In the words of Ferdinand Foch, “The will to conquer is the first condition of victory.” To conquer other people, you must first conquer yourself. You must develop the courage, the power to face yourself. Find the courage to be your true self. Don’t pretend to be who you are not. Don’t hide yourself. Give yourself the power to pursue your dreams, to defeat your fears, and to conquer yourself.

When you are faced with a problem, believe in yourself, face it, and move on. Don’t cry. Don’t complain. The Scripture says, “All things are possible to him who believes.” Just keep learning to be what you really are. According to Henri- Frederic Amiel, “Learn to … be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.” From now on, resign from treating yourself badly. Resign from pretending to be who you are not. Because life is not about pretending; life is about loving. Life is about sharing. Life is about doing. If you are not learning to be what you are, you are learning to be who you are not. That is scary!

It Is Enough To Be Who You Are With Yourself

The worst thing you can do to yourself is to try to be who you are not. Because the world wants you to be who you are not. To live your life, to enjoy your life, don’t try to be who you are not, just be yourself. That is the only way to stay connected with yourself. Your soul doesn’t want you to change who you are. It is your responsibility to stand up against those who are working day and night to change who you are. Don’t surround yourself with dream killers. Don’t hang around those who are wasting their lives. Hang around people who are ready and willing to lift you up. If you are with someone who doesn’t appreciate how special you are, don’t waste your time with this person, hang out with someone who will appreciate you. Don’t let people change you. Don’t waste your time with them. Be yourself for yourself. You are good enough, you are smart enough, you are tall enough, you are beautiful enough for yourself. If they don’t like you for who you are, keep going. That is not your problem; it is their tea to drink. Just focus on your “why”. And you will get your why.
