Value Of Being Authentic

We have so many pressures to live up to a certain standard and be a certain type of person. We feel we need to talk or act a certain way, and we try to reach for certain goals that other people expect of us. If the pressure is too much, we push our authenticity to the back and live other people's dreams and desires in the process.

We want to be liked, which is why we try to adapt to what others want, yet, the most authentic people are the most liked. Authentic people are interesting and having something unique to contribute. They can impact other's lives and the world in a big way. Remembering that can help you stay authentic in life. You have the find the value that being authentic has, because every once in a while you will need a reminder
You will find a ton of techniques and tips to help you master your life, and you can literally change your mind from moment to moment as you read one 'truth' and then another.

For instance, in one day I found myself believing that making goals was necessary for my success, and then upon hearing something else, I found myself believing that winging it was the best. At the end of the day I started to weigh each option in my mind and found myself stuck between the two. It wasn't until I chose the option that resonated with me more that I found a system that worked well for me.

And that's the lesson. What works for you may not work for someone else, and vice-versa. You need to use what resonates with you and let other people use what resonates with them.

Moreover, don't only take advice or lessons from certain people. I know too many people who won't listen to anyone who is not an accredited professional, and they end up missing a lot of lessons in life because of that. The fact is that a child walking by you on the street may have insight to help you answer a question you have been asking. Or, your mother (god forbid) may have some actual wisdom to impart on you. Don't close yourself off from receiving insight and help that could change your life. You never know where it will come
You may start to feel discouraged about life and your place and potential in it. You may even become depressed as you stand still and live the same day over and over again. And, at the end of your life, you will look back and wonder why you didn't take more chances or do more with your life seeing how much potential there really was for growth.

There is always something more to experience or achieve. You will never, despite your best efforts, become a perfect human being who knows everything. But, you can keep trying to work towards it!

Life is meant to be ever changing. You are meant to become wiser, stronger, and more capable. You are meant to experience more happiness and more success. Don't settle for thinking that this is all there is, because life on Earth is never done with you - until you die. You always have the choice to improve yourself and your life while you are here.

11. Don't Let Fear Of Failure Hold You Back

"Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail."

Bruce Lee went after what he wanted despite fear, and he went after some big things! It wasn't that he was incapable of feeling fear. He was human, so you know that he had fear in everything he attempted, especially when the odds were against
