Why You Should Embrace Your True Self

‘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.

How To Find Your Niche

Success comes from doing what you are good at. It comes from embracing your strengths.

To know what you are good at, what you love to do, what makes you happy, ask yourself,

‘What is it that I really enjoy doing? Be honest with yourself. Do not lie to yourself. Because growth starts with honesty.

Be honest. When you are honest with yourself, you can hear your inner voice.

Do not ignore your inner voice. If you want to know what is going on within you, you must listen to your inner voice. Ignore the noise. Do not focus on what is not worth doing.

‘If a thing is not worth doing, it isn’t worth doing well.’ Commit yourself to what is worth doing. That is where your niche is.

And overcommit yourself to it.

‘Overcommit to a mission that fits your interests, stretches your abilities, and gives you the potential to make a difference.’

Yes, you can make a difference in your life. That is not going to happen if you do not have the courage to find your niche. Remember, your niche is your niche. It is what you love to do, what you can do, what you will do, no matter what.

Your niche is not someone else’s niche. It is yours. And you must do whatever you can to make it happen.
