Changing...
Being Yourself!
I strongly believe you should never judge people by how they look. The only thing that matters is what's on the inside.
Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys
True friends are here till the end,
Always giving a helping hand.
Trying to be the best,
Cos they wanna beat the rest.
Being yourself is part and parcel of growing up. However, are you putting up a show to bring about the uproars of everyone? The majority of you'll reading this are aware of at least someone falling under this category. Do not be surprise because that person could be you!
When coming into a friendship, you have to have a solid sense of who your friend is. This means knowing him inside out. This may get your friendship to worsen or become better but who is on the gaining side is YOU! You will know the dirty things of that person which appols you. Losing a good looking friend is primary but the secondary part is is his character and history as good looking as he is? Therefore we have to give our friends our authentic self and not be a wolf under sheeps clothing disguising and hiding your inner beauty. You may think it is not considered an inner beauty but everyone has their own point of view, so, cheating on someone is not better than be yourself. This is because living a lie is worst than your horrible inner self. Just remember that true friends enjoy our company as much as we enjoy theirs. With being yourself, you can be assured that you are loved for yourself rather than someone we are pretending to be. Can you live life with that guilt? Well, I can't.
In contrast to what I have mentioned, being yourself does not mean you have to be a lazy bum or an uninterlectual student. You can be those but these are aims to be targeted not lies. Unless you are acting smart when you are not, for example. Thus, being yourself means not living a lie nor trying to get the most popular bag or be the most popular as being yourself will make you humble and that is what people like about other people.
To conclude, do you fall under the category of being someone your not? If you are, wake up and pay attention. To test for this, you can try testing your limits. This means knowing what are our necessities and not, etc. These are boundaries which we have to set to become ourself. So try this out and after returning to blog again, check whether you have became yourself or not. Haha...
