Don’t you just get sick and tired of trying to fit in? It’s not hard to be yourself and be happy. It’s easier than you think.
Looking around I see so many people who are trying so hard to be someone they’re not just to fit in! Have you lost yourself?
You’re looking down like you’ve lost your hope but what you really want to do is walk like the whole world is yours and you’re in control. You just want to be happy.
And guess what? Only you have the power to make that happen.
I’ve always admired my dance teacher. When she enters the room, the way she walks, the way she looks and her attitude instantly makes everyone look at her. When she smiles and starts talking the atmosphere in the room gets so positive and full of life.
What’s her secret? Well… she’s just being herself. She loves what she’s doing, she loves herself, she’s confident and shows all of these in everything she does.
You know what people say? That attitude is everything? Well they are right. And this includes posture. The way you walk, the way you talk and pretty much every gesture you do… body language.
Having a great attitude and being confident doesn’t mean transforming in something you are not. You don’t just press the confidence button when you need it.
And this is the most important thing. By trying to look more confident some will try to copy and transform into another person. Why would you do that? Be yourself!
Fake it till you make it works most of the times but if it makes you someone you’re not… it’s not ok. It’s like wearing some clothes you don’t feel good in, but you wear them because you think they will make you look better in the eyes of other people.
You are unique! Stand up tall, stay true to yourself. Be spontaneous do what you love and enjoy every day. If you’re feeling happy with who you really are people will see that.
Accept your mistakes. Nobody’s perfect, we all make mistakes and today is a new day! Perfect for a fresh start.
Focus on positive things and move on. And most important… don’t let anyone define you.
Surround yourself with the right people and dismiss the ones who try to limit you. Don’t let criticisms bring you down. It’s your life, your destiny. Take control of your life and spend it the way you want not how others tell you.

I really love this. I completely agree with you here. It’s difficult especially if you have so social anxiety or a severe lack of confidence (both of which I had).
I’ve tried to be other people and it works, but for a short period of time. Who am I really trying to convince? Myself? Other people? I’m not sure.
But you hit the nail on its head. Being yourself is something most people forget. Love the post! 🙂
Sincerely,
Leroy M.
