why is that? Because you can lie to others, but you can’t run away from yourself.

If you do not want to make yourself miserable, stay true to yourself.

Perfection Is Your Enemy

‘Perfection doesn’t need grace, and for misfits like us, we need to understand our need for grace over perfection. Perfection will not give us what we are looking for, and in fact perfection tends to change its definition whenever we think we’ve attained it. Exposing your flaws gives grace a chance to do the healing instead of covering yourself with false perfection.’

No one is holding you back from achieving what you want to achieve. No one is blocking you from reaching your destination, from achieving your dreams.

You are not moving forward because you want to be perfect. You want to get everything right before you start.

‘… we need … grace over perfection. Perfection will not give us what we are looking for….Exposing your flaws gives grace a chance to do the healing instead of covering yourself with false perfection.’- Bob Goff

You want to know everything before you do something. Stop it. Do not hold yourself back. You have what it takes to move forward. If you do not do it now, when are you going to move your life forward, when are you going to take your own leap of faith?
