When we let go of what we think we must be, we permit ourselves the room to grow into who we really are.
In our modern world, we have a tendency as humans to believe that we always have to be something more. We have to be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we think we have to be stop us from truly expressing who we are deep down. We consistently evaluate ourselves against others and create fake masks for ourselves so other people will like us more. Thing is, after a bit, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves anyhow.
It's a ton simpler, and far more fun at the end, 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're going to go down the journey of personal development and deepening, you've got to actually focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that truly is the only way that lasting and sustainable change happens. When you start to develop for other people or because someone just told you to do it, you don't essentially end up believing in what you are doing. Rather, development becomes something that you cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be incredibly thankful for what you have at the moment and who you are and if you are looking to take an excursion that might change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because deep down you know that it's the right thing to do and that it will make 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.
