When we let go of what we think we need to be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we truly could become.
The society we have been brought up in has fed us this narrative that we always have to be something more than who we are.
Our world has us believing that we have to live up to standards that actually can't be lived up to. The perfect body, relationship, look, hair, lifestyle and everything else you could possibly imagine. These things that we are fed are constantly telling us that we aren't good enough and that we have to purchase this or that to become something better. The truth is, you have these incredible gifts that if you unlocked them you could amaze the world. But the first thing you have to do is take off the mask you've been wearing your entire life.
It's a hell of a lot easier to be living a life exactly as who you are instead of always trying to be someone else.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't aim to healthily improve your life. But if you are going to go down the trail of personal development and deepening, you've got to truly focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that lasting and sustainable change occurs.
The reason why most people fail in their goals is because they don't actually believe in what they are doing. Their reasons for heading into significant amount of discomfort aren't supported by any strong will and they will find themselves failing over and over again. If you are going to dive into all of this, you have to make sure you're doing it for yourself.
Be appreciative for what you have in your life and who is currently surrounding you. Then, if you want something different for yourself, then dive into a journey that could help you create something magnificent. But do it for yourself. Do it to make yourself proud. Do it so you can love yourself just that much more.
Because in the end, if we stay true to who we are and really went for it, what could we not achieve?
