Are you being yourself?

Remember the world is full of other people. Not being exactly like you, and perhaps being very different…”other people” do not always think and act as you would and as you would like them to.

How many times in your life you think of how others would feel when you do something or say something?

Sure you are around other people wanting to satisfy their needs and this is healthy but just don't hurt yourself trying to satisfy other people's needs. What happens when you think about others rather than about yourself…we tend to make major decisions based on this, though we would be happy on a different decision. While doing that you may not be contented.

Think of yourself. Carry in your mind a positive picture of the person that you are, this isn't being conceited, it is being real.

Can you be alone and be comfortable with yourself or do you always need others around? We all need to spend some time by ourselves, not to the limit that we don't include others in our lives but we all need a little private time and don't feel guilty about taking this time for ourselves.

There seems to be a notion of confusion over being yourself. I will tell what I do…To be happy you need to be satisfied with yourself. Humans are all around…Sometimes friendly…Sometimes sad…Sometimes rude…Sometimes happy…Sometimes hurting…to justify all is impossible. Just express your feelings in a healthy way not in a violent way. I am sure at some point people will come to know why you spoke like that or why you did that…All it takes them is to think what they would have done putting themselves on your shoes…Only you can know when you have reached a point where you are happy.

Be yourself!
