BE ORIGINAL AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!

Warm greetings to everyone on this platform.Hope you are all doing great? It's my first time posting here and it is indeed my pleasure. So I thought to share something little about "being original".

Being Original simply means being yourself and all that encompasses who you really are. Scary right?I mean,being "yourself" in today's world where judgement and ridicule fills the air and falls on to just anybody.

In as much as it can be all comfy blending with many,it can be boring and disturbing not living to your potential. It's your call. What's it gonna be?

Life is way too short to live trying to be anything other than your original self. Be you the best way you can.

However,it takes so much courage to be original. Not doing so can get weighty on you as people would have been responding to a "fake you". So don't you think staying true to yourself is the best option ever from the start when it has to do with relating with others?

So how do I stay original? one might ask.
-First,know yourself(acknowledge your own uniqueness).Don't feel embarrassed by things that make you different. Instead enjoy them.

-Be confident in yourself,present yourself uniquely.

-Don't worry about what others think.

-learn to express yourself by cultivating your own style and personality.

-Work with experienced mentors. Surround yourself with people who do not drag you down.

What do i stand to gain by being original?You can only derive greater personal satisfaction and fulfillment from being yourself. You become even more noticed,interesting and attractive to those around and those who want to stay will stay. Also by staying original,there is room for creativity and risk-taking.

Always be willing to realize the full potential of your unique skills and talent. If you try to be someone else,you will never be happy.Be extremely proud of who you are.

I leave you to ponder on this quote by Steve Jobs:
"Your time is limited;so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of the other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinion drain out your inner voice. And most important,have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become- Everything else is secondary."
