When we let go of what we believe we must be, we permit ourselves the room to grow into who we actually are.
In our modern world, we have a tendency as humans to think that we always need to be something more. We have to 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 really expressing who we are deep down inside. We consistently evaluate ourselves against others and create treacherous masks for ourselves so other people will like us more. Thing is, after a bit, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves anyways.
It's a lot simpler, and way more fun at the end, to be completely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't take time to improve 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 truly is the only way that viable change happens. When you start to develop for people 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 grateful for what you have now and who you are and if you happen to 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 right 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.
