When we let go of what we believe that we have to be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we really are.
In our modern world, we have a inclination as humans to think 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 that we have to be stop us from really expressing who we are deep down inside. We constantly evaluate ourselves against others and create false masks for ourselves so friends and family will like us more. Thing is, after a while, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves no matter what.
It's a lot less complicated, and far more fun when you actually do it, to be exactly who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to assert that you shouldn't aim to improve your life. Nevertheless if you are going to go down the trail of personal development and deepening, you have got to really focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that truly is the only way that sustainable change occurs. When you start developing for people other than yourself or because someone just told you to do it, you don't essentially end up believing in what you are actually doing. Unfortunately, development becomes something that you cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be grateful for what you have at the moment and who you are and if you are looking to take a journey that might 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.
