When we let go of what we believe that we have to be, we permit ourselves the room to grow into who we actually are.
In our modern world, we have a tendency as humans to believe that we always need to be something more. We must be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we think we really have to be stop us from actually expressing who we are deep down inside. We constantly compare ourselves to others and create fake masks for ourselves so others will like us more. Thing is, after a short while, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves no matter what.
It's a ton simpler, and way more fun in the end, to be exactly who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't take time to enhance your life. However, if you really are going to go down the journey of personal development and deepening, you have got to really focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that viable change occurs. When you begin developing for people other than yourself or because someone just told you to do it, you don't actually end up believing in what you are doing. Unfortunately, development becomes something you cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be incredibly thankful for what you have right now and who you are and if you are looking to take an expedition that might change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop as you know that it's the best 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.
