When we let go of what we think we must be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we really are.
In our modern world, we have a inclination as people to believe that we always need to be something more. We have got to be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we believe that we really have to be stop us from actually expressing who we are deep down. We continually evaluate ourselves against others and create false masks for ourselves so friends and family 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 lot easier, and far more fun when you actually do it, to be completely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to assert that you shouldn't take time to improve your life. Nevertheless if you are going to go down the path of personal development and deepening, you've got to really focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that lasting and sustainable change comes to be. 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're doing. Instead, development becomes something that you finally cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be incredibly thankful for what you have now and who you are and if you happen to be looking to take an excursion that would change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because deep down you know that it's the best thing to do and that it will create 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.
