When we let go of what we believe we must be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we truly are.
In our modern world, we have a bias as humans to think that we always have to be something more. We must 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 truly expressing who we are deep down. We continually measure ourselves against others and create fake 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 lot easier, and way more fun in the end, to be completely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to claim that you shouldn't target to improve your life. Nevertheless 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 really is the only way that sustainable change happens. 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 are doing. Unfortunately, development becomes something that you finally cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be thankful for what you have right now and who you are and should you be looking to take an excursion that could change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop because 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.
