How to Shine in Your Life
How do you let your light out? Do you ever feel like you are putting on a show for someone in hopes of gaining their affection or favor? Many of us do this every day, and some of us live in this reality. I imagine famous people feel the burden of this social expectation the most because they must do everything in their control to protect their brand, themselves, at all times.
The world can be a mean and nasty place. Sometimes it can be hard to be our true selves and still feel accepted. Let's face it, "haters" are real and no one wants them in their business. The funny thing is that most "haters" often hate on others because the people they hate have something they want. They're just jealous.
Many of us hide behind faint laughs and half-harted smiles because we don't have the courage to just let lose and be free, we live in fear of what others might say or think. Let it go. Dr. Seuss has a great phrase for anyone who finds themselves hiding behind a mask, he says:
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Now, if you ever find yourself holding back, or hiding who you really are; Ask yourself, Why? What are you trying to gain, or who are you trying to impress? Finally, Is it worth compromising yourself? Sometimes you may answer yes, and that is okay, as long as your reasoning is rational. However, if you find yourself constantly sacrificing your values, or your beliefs, for something that isn't more important, you may want to choose a different path. The conflict and torment of your soul exists for a reason. If you ignore it, your feelings will fester and infect other parts of your life.
You must find the courage to confront these feelings head on in order to remove them from your experience. For it is only through breaking down the barriers in our lives that we conquer our fears and release our true passions. Don't be afraid of who you are, embrace it.
