be yourself?
Now that you know what the term means and why you should be yourself, let me now explain how one can be himself. The entire process is divided into three simple steps. Following them will lead you to being yourself. Being yourself ultimately will lead you to succeed in life. So follow these steps:
- The first step is to identify yourself. It involves determining your own identity. You should know who you are. People usually identity themselves based on their professional lives. It is common because your professional life actually determines where you stand in terms of living your livelihood. But does your job really define you? It defines your external self. There are options where you can switch between jobs and get a better job. But that does not change you as a person. What you are is defined by identifying what your core values are, what makes you feel alive, your perception of a situation where money does not exist, your purpose of living your life and how you see yourself in future. This, identification of one-self is the first step to understanding how to be yourself.
- The second step is the cultivation of your true side. This makes you develop a right attitude to the nature you possess. If you are sad with your faults that doesn't mean you start being fake. The faults should be cultivated into positives. Having a positive attitude towards yourself helps in cultivating yourself. Respect your decisions, respect your views and you will find you are your own self. So under this step, you first work on developing self-respect, falling in love with your own self, choosing your own path of life, accepting the faults and mistakes you have, and here you are ready to follow the third step.
- And thirdly, you finally develop the courage to what you actually are. Never care what others think of you. If you start considering what others might think, then you are taking yourself to the rear. There are people with positive attitudes as well as negative ones. But life goes on. Simply accept both the sides and stay positive by what you are. Never try to please anyone. Having some amount of attitude is highly imperative. Also, make sure you never compare yourself with others. You are different, and you have your own level. Instead of looking at what others are doing or thinking, you should follow your intuition.
So, now that you have understood how to be yourself follow these three steps and you will see the change in life. You will see how happy you start being and success gets closer.
