When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
—Lao-Tzu
It’s easy to mirror others, especially with the constant influence of social media, it can be tempting to play the roles we’ve been conditioned to play. The harder, yet more rewarding path is to take the time to discover who you really are. Read the book you’ve always wanted to read. Watch the movie that excites you, not the one everyone else is watching. Each day is an opportunity to understand yourself better and get closer to your true self.
Be patient with the process. The journey of being authentically you is one of the most valuable paths you can take.
