Do it for YOU
What could you accomplish if you did it all for yourself? Don’t be selfish. Be self-full. Admit it. How hard would you work if it was all for yourself? How much fun would that work be? How would you and your life be different?
OK, now … How much fun would it be to be around you at that time? How happy would you be? How accepting of others would you be? Hmmmm … who wouldn’t want to be around someone like you?
It strikes me that many people live life the way others want them to live because they think THAT is what makes other people happy. When, in fact, being around an unhappy person that does what I want is (at least I think it is) worse than living around a happy person who lives life his/her own way.
What does it take to be strong and stay true to yourself? It takes self-esteem and it takes honesty with both yourself and the people around you.
How have you experienced the freedom and happiness of living true to yourself?
