Humans are social creatures.
We want everyone to like us and everyone to approve of us. So when it comes down to it, it’s likely that you often times find yourself in the position of sacrificing your inner peace to please others.
But what is the point of molding into what others expectations are if that means losing your own sense of identity?
Isn’t that the sole purpose in your life? To find and own your own identity?
So people won’t like you. You might be too loud. Too nice. Too obnoxious. You might be a leader and it may ruffle the feathers of other self identified leaders. Or you may be too timid to speak your mind and that may upset people around you too.
But what is your intent? Is it kindness? Goodness? To live your life the way you want to?
Good.
Then this is your official permission to own that. To live out your good intentions. To be as loud as you want to. To be as timid and introverted as you want to. To live our your life the exact way that fuels your soul.
People will talk. People will disapprove and people will always judge you for the decisions you make that don’t line up with what they believe in. But who says that “their” way is the right way? Who says “their” intentions are the right ones?
Start listening to the inner you. Listen to what your soul needs. What it wants for you in life.
Because at the end of the day, your life and the legacy you leave for the ones that truly matter is up to you.
And it’s up to you to be true to yourself and what/who you were meant to be.
Don’t waste the opportunity.
Own your identity. Own who you are.
