We are all born into this world to find our purpose and fulfill our own aspirations. No One Will Care For You Better Than You WillĪnother harsh truth you need to accept is that no one – not even your family members or closest friends – will care about you as much as you do. Take that brave first step into transforming yourself into someone you’d proudly and confidently follow the “just be yourself” advice for. Don’t just settle for the version of yourself that you’ve been comfortable with all your life. Determine who you really want to be and find out how you can become that person. It’s not enough to accept who you are, regardless of what others say – especially if you’re not happy with it. We develop habits as we grow, we didn’t acquire them when we were born. It’s easier to justify flaws and mistakes by convincing yourself those bad qualities will always be in your nature and you’re hardwired to do certain things, but that’s not true. People tend to spend effort and time convincing themselves that they’re perfect just the way they are, flaws and all, than actually doing something about it and stepping out of their comfort zone because it’s easier that way. “I didn’t do what I was supposed to do again! I’m so lazy! Eh, but what can I do? It’s in my nature.”
I’ve always been that way and I can’t change it.” It’s the same mentality that makes miserable and unsuccessful people the way they are. If all you do is accept and not do anything about your bad qualities, you’re passing on the chance to improve yourself and grow as a person. And if you follow this advice, it just means you’re giving up on yourself. You see, there’s a danger in advising people to just be themselves and be accepting for who they are when they aren’t happy with it, or when it’s getting in the way of their growth. But then again, anyone who is confident with themselves won’t be asking for validation. It’s the same thing, all over again: “Just be yourself.” If the person is truly satisfied and happy with who they are, then maybe that will work.
My entire life, I’ve always heard the same advice getting thrown around when someone’s asking for reassurance, whether it’s before a job interview or a first date. You Don’t Have to Accept Yourself For Who You Are Here are five other cold, hard truths you need to accept in order to be a better person and live a better life. Now that we’ve been exposed to the realities of life without anyone protecting us from the truth, we now know that the lessons taught to as us kids don’t exactly apply in real life anymore, like “just be yourself” isn’t a good advice to someone miserable with the way they are, and simply getting good grades throughout middle school and high school isn’t enough to get you into your dream uni or job.
Adult life, on the other hand, is a different story. At the time, with our young, naïve, and hopeful minds, these things made sense and indeed, they were all we needed to survive life as children. As children, we were taught the basic survival guide to life: be yourself, follow the rules, get good grades, be good to other people, and you’ll be good to go.
