You Can’t Be Anyone But Yourself

You wasted yourself in comparison, its absurd shame, wanting to be someone you weren’t, because you admired others and criticized yourself. Maybe you were afraid of being unique, you were afraid to stand out from the crowd. You wanted to be like the others, not among the inappropriate. You wanted what other people had, and become everything because of what they were.

Don’t compete with anyone. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You don’t have to go where other people have gone, just to get over your own limitations. Be the best version of yourself!

From a young age, we are taught to be better than anyone else, to find out how unique we are. For we are not all the same, and there is something special in everyone. Have you found it? If you don’t, today you’ll find out how to be yourself and how you can maximize what makes you special.

Don’t compare, just be yourself

Comparing yourself to others is the worst thing you can do. It just takes your focus away from yourself, and you start paying all your attention to the people you compare yourself to. Suddenly, they become the patterns you want to follow, the kind you want to become. But don’t you know that the only pattern you should follow is yourself?

When you compare yourself to these people, it really doesn’t feel good. It’s because you’re far from becoming like them. Maybe you’re blinded by their confidence, how happy they always seem, how quickly they make friends for themselves. When you don’t achieve what they achieve, it feels bad and your self-esteem collapses.

It is normal to dazzle some people with strong personalities. They radiate certainty and convey uniqueness. Stop looking at them and start looking at yourself. Do you feel good about what you are? What would you like to change?

Imagine being ashamed to speak in public in front of people and want to be like your friend who doesn’t seem scared when you get on stage, talk, make mistakes or get criticized… The first thing for your job is to analyze yourself. What are you afraid of? Is what you fear real? Once you have answered these questions, it is time to act. If you don’t like this for yourself, it’s time to act and face the problem.

As you’ve probably figured out, everything here is focused on yourself, no one else. For if you compare yourself to someone who is really good at math, but you yourself are more interested in writing, the comparison is completely useless. Everyone has different abilities; we are not all the same! We are unique and different.

Harness your strengths

Stop thinking and focusing on others for a moment. Comparison only makes you feel bad, so it’s time to find good things about yourself. Even if you think there aren’t any, you just have to take a closer look. Look inside and evaluate everything you have done. There are definitely many things you enjoy that will make you unique.

Imagine again that you are the person who is ashamed to speak in public. Instead of focusing on where everyone else is different from you, focus on where you are good. Maybe the people you admire can’t draw, but they’ve praised you more than once for your drawing skills.

There is certainly something where you stand out, even if you haven’t found it yet. Now is the time. Try new activities related to what you are like. You can’t try something that isn’t natural to you. By that I mean you can’t try to be something you are not. Imagine you are not a logical person, but rather a dreamer. You can’t change it!

It is much more important to get to know yourself than to get to know others. The key to this is accepting yourself, knowing yourself, and recognizing it that will allow you to live to your full potential. Not everyone is good at the same things and stands out for the same reasons. Here authenticity really lives on.

Do you still want to be like others, or do you want to be yourself? The only person you should compare yourself to is yourself, and the only person you should compete with is you. For you are the one who matters, the only person you have to cross and pass every day who should try to be better than yesterday.

I want to be myself. How about you?
