BE YOU!

I was chatting with a friend earlier today and he asked that I describe him. Well, in my descriptions, I noted that he could be naughty sometimes and all. Then he said he had to change.

Instead of supporting his idea of change, I simply told him "BE YOU!".

Oftentimes, when we get to a new environment or we meet new people, we get scared of being our true self thinking they will not like us or we would not fit in and so we decide to change and become someone else, not putting on the true garment of who we are. Here's the thing, I'm not saying you should not change, but in the process of changing, just be yourself, do not let your personality change.

It is better to be yourself than to change into someone nobody will recognize. I mean what is the fun in that?! 

It is very painful when those people who are the closest to us or even family members start saying they do not recognize us simply because we decide that it is necessary for us to change so the world will appreciate us or so we can fit in.

Something caught my attention sometime back, it says "NO ONE IS YOU AND THAT IS YOUR SUPER POWER". Note that no one can be like you and so you do not have to be someone else all in the name of fitting in OR winning the favor of the crowd. In that case you will have no super power. I know we have said it on this blog that "you are the best you that there ever could be and that's what makes you unique".

So no matter where you find yourself, no matter the people you come in contact with, never stop being YOU!
