Be yourself

One of the major lessons that this year has to teach us is how to be more authentic. And, today offers you the opportunity to practice being yourself. That might sound strange but for most of us we were taught to fit in and be more like everyone else. Today, commit to taking small steps toward being more authentic. Speak up about things you normally wouldn’t. Assert yourself. Ask for something you want. You don’t have to transform yourself overnight. Recognize that it’s a process and that having confidence to be uniquely you happens step by step. Today, take the first step and just be yourself because everyone else is already taken.

Just for today, I accept my uniqueness. There is no competition or comparison for we are all different and are meant to be that way. I am special and wonderful. I love myself and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
