Monday motivation
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.”
-Bruce Lee
This week’s quote is focused around a very important element of our BeSolu mindset: “be yourself.” Sometimes it feels like the easiest option is just to try to fit in with those around you by hiding your individuality. Blending in often feels like a less scary route, but when you hide what makes you unique and try to be someone else, you aren’t able to share the things that make you extraordinary. Being yourself not only sets you on the path that is truly meant for you, it also allows you to share your own individuality and make decisions true to your heart. When someone is truly themself they are able to bring all of their individuality and gifts to whatever they do.
When you see someone who has succeeded at the same things you want to succeed at, you might want to attempt to replicate how they got there by trying to become just like them. Although it’s important to have people to look up to and aspire to, it’s important to bring your truest self with you every step of the way so you can use all your strengths to guide you. Instead of trying to become a copy of those who inspire you, find motivation in their hard work or the dedication that got them to where they are. Notice what makes them unique and how their own strengths have contributed to their progress. It’s vital to remember that your strengths also lie in your uniqueness.
If you learn to be true to yourself, you can fully trust who you are. Being yourself does take a lot of courage and faith, as this quote says. It is not always easy, but being yourself will always take you in the right direction.
Have a wonderful and inspired week!
