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.
The society we have grown up in has taught us this story that we should be much more than we are comfortable in being.
Our world has us believing that we have to live up to standards that actually can't be lived up to. The perfect body, relationship, look, hair, lifestyle and everything else you could possibly imagine. These things that we are fed are constantly telling us that we aren't good enough and that we have to purchase this or that to become something better. The truth is, you have these incredible gifts that if you unlocked them you could amaze the world. But the first thing you have to do is take off the mask you've been wearing your entire life.
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.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't aim to healthily improve your life. But if you are going to go down the trail of personal development and deepening, you've got to truly focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that's the only way that lasting and sustainable change occurs.
The reason why most people fail in their goals is because they don't actually believe in what they are doing. Their reasons for heading into significant amount of discomfort aren't supported by any strong will and they will find themselves failing over and over again. If you are going to dive into all of this, you have to make sure you're doing it for yourself.
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.
Because in the end, if we stay true to who we are and really went for it, what could we not achieve?
