Stop Being Someone You're Not

What if the possibilities you’ve always dreamed of ARE possible? And what if I told you that the tools to create those possibilities exist? 

To love yourself means to accept yourself as you are and to come to terms with those aspects of yourself that you cannot change. It means to have self-respect,  a positive self-image, and unconditional self-acceptance. It is important to remind ourselves that no one is perfect. We all have strengths and weaknesses and we certainly possess the resources to work on improving ourselves.

Most people encounter difficult situations and do things that they regret later. The actions you take in any moment are your truth in that moment. Although they sometimes cause you and others harm, they are what they are. Judgment doesn’t bring you further in life and it has no purpose other than to tie you to the past. It paralyses you from going forward and self punishment and self judgment prevent you from living in this moment and sometimes they can even stop you from doing all the millions of good things that you have in you. Don’t let the past steal your present.

Feeling responsible for another’s happiness, cause of deep misery.  It is noble that you want to help others, but it is something you should do because you want to, not because you feel you have to. The willingness to help others should come after you know how to help yourself. People-pleasers often feel like they have to say yes when someone asks for their help. Remember that you always have a choice to say no. People have a way of projecting their expectations on you, this can lead to a desire to be someone that you aren’t in order to please others. Don’t let others use you to avoid being responsible for their own decisions.
