Being yourself !

Hello My dear readers,

and welcome back... to me. I know, I haven 't  written any articles for more than 4 months. My apologies to you but I was so outside of myself that I preferred not to put down things that I would not follow. Now I 'm back and this means that I am back on track again. There has been so much time lost that we would better start now, no bla bla as I like to say. Today I would like to tell you about the importance of being you.

I could not imagine being even near a full life without being Myself. Sometimes you can live your life without knowing that you are thousands of miles from your real self and this is one of the most destructive way to live. In fact it is proven to be unhealthy. For example, for the people who can' t say no to others when indeed they would like to answer negatively,  this will translate by inner frustration, pain and I would picture it like a drop of acid fluid flowing little by little within your body. This will cause damage and could even make you sick repetitively.

There are no worse things to be the carpet that everybody wants to rub their shoes on, for you but for others also. You bring the best in others when you bring the best in yourself so by reducing yourself you will reduce the people around you. I meet so many people who are living like this ( if you can call it living ), I so much want to tell these persons " wake up my friend, wake up it 's so desperate to live this way when you have such a potential... why are you letting others eat you alive ", the worst is that this could be reversed the day after if this person would know it. You can tell the minute you meet them that they have hard times to be the best part of themselves. As a human nature, unfortunately we will have a tendency to take advantage of every weaknesses of others and truly victimize those who are not showing confidence and strength.

Is it hard to be yourself ? yes it is. Strangely enough, we can find sometimes that it is easier to act like someone else. Easier to accept others decisions and will, easier to avoid any confrontation or disagreement. I think that people acting like this just do it because they don 't realise the slow devastating effect it has on their lives and self confidence.

Amongst my top values, integrity ( being myself ) is surely my first one. I could not live without my own integrity. And it is not self ego or proudness but just the realization that I am here on this planet to bring a part of myself and certainly not another person's will. Everybody has the right to be itself  as this is the biggest asset you were born with. I would rather lose a job, a material belonging or even beloved if I have to sacrifice my integrity and do something that would hurt it.

You will first encounter resistance if you are not used to be you, stretching yourself into a dis comfortable zone, but after a while you will love it, clarity will come to you... people will want you and grasp from you. So put your mask off and try the NEW YOU !
