To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
The way that the world is in these times is the way that the world will always be. There will always be those who never quite figure out who they really are that let society mold them and make them into who they want to be, only to find out later on if ever, that living as anyone other than who you are at heart isnt much of a living at all.
The only viable option for us at any time is to accept that what helps to make the world go round are those people who are bold enough to be who they are at the deepest levels of their hearts core.
Though we have probably all heard that we should "be ourselves" at some point in our lives, and though it may seem like a good thing to do, figuring out how to be yourself is often a taxing process.
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.
Never stop being who you are, even if that means you may be misunderstood by most. Just because the majority of people don't understand you, doesn't mean that you're an outcast or anything of that nature. It just means you are so special that there are people out there who won't seek to understand you, but will instead show you hate because they don't want to understand, they'd rather just get by in life hoping to fit in.
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself. -Coco Chanel
Are you living your life to its fullest potential by completely and utterly being yourself in every way? Some of us get so caught up in the world that we desire for ourselves, that we choose to do it by selling ourselves out, instead of reaching for real happiness, love and fulfillment by being ourselves.
When you say yes to others make sure you are not saying no to yourself.
Are the things that you are allowing to commence in your life in relation to the people who mean the most to you making you compromise so much that you feel uncomfortable, and that make you feel at times that you don't really know who you are anymore?
When we choose to let the opinions of others matter too much to us, then we are choosing to let their opinions consume us. Instead of living your life worried about what others may think or feel about what you are doing, live your life to the best of your ability, with the things that are in your heart and not someone else's heart.
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.
Finding yourself is a long journey for some, and a shorter journey for others, and one must always be willing to reinvent and find out more about his or her self after each accomplishment. In an effort to find yourself, try out different things, notice what habits you have, and try to figure out the things in life that you are truly passionate about.
