What are you doing right now to invest in yourself? What are you doing to understand yourself? What are you doing to understand your own mind? What are you doing to understand what frustrates you? Are you spending enough time to understand yourself? Are you tracking your patterns? Are you living your life? Are you living for your own personal achievemenets? Do you understand your values? Do you know what you want? Do you know where you are going? Do you know your strengths? Do you know what you are not good at? Are you trying to understand your emotions? What are you doing to understand other people? Are you working hard to change the world? Are you working hard to change yourself, or are you working to stay the same?

If you are serious about understanding yourself, then don’t be afraid to face serious questions. If you can answer them, going forward becomes easier. So what does being yourself even mean?

Being yourself is not just about knowing what you want. It is more than that. Being yourself is about your life. Being yourself is knowing why you are here, not chasing other people’s dreams. When you know what you want, you pay attention to what matters to you. Being yourself is knowing what matters to you. It is knowing what you will do, even when the time is not the right time to do it. Being yourself is learning to say no to what doesn’t matter to you. It is saying yes to what matters to you. Why? Because every yes you say to worthless things is a no to your dreams. Every yes you say to your life, to your dreams, is a yes to your future. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must have the courage to say no to useless things, no matter what.

Being yourself is about trusting yourself. It is about taking on your dreams alone. It is having the courage to face your dreams, no matter what is going on in your life. Being yourself is taking responsibility for your life. It is knowing that no one cares about your future, that if you don’t take care of your own future, that your dreams will never happen. Being yourself is about doing meaningful things. It is your ability to focus on what is important to you.

When you are yourself, you do not drift; you focus on what matters. When you are yourself, you don’t complain; you work on what matters. When you are yourself, you create positive habits, not negative habits. When you are yourself, you take care of yourself. You put yourself first, not last. You eat well. You stop reacting to external noise. When you are yourself, you consistently act with love. You treat yourself with love. You pay attention to what makes you unhappy. You choose your friends wisely. You truly focus on what is going on around you.

When you are yourself, you pay attention to your feelings, to your emotions. When you are yourself, you don’t just go with the flow. You challenge the flow. You ask tough questions. You listen to what other people have to say. When you are yourself, you look for better ways to do things. You challenge the status quo. When you are yourself, you treat other people with love and respect. Because you know that we are different. That they know what you do not know. Being yourself is about being comfortable with yourself. Being yourself has nothing to do with being perfect. But it has everything to do with accepting your imperfections. Being yourself is all you will ever need to succeed in your life. Because if you are not yourself, then who are you?

No one is going to give you permission to change your life. No one is going to give you permission to live your life, the live you really want to live. No one is going to give you permission to chase your dreams.

If you really want to do something, to get something that truly matters to you, you must take it yourself. Because no one is going to give it to you. No one is going to make you who you are not. No one is going to make you do more than your thoughts, and no one is going to make you achieve more than how you see yourself.

You will never get permission to live your life if you do not have the courage to take it yourself. You have got to be aware of where you are. You have got to give yourself permission to live your life, to enjoy your work, to choose your path.

Permission is free. You have it. So why are you not using it? Why are you waiting for other people to give you permission to live your life? Why?

Look, if you are still waiting for people to give you permission to live your life, you are wasting your time. You are not living your life. You are not making a difference. You are wasting your time. You are wasting your life. Because when you waste your time, you waste your life.

Don’t do that to yourself. Yes, you might not have permission to do everything in life. But you have permission to love yourself. You have permission to live your life. You have permission to love yourself, to love other people. You have permission to think for yourself. You have permission to take action, to do what you want to do for yourself. You have permission to do what matters to you. You have permission to start your dreams, to be imperfect. You have permission to beat resistance, to defeat fear. You have it. But you are not using it. You are still waiting.

If you want to change your world, stop waiting for the right time, for the right person to come into your life. Stop waiting for tomorrow. Because tomorrow will never come. Because tomorrow has its own problems. You have permission to start trusting yourself. You have permission to start your journey before you are ready. And you can.

And you must. Give yourself what you want. Do not wait for others to make you who want to be. Don’t wait for others to give permission to start your life. Once you give yourself permission to live your life, you start to see yourself differently. You start to see what you haven’t seen before in your life.

Even if you don’t know what you want, give yourself permission to start with what you have. Stop waiting. Stop thinking. Because thinking alone is not going to do your life for you. The only thing that has the power to change your life is when you give yourself permission to be you, the real you.

The question is, ‘Will you give yourself permission to live your life?’
