Motivating Monday: Be Yourself!

Be Yourself

Be Yourself! Those words are a lot easier said than done, right? We have this constant need to be someone we are not. We have this constant need to look better than we are. We have this constant need to live a life that we “wish” we had. But what if for just one day you could live just being who you are? Do you think you would have any more or any less friends, family or loved ones in your life? Do you think you would have any more or less opportunities for your career, or your schooling, or for your financial status? Do you think you would be any more or any less happy by just being yourself? Think about it.

Now that you’ve given it some thought, think about waking up in the morning and being so extremely grateful that you are alive and you are well. Take a moment while still in bed to think about all the privileges you have right now. Whether you are a stay at home mom raising your children, or you have the job of your dreams, or that you are a budding entrepreneur following your passion, or you are single parent making it work, or you actually dislike your job but happy that you have one, be grateful for your life because it is a privilege to be you.  Be Yourself!

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are — Joseph Campbell

When you go about your day, be grateful that you have as many privileges that you do. Be grateful that you can see all your beautiful surroundings. Be grateful that you can brush your teeth. Be grateful that you can wash your hair. Be grateful that you can make yourself breakfast. Be grateful that you can drive. Be grateful you have the means to feed your family. Be grateful that you have a couch to sit on. Be grateful that you have bed to lie your head on at night. Be grateful that you have a family that loves you. Be grateful that you have choices. Be grateful that you have opinions that can voiced. Be grateful that you are reading this because it is a privilege to be you.  Be Yourself!

Why on Earth would you want to be any one else other than you? Be proud of who you really are. Be proud of what you stand for. Be proud of the person you are. Be proud that there isn’t anyone else on this planet who is just like you. Be proud of your originality. Be proud of your creativity. Be proud of your uniqueness. Be proud that you are different. Be proud that you are free. Be proud because it is a privilege to be you.  Be Yourself!

So, when you out today and every follow, remember that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.  Be Yourself!
