When we let go of what we believe that we must be, we allow ourselves the room to grow into who we really are.
In our modern world, we have a inclination as human beings to think that we always need to be something more. We have got to be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we think that we need to be stop us from actually expressing who we are deep inside. We continually compare ourselves to others and create false masks for ourselves so other people will like us more. Thing is, after a while, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves anyways.
It's a lot less complicated, and way more fun in the end, to be exactly who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to assert that you shouldn't aim to enhance your life. Nevertheless if you're going to go down the path of personal development and deepening, you've got to truly focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that really is the only way that viable change happens. When you start to develop for people other than yourself or because someone just told you to do it, you don't actually end up believing in what you are doing. Instead, development becomes something that you cross off a list instead of a lifetime journey.
Be thankful for what you have right now and who you are and if you are looking to take a journey that could change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because you know that it's the right thing to do and that it will manufacture a better future for yourself.
In the end, if we stay true to our own paths and believe in ourselves, we are truly capable of anything.
