The Art of being your own self .. Start living life on our own terms
These are interesting times we are living our lives in . Most of the people are getting connected to social media and seems to be living their life through social media with smart phone practically glued to their hands and faces. Constantly worried about their social perception and about maintaining their (oftentimes fake) image, they lose contact with their true selves. The first thing many people say about themselves is that they are insufficient. It’s a little bit more difficult for most to admit that they are magnificent, but considering the vast number of narcissistic and self-obsessed personalities these days, it’s also quite common. The healthy way between these extremes is the rarest, mostly because people are lacking in objective self-esteem and self-awareness
When ever we see a rich person or a hollywood hero we all wants to be like them having a luxuries car , girl friend , money and all those that every person dreams of but we never face the truth we never commit this thing that we are who we are. We are not here to compare ourselves with others. We all are unique everyone has got their own purpose. If happiness and satisfaction was in money than why would many of the hollywood stars drink ? why would they commit suicide ? Why would they drive crazy ? Why would be the ratio of divorce increasing in them ?

The only secret to happiness is always being your own self .If you want to change anything serious in your life, you have to FACE the truth. You are on your own. The government and the politicians won’t save you. The majority of them don’t care about you, in any given country on this planet. They’ve all been professionally taught how to lie to people since even before they got into real politics, no matter whether they say they believe in God or not. Your parents won’t save you and won’t do your work for you. At some point, your friends will start their own families and businesses, will start making careers or go abroad and part ways with you… and they won’t help you, either. No one will do what has to be done for you. You can’t just sit back and expect to magically start feeling good; you can’t expect other people to start treating you like they treat all these truly confident people. You can’t expect your life to change at all if you remain passive. It’s about facing reality.
Change your bad habits, change your thought-patterns, change your environment, change your friends if you have to, change your detrimental behaviors, even change your beliefs if they are not helpful in your life, but stay who you are. Be true to your real essence, your real soul. Evolve; develop yourself; but don’t change your true self. If you do anything to become somebody else, it’s the worst thing you could possibly do. That’s how the term “self-confidence” came about. It’s about being confident in yourSELF. YOURself, not someone else’s self! It’s about knowing both your strong and weak sides, your attributes, if you will, being aware and consciously using your uniqueness to succeed, while being at peace with your nature.
Confidence means that you feel good about yourself in almost every situation and that your self-esteem is healthy. When you are self-confident and your level of self-awareness is high, you know who you are and how you are, and other people’s words and opinions can hardly affect the way you feel. Explore yourself, discover yourself and then DEVELOP yourself and evolve, staying yourself at the same time. The more you KNOW yourself, the more you know who you are, the more self-aware you become and the more SELF-confident you can be, isn’t it obvious? Looking at the society we live in, apparently not! If you are not honest, not at peace with your true self and your inner nature, if you want to be something else, then you can’t be self-confident by definition. Maybe you can be non-self-confident then; confident in the fake character you have created, but it’s a losing game.
So Remember one thing Be your own self and do what you wants to do we are not here to compare our lives to others we are here to live life on our own terms .
