“Always be the first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else” Judy Garland. Always be yourself, don’t compare yourself with others; No one in the world can do a better job of being you than you can. Love, respect and enjoy yourself, there is no one in the world like you.
You are a unique individual with a personal style of your own. It is ok to be who you are without having to make excuses for not matching up to a standard someone else invented. Once you accept your true personality something wonderful happens. You finally start being yourself, you then relax, people will respond to you more positively and you’ll have much more fun and greater success in life.
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong, there are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. No matter what positive or good thing you do, somebody somewhere will still think you are doing it all wrong. There are negatively focus people who have the unique ability to find the only weed in an acre of roses. And for these people who tend to focus on the negative, that ond nasty weed discounts the beauty of the entire garden of roses. Don’t ever allow these kind of people pull you down or stop you from achieving your goals.
There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout; This is me damn it! I look the way I look,think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me or leave me. Accept me or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit your mold.
Don’t ever rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself. No one else will be able to make that happen.There is no such thing as being perfect, Just be the best that you can be and you’ll be glad you did. Just because you are yet to achieve your goals or dreams doesn’t make you a failure. Stop all act of self-criticism, self judgment and self destructive behavior. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them everyday.
Believe in yourself and what you want to achieve. Be strong and persistent in pursuing your goals. Be passionate and have faith, its your life and only you can make it happen. Remember; only one person knows what is best for you and that is you.
