Helping others become even better versions of themselves
What we accept is what we will get from others.
It is up to ourselves to let the world know what is and isn’t acceptable to us.
If we do not respect our own values, no one else will.
Following the crowd is easy and yet painful.
Being ourselves starts off hard and become easy and fulfilling.
The pain of being in the crowd lasts a lifetime, being brave eases the pain into happiness.
Accept what you choose to and live with the outcome of that choice.
Bravery to stay firm is just a habit.
Don’t spend your life trying to perfect yourself for others expectations.
It is about saying this is me. I am worthy already.
We say ‘yes’ to things to fit in. We agree with things, that inside we disagree with so as not to offend others. We act and behave to fit in with an expectation of us set by society, the world, other people and as we struggle to meet these expectations, then disappointment rises and we feel unworthy.
If we live without any boundaries of what is or isn’t acceptable for us, then we allow others to influence how our story is written.
It is about being us, accepting ourselves and believing that we are already good enough and that does not mean we can not be generous towards others, but there have to be boundaries that allow our imperfections to be OK.
It’s about being you not what others expect you to be, after all, it is your life, your story and you need to write it for you.
