Just Be Yourself

And LOVE Yourself!

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Accept who YOU are !

“Be yourself;

everyone else

is already taken”.

This is a lovely quote.

To be ‘ourselves’,

we need to accept ourselves

for who we really are.

And LOVE ourselves.

When we are young,

we start by ‘copying’ our parents,

and then through our teenage years,

we start to develop

our own unique personalities.

The difficulty comes

when we compare ourselves to others,

and then we try

to “be” that other person.

But why?

We are just as good as him or her,

and each one of us has

a talent that the other doesn’t have.

So,

accept who you are,

mentally,

and the rest will always follow.

“Just be yourself!”

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
