How Can You Be True to Yourself?

Being yourself requires no other rules but to just stay whoever you are, wherever you are, and whenever it is.

If we list down things here that you should do with the purpose of aiming you to be yourself, following them wouldn’t make you yourself, but somebody we want you to be.

Just be natural. You may have limitations now, but opening your mind to further learning can help you improve yourself and may transform you into a better you.

To help you motivate yourself to be just yourself and not like other people, here are some quotations cited by famous people who were definitely themselves, too:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.  -Dr. Seuss

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. - Raymond Hull

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. - Judy Garland

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. - François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? - Fanny Brice

You were born an original. Don't die a copy. - John Mason
