The Power of Being Yourself

“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than

you!” ~Dr. Seuss

Being yourself means you like who you are. Being yourself means living life

how you wanted to live it, regardless of other peoples' opinions. And it just

means you respect yourself. When you are yourself, you will understand who

you are, and your self-awareness will increase. This will help you to under-

stand your emotions and thought processes which will help you to become

more matured.

You will develop qualities like empathy, patience, and unending understand-

ing.

When you’re going through a rough time and not feeling great, you won’t

judge yourself or become highly anxious because you’ll know yourself well

enough to understand that you’re just going through a bad phase and will be

able to handle that.

By knowing yourself you will be able to understand your weaknesses and

flaws, and you won’t hesitate to work on them to become a better person,

and also able to acknowledge things that you do not know well enough.
