When we let go of what we think we have to be, we permit ourselves the room to grow into who we actually are.
In our modern world, we have a inclination as people to think that we always need 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 constantly compare ourselves to others and create false masks for ourselves so others will like us more. Thing is, after a bit, these masks always fall off and people end up seeing us for our true selves no matter what.
It's a ton simpler, and way more fun when you actually do it, to be precisely who you are without any apologies.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't aim to improve your life. However, if you're going to go down the path of personal development and deepening, you have got to actually focus on doing it for yourself. In truth, that truly is the only way that lasting and sustainable change happens. When you begin developing for other people or because someone just told you to do it, you don't actually end up believing in what you are actually doing. Rather, development becomes something that you cross off a list a lifetime journey.
Be grateful for what you have at the moment and who you are and should you be looking to take an expedition that could change you for the better, then develop for yourself. Develop as you know that it's the honest thing to do and that it will make 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.
