Reveal yourself behind the next person`s shadow!

Have you ever come across a situation where you have lived your life through someone else? Where you have been upstaged by someone else`s talent. Where your spotlight has been stolen. Where you did not let your bright star shine?

Well to be truly honest the only person that stood in your path was YOU!!! Well living your life through someone else is a fear of being yourself. Such a sad story, but who is to blame but nobody but  you. Everyone has their personal issue that is keeping them back from  being awesome. Whether it is fear of  rejection by your peers, a societal no-no, your own insecurities or maybe not loving yourself enough to allow others to love you. Whatever the situation is, you are responsible for all of the above. Considering rejection by your peers is seemingly not having the courage themselves too be true too who they are, thus not giving you the space or the opportunity to be yourself. In this regard it would be a matter of not wanting to stand out but rather to fit in. Honestly you are doing it to yourself. Rejection in its own package can break you, but in the end make you a stronger person than you will ever be. To a great extend we do live in a societal constructed  world, where society provides the basis on how to live life and what is or is not acceptable. In this regard you are defining yourself according to someone else`s norms and  values, thus not allowing to discover the real you. Therefore you are not risking to bend or break the “societal norms” too put  yourself on a personal path of growth. Thus you are your only limiting factor.

There is an old saying that goes “Be yourself is the worst advice you can give to some people”. So what you are weird, random and sometimes stupid, at least you are being true to yourself. To me being yourself is the best advice you could give anyone. Staying true to you is the best way of still staying sane to humanity. How could one expect others to love, respect and accept you as a person if you do not love, respect and accept yourself? Love, respect and accept yourself enough to allow others to accept you.
