Life is only once, insist on being yourself

Being yourself is not an easy thing to do.

By Timothy J CarrierPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

We are surrounded by too many people who give advice, and once the will is not strong, it is easy to be led by the nose.

Although what others say is not without reason, but not what they want, and then the good advice is just an opinion.

Instead of forcing yourself to take the path chosen by others, you should insist on being yourself and doing what you want to do to live a wonderful life of your own.

1. Take the road you want to take

Each of us is an independent individual, but slowly forget ourselves after integrating into society, living as others.

Doing the same old job, getting married and having children at a conventional age, living the life that most people walk through, only to find out later that they are no longer themselves.

What has changed, they do not know, but when the change has become a reality, and they want to start over but found themselves unable to do so, breaking what has become a habit is more difficult than imagined.

Then give up on yourself and continue to go with the flow, taking the right path in the eyes of others? I didn't feel anything when I didn't woke up, but when I did, I realized.

Continuing to live a boring life will only make you lose yourself completely, it is better to be brave and take the path you want to take.

Although the beginning will inevitably suffer a little bit, but as long as the effort to survive, everything will slowly become better, and more difficult things will become simple under the persistence of day after day.

Once the iron pestle into a needle is "impossible" in the eyes of others, but then someone personally practices, with day after day persistence to prove that "nothing is impossible".

As long as you want to do it, dare to take the first step, and persist until the end, then the most difficult problems are not a problem.

Very often, the only thing that prevents you from succeeding is yourself.

2. For the "persistence" to build up strength

The mouth speaks well, but not as good as their practice.

Some people will not do what they say, they talk a lot, but in reality, they do not have any action, they say they are living their lives, rather than mixing their lives, sooner or later they will mix themselves up.

If you have the heart to struggle, then do not just stay in the mouth, take some action to prove yourself.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, the most important thing is to work hard to improve yourself and build up enough strength to deal with the unknown.

Maybe now you have nothing, but as long as you dare to take the first step, and strive to persevere to the end, then the future may be able to go farther.

However, empty a "persistence", as well as prepared in advance.

Prepared life, often goes faster than others.

Other people are still helpless to the sudden appearance of the accident, prepared people have long been one step ahead to the next place.

Do not think that "prepare in advance" is in vain, to know that all efforts, will leave traces, not used at this time, does not mean that in the future.

Make a point of preparation, you will make yourself more than others, more opportunities.

3. Even if you fail, there is still tomorrow

Take the road you want to take, to live out a better version of yourself.

The road taken by the previous people, and then "good" is only others, forcing themselves to go, will only make themselves into "imitation", become unlike themselves.

Even if you do a good job, others will only say "you imitate well" as if the person doing it is not you, but countless "he".

At that time, the self is still considered their own.

It is better to be brave and go your own way, even if you fail, there is no fear, the big deal is to start over.

The road to starting over is more painful and tiring, but better than being foolishly blind.

Many times, if you do not push yourself, you will never know how much potential you have.

You can only live once, continue to "obey", why not be brave enough to be yourself, "rebel" once, to do what you want to do?

Perhaps, people need to have a rebellion to know their true selves and live a wonderful life of their own.
