Nice question @bunnypuncher, my answer is no, it's the best advice someone can give you. Many people misunderstand what it really means to be yourself, because they don’t have a deep vision of it and they look themselves in the mirror thinking that the person they see is who they really are. In order to find yourself and understand who you really are, you have to look inside you. We all come to this world with a purpose and every each one of us have to find is own one. If you try to be someone else or if you live your life wishing to be someone else you will never be happy and you will never find fulfilment. There are two big mistake that people do: the first one is that many people depend from other people and by doing that they are not in control of their life. The second one is that many of us don’t have self confidence and they compare themselves to others, ending up feeling worthless and lost, thinking they will never achieve success in their life. You are unique and special, in all the different aspect of your personality. It is all about finding who you are and accepting the way you are. Only then you will start to realise that you don’t need to change and you are amazing just the way you are, because you will find your passion and what you are good at so you can follow your purpose and feel happy. An important aspect of life to keep in mind is timing. During your journey you will understand that sometimes you will have to be patient and to trust the process, everything comes to you at right moment.
