HOW TO BE YOURSELF!

*Raj rings up his father for something he wanted!

Raj: Hey dad, did you bring me that yellow                        watch which I asked you last week?

Dad:  Oh, that just slipped out of my mind son. Sorry! I will make sure to get it soon.

Raj:  But dad…Rohan has that watch too and I           wanted that!

What happened now is Raj forgets his own personality and tends to become like his friend Rohan.

Everybody has compared their selves with others as the other person may be a bit extraordinary which impresses people! And while doing this...We forget who we are.

Let’s try getting back to who we are by few steps given below!

Ask yourself, “Who am I?”

Oscar Wilde has said with his usual wit: Be yourself: everybody is already taken. By saying that Mr. Oscar means that you are one special person yourself and you are made of great then why copy others?

By asking yourself, you will know what your talents are and how you can present them!

Never stop looking for your own strengths

Over a period of time… your definition may change but never let up in focusing on your strengths as other people are with flaws but they are good at hiding them.

RELAX

Stop worrying about the worst that can happen. So what if you fall on your face flat? Or you slip while walking or you make a mistake? Make sure to have a hard laugh and move on. People make mistakes and those who it let go and learn from them only succeed. Do let the mistakes go because if you hold it you may refrain yourself from development.

Be honest and open

Never feel scared to accept whatever you have done and be proud of it. Be open in thoughts as they will be the agents of your development. Do let the flow of knowledge pass through your brain. And do not forget “WE ARE IMPERFECT” 

Do not compare yourself to others.

In all fields of life we will come across people who are way too better from us and can actually act better than us. At this time one must keep trust in him/her and try to be better and not him/her! Comparing will always make you unhappy!

Stop caring about how people perceive you.

Some people will like you while some will not. Do avoid questions to yourself like “Do they think I’m funny” “Does she think I’m fat?” “Do they think I’m dumb?”

For yourself, you will have to let go theses concerns and just let your behavior flow.

Stop being a people-pleaser

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent and what matters most is that you listen to your own inner confidence and if it's missing, that you start developing it!”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Always wanting peoples love is a pointless exercise as it results in destroying yourself. Do not try pleasing people as they will not care or appreciate it. Do things for yourself and make sure you do not destroy anything during that process.

Never forget to “BE YOURSELF”
