When we let go of what we think we need to be, we give ourselves the room to grow into who we truly could become.
In our modern world, we have a inclination to believe that we always have to be something more.
We always have to be funnier, wealthier, skinnier, fitter, and everything else in the book. All of these things make us believe that we aren't good enough at all and that is the farthest thing from the truth. The truth is, we all have unique gifts that we were given and we just need to uncover ourselves from the endless stories we have been fed to truly see those gifts. If we fail to take off our masks, no one will ever truly see us for who we are.
It's a hell of a lot easier to be living a life exactly as who you are instead of always trying to be someone else.
Now, this isn't to say that personal development is a bad thing. In fact, it's a wonderful thing. But if you are going to go down that road make sure you are doing it for yourself. Don't do it for anyone else or to impress anyone, just do it for you. Do it because it makes you happy. Do it because you see more for yourself.
The problem is most people end up diving into personal development for other people and don't end up believing in what they are doing. Without some significant amounts of belief, you will end up giving up time and time again because your reasons for doing it aren't strong enough. The worst case scenario is that you give up on yourself and you end up resenting the other person who caused you to do it.
Be thankful for what you have right now and who you are and if you are looking to take an expedition that would 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. Improve because it's something that you know will make you happy.
In the end, if we stay true to our own paths and believe in ourselves, we are truly capable of anything.
