When we let go of what we think we must be, we allow ourselves the room to grow into who we truly are.
In our modern world, we have a tendency as human beings to think 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 that we really have to be stop us from actually expressing who we are deep inside. We continually evaluate ourselves against others and create treacherous masks for ourselves so others will like us more. Thing is, after a while, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves anyways.
It's a whole lot less complicated, and far more fun when you actually do it, to be completely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to claim that you shouldn't target to enhance your life. But if you're going to go down the path of personal development and deepening, you have got to really focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that sustainable change comes to be. When you start developing for other people or because someone just told you to do it, you don't really end up believing in what you're doing. Instead, development becomes something that you finally cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be thankful for what you have now and who you are and should you be looking to take an expedition that could change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because you know that it's the honest thing to do and that it will manufacture 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.
