Sometimes, I hear people use the phrase “Be Yourself” to solely imply to just remain You at everything. Like, being the “best” of You. Something like, “reading books and etc isn’t being yourself”.
I, in fact, heard one saying that going online to learn how things are done is not being yourself. He said you are becoming SOMEBODY ELSE who is not you.
Hehe.
Bullshit!
Wait a second, the YOU that you are craving to maintain is not actually socially fit, he is intellectually weak, morally out of bounds. That you is timid, fearful, and boring. And you are saying you just want to be yourself?
“I’m just me.”
A fool says it is okay being foolish.
Sometimes, the policies that we think we are made of are actually not going to make us productive in life and can as well jeopardize us in the long run.
He sleeps all day, he says it is his nature, he is just being him.
She insults everyone. She says she is just being her, she cannot help it. “I’m wired that way”, she says.
Who did such wiring?
Another says, “being myself is taking Soda every now and then, I can’t help it, not taking it isn’t me”.
But the truth is that this dude being himself is nursing his own demise and the next generation inclusive.
It is over the news that the excessive intake of these things is detrimental to the health and he still sees it as “BE YOURSELF”!
Poverty knocks on the door of the sleeper.
Sad.
What am I saying exactly?
Some have defined the IDEA—Be yourself— and have ignorantly displaced PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Hear me friend, your unimproved personality cannot always get things done the exact way it should be. You may always be a step behind.
Yeah.
You cannot have a low self esteem, and be campaigning BE YOURSELF!
Be what exactly?
Low self esteem isn’t a great lifestyle. You have to snap out of that shit and STOP being that type of You!
Improve.
Some people have been through that YOU and it was not beneficial to them. Learn from them, save the stress and come out great.
Become better.
And this I say on “Be yourself”, it simply is relaxing and getting things done without unnecessary anxiety. However, this does not shut the door against getting helps and adding value to oneself via reasonable [and ethical] means.
You get?
Much love.
