Be Yourself! 2 words that sound extremely simple but very difficult to follow in life. So what do you really mean by, Be Yourself? Lets look at some aspects about it,

Likes & Dislikes

As we grow up, we develop tastes and habits that are very peculiar to ourselves. Our likes and dislikes are a result of our choices in situations and our individual judgement, as well as comfort, for a particular thing at a particular point of time in life. Likes and Dislikes do not change drastically, yet there are instances where we start liking what we have been disliking all this while in life. Your likes and dislikes will always be unique and peculiar to you, do not be embarrassed about them, as they are a choice you made.

Goals

Your goals are your’s and no one else’s. Again, these goals have been framed considering your needs, wants and dreams! There is no one else who could accurately judge whether your goals are appropriate for you. When you set a goal, you may only need someone to help you with, whether your goal is realistic, based on time and effort. That’s it! Pursuing a career in Art rather than Science, is not anybody’s business to tell you, when you are very clear about your interest. Your goals are a reflection of your ambition, keep the faith!

Appearance

A person’s appearance is beyond control. It is a natural formation and the best a person could do, is to ensure you carry whatever you have got, in the best possible manner and maintain a good health. Yet, if you still cannot do these things, there is no reason why your appearance should be any indication of your worth. Never consider yourself inferior in comparison to other’s as it was not their choice how they look like, nor was it your’s. You are in control of whatever you have got from nature, hence make the best of it. Feel Good and Beautiful everyday, others will start feeling the same about you!

Educational Qualification

A PHD, MBA, Engineering or any other degree does not make a person better than others. It only provides the requisite tools to develop skills in those areas, it is all up to the person to make good use of it and become good at it. Educational Qualification has got nothing to do with your value as a person. Your curiosity is the biggest teacher. The more curious you are to learn things, the better qualified you become in life. Pursuit of learning is the key to success and not a mere college degree. Real learning comes from implementation from learning and committing errors in life. So, do not hesitate to commit mistakes and continue learning, as that knowledge will lead you to great success!

Hopefully you have understood, what I intend to say about Being Yourself! Each person in this world is unique and that is the secret to all the good things in life, so, emulating others is a useless exercise as you really cannot and will end up disappointed in life.

Love Yourself! Be Yourself!
