When we let go of what we believe that we must be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we actually are.
In our modern world, we have a tendency as human beings to suspect that we always need to be something more. We must be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we think we need to be stop us from really expressing who we are deep down inside. We consistently evaluate ourselves against others and create fake 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 anyhow.
It's a whole lot easier, and way more fun at the end, to be precisely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to assert that you shouldn't aim to improve your life. Nevertheless if you're going to go down the path of personal development and deepening, you have to actually focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that sustainable change comes to be. When you start developing for people or because someone just told you to do it, you don't actually end up believing in what you are actually doing. Rather, development becomes something that you finally cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be incredibly thankful for what you have right now and who you are and if you are looking to take an expedition that could change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because deep down you know that it's the honest thing to do and that it will create 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.
