Have you ever heard the saying Being yourself isnt enough? You must be the best version of yourself. Otherwise Im pretty sure youre not doing this crucial thing every day.
Being the best version of yourself means giving every day your all. It is to be the best version of yourself. Naturally being your best self is not always easy.
Due to insecurity peer pressure and self-consciousness the majority of us are unable to live up to our ideals because they are ingrained too deeply within us. Instead others will overcome this opposition in order to embrace freedom and the authority of choice. Act on your desires rather than your sense of obligation.
Ive lived as a servant in the past only doing what other people told me to do because it was acceptable to many people much bigger than me. I wasnt being my best self at the moment much less myself. I was just going through the motions with no real purpose or direction.
Think of yourself as a slave to whoever chooses to take advantage of you first if you lack either of those. I was very good at following directions almost to the letter and I never tried to stand out or be unique. I am now living my life as I am.
Every day I try to be the best version of myself. A self that no one can simply instruct. a self that is solely under my control.
It is not busy automation that a robot can perform that is important but a self that works. Where no one has gone before I like to go. Whether it is challenging or not I am forced to follow a new path if it is available and appears intriguing enough.
As a hedonist pleasure is my only reason for existing. On occasion however pain may manifest as struggles failure or lost love. I know it will pass eventually.
And when it does pass I have the option of choosing to feel joy once more or to stay cloaked in sadness and sympathy. Discover your identity and make it known. You have to decide what kind of person you are or want to be.
As soon as you realize that you must portray it right away. Imagine yourself in an award-winning film as an actor. The image is titled Your Life.
. When the movie starts who do you want to be? What is the role of your character?
Is he a dull math teacher who follows the rules and never experimented with creativity or is he the kind of teacher who teaches the way he wants to teach inspires his students and is remembered with fondness long after class is over? How does your character behave—is he irrational overly emotional and reactive or does he have a low sense of self-worth and self-esteem? Or does he radiate irrational self-confidence and a certainty of excellence that this world has never seen or is he cool calm and calculating?
It is up to you to determine who your best self can and will be.
However merely wanting to live or be someone else is insufficient.
You wont be your best self unless you begin to act like it.
