are flawed.
But own it.
It’s a rare attribute– most are so concerned about their image, they feign perfection.
That extends to their happiness, their health, their job satisfaction, socio-economic status.
I like people don’t pretend. Who just wear their feelings openly.
Be that with their facial expression, body language, and what they do (or don’t) say.
Who SHARE their struggles.
You know you can trust those people.
I’m not one to hide my feelings. I did when I was younger.
But since I stopped, my life improved exponentially.
I like myself better, I’m more tolerant of other people. More humble.
People treat me with *more* respect, actually.
You may lose people along the way– but at least you’re being your true self. Over time, the right people will be attracted to and stick by you. I’m not saying to be cruel and irresponsible just because you *feel* like it. Be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions and words.
What I’m saying is, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Don’t compromise your values and feelings just to perpetuate a facade for everyone else.
I’d rather be rejected for being myself than accepted for putting on an act.
It’s the HIDING that gets us all in trouble. Why be so afraid? It’s not weakness.
We’re all human– we’ve got that in common. We have bad days, aches and pains.
Physical limitations. Disappointments. Abject failures.
Don’t feel you’ve gotta impress everyone.
Be yourself. And I promise, the right people will adore you for it.
Give it a try.
