You are here to do great things. You are not here to live other people’s lives. You are here to live as your true self.

You are not an imitator. You are an original. You deserve to live your life as your true self. Do not try to be like , to talk like, to think like, to eat like, to dress like, to drink like other people.

You are you for a reason. So do not ignore your uniqueness. It is important. It is important because you will not strive to achieve your dreams if you don’t have the courage to live as your true self.

Living your as your true self starts with self-love. When it comes to who we are, self-love is everything. Why is that? Because if you do not love yourself, according to Lilly Singh, ‘You will not work hard to for yourself if you don’t love yourself. You will not fulfill your dreams if you disliked the person who dreamed them.’ No matter where you, do not be scared to show yourself some love. It is the right thing to do for yourself- your mind, your body, and your soul.

To live as your true self, do not forget to make time for yourself. Make time to think, to rest, to refresh, and to reconnect with yourself. Stop running. Stop jumping from place to place. Live in the moment. Embrace the moment. It is all you have right now. If you lose it, you will never get it back. In the words of Lilly Singh, ‘When you are experiencing something exciting, beautiful, or rewarding, try to disconnect and just take the moment in.’ Why? Because if you lose it, it is gone.

To live as your true self, why not commit to your dreams? You don’t know what you can do for yourself, for the world, if you don’t commit to something. When you commit to something important to you, success is within your reach. According to Lilly, ‘You’ll never truly know if you can accomplish something or be great at something if you don’t commit.’ When it comes to success, commitment is everything. If you want to be successful, you must commit yourself to what is in front of you right now.

You can live as your true self if you do not give up on your self, on your dreams. When it comes to your own success, you are responsible for your own success. Remember, if you ‘don’t give up before you even try’, you will succeed. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to commit yourself to what you are doing right now, not what you are going to do tomorrow?’

Focus On Where You Are Going

Comfort is the enemy of growth. Comfort is the enemy of success. And comfort is the root of failure.

If you want to succeed, focus on the journey. Focus on what you are doing. Focus on what you are learning. But if you want to fail, focus on where you are. Focus on what other people are doing. Focus on failure. Focus on what is going to happen to your dreams.

Don’t focus on problems. Focus on solutions. Don’t focus on failures. Because they will happen. There is nothing you are going to do about that. Because they are part of the game.

If you are afraid of failure, then you are not ready for success. Because you can’t succeed without failures, without mistakes.

When it comes success, if you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough. Fail. Do not worry about it. The most important thing is where you are going, your journey.

Do not rest. Keep going. Rest when you are done, not when you are not done.

Is it going to be easy, no. But you can make it. You do that by focusing on the journey, not the end. By focusing on your growth, not your pain. By focusing on the process, not the outcome. The more you focus on where you are going, the better.

Because life is a journey.
