Quotes about being yourself

Every moment, everyday, there is something or other which keeps on bothering us. We are constantly worried about thing and people around us and waste a considerable time figuring it out.

Have we ever wondered why things make us worry so much?

It is because we pressurize ourselves to cope up people around us, we want to achieve things which others have achieved, just to show others we are not left behind.

We start to pressurize ourselves to such an extent that we don’t do things we would like to do, we don’t express our thoughts and opinion what we really think. We try to do and say things which we feel is politically correct so others don’t look down on us for having a different view or rather we don’t want to sound too stupid, so we choose to be in the safe zone by doing what majority of the people would do and say.

We feel insecure and are not confident about ourselves, this is not what few of us are going through, but majority of the people are going through this knowingly or unknowingly and there is little we feel we could do to come out from this social pressures or anxiety.

The best way to come out of this is to first stop bothering about what others think about us, just stop it from this very moment. I know it’s easy to say but difficult to implement, but you can give it a try and slowly you will start feeling the change. Second thing you have to do is be yourself.

Being yourself, doesn’t mean you need to be rude to others and don’t need to ever listen to others. It’s about listening to your inner voice, what you feel about things, to express your view, which you genuinely believe and expressing it without hesitation.

Do listen to others, because a good speaker is first always a good listener. Consider others view as just one of the perspective and not the ultimate truth. Once you start being yourself and do things you always wanted to do and express yourself freely, you will observe a positive change within you, your mind will feel lighter and you will be happy than ever. Here we have collected the best quotes about being yourself, from famous personalities who has given best advice through their quotes to be yourself.
