STOP PROVING YOURSELF TO OTHERS

You are GOOD enough, SMART enough, FINE enough, and STRONG enough. You don’t need other people to validate you; you are already VALUABLE.

Sometimes we try to show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we can’t please everyone and we shouldn’t try. The beauty of us lies in our vulnerability, our complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections. When we embrace who we are and decide to be authentic, instead of whom we think others want us to be, we open ourselves up to real relationships, real happiness, and real success.In the world today, people are faced with having to prove themselves to others. They are stuck knowing that by their flaws and mistakes, the world is just ready to put them on a shelf just like everyone else.

There is no need to put on a mask. There is no need to pretend to be someone you’re not. If you’re satisfied with what you are, you are doing well. We may feel the need to be better, thinner, smarter, earn more and many other things that we have been conditioned to believed will sort out our life. One person’s happiness may seem wild or very little to another person. We are individuals are we all have different needs, requirements and minds. Think about your idea of success, health and happiness and let these guide your life, not what others might believe is better. Following are some reasons why the only person you should prove is you.

• The people worth impressing just want you to be yourself. In the long run, it’s better to be loathed for who you are than loved for who you are not. In fact, the only relationships that work well in the long run are the ones that make you a better person without changing you into someone other than yourself, and without preventing you from outgrowing the person you used to be. Ignore the comparisons and expectations knocking at your door. The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
• No one else really knows what’s best for YOU. Don’t lose yourself in your search for acceptance by others. Walk your path confidently and don’t expect anyone else to understand your journey, especially if they have not been exactly where you are going. You have to take the steps that are right for you; no one else walks in your shoes. Let others take you as you are, or not at all.
• Society’s materialistic measurement of worth is worthless.When you find yourself trapped between what moves you and what society tells you is right for you, always travel the route that makes you feel alive – unless you want everyone to be happy, except you. No matter where life takes you, big cities or small towns, you will inevitably come across others who think they know what’s best for you – people who think they’re better than you – people who think happiness, success and beauty mean the same things to everyone.
• Life isn’t a race; you have nothing to prove. Everyone wants to get to the top of the mountain first and shout, "Look at me! Look at me!" But the truth is, all your happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing, not while you’re sitting at the top. Enjoy the journey by paying attention to each step. Don’t rush through your life and miss it. Forget where everyone else is in relation to you. This isn’t a race. You get there a little at a time, not all at once.
Let go of the foolish need to prove yourself to everyone else, and you’ll free yourself to accomplish what matters most to you. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you don’t have to always be and do what everyone else is being and doing.
