All of us admire others and wish we could be like them and have all that they have but you can't be someone else; you are you. You are one of a kind and unique, How can you be like someone else? Remember, you have your own talents and dreams. You can use those talents to chase your dreams, but do not sacrifice yourself to do this. Most of the times, you pretend to act like one you are not. You do this because you think that this will help you get what you want but you forget the fact that when you are doing this, you lose your real self and change. Also, you change your thoughts accordingly and become someone who tries to please others instead of pleasing yourself. Being yourself doesn't mean you are mean or you don't bother about others. It simply means you are living life how you want it to live irrespective of what others want. This is life and definitely not a film that you'll dramatise according to what audience demand. Live life on your terms. Life is what you make of it and if you are living it through other's perception, then you can't call it your own life. You should seek re-assurance only from you. Being yourself makes you happy and being who you are at your core can help you achieve all that you want. Be kind to yourself and appreciate it.
Be nurturing to your own self when trying to analyse how to be more like yourself. Always remind yourself to focus on your own journey and do everything in your own power and voice.
