When we let go of what we think we have to be, we allow ourselves the room to grow into who we actually are.
In our modern world, we have a inclination as human beings to think that we always must seek to be something more. We must be prettier, funnier, richer and everything else in between. But all of these things that we believe that we really have to be stop us from truly expressing who we are deep down. We consistently compare ourselves to others and create false masks for ourselves so others will like us more. Thing is, after a while, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves anyways.
It's a whole lot less complicated, and much more fun in the end, to be completely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to assert that you shouldn't target to enhance your life. However, if you're going to go down the trail of personal development and deepening, you have to actually focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that truly is the only way that viable change happens. When you begin developing for people other than yourself or because someone just told you to do it, you don't really end up believing in what you are doing. Unfortunately, development becomes something that you cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be thankful for what you have at the moment and who you are and should you be looking to take a journey that might change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop as you know that it's the best thing to do and that it will create a better future for yourself.
In the end, if we stay true to our own paths and believe in ourselves, we are truly capable of anything.
