#29: There’s Only One You
There is some advice out there that sounds super easy to do but is actually a challenge for most people. This common phrase is one of them. We grow up hearing, “Just be yourself!” as if it were just that easy! For whatever reason, most of us fear being our true selves in front of people and feel the need to be like other people.
The key part of this advice is not caring what others think of you, which is actually the hardest part. So many of us are scared of rejection or embarrassment, but we shouldn’t even care what others think of us. If someone out there doesn’t like your genuine self, they weren’t meant to be your friend, anyway.
