It is human to want to "fit in" and to to be what we think the world wants us to be. And, sometimes when we try so hard to be someone we’re not, we can lose sight of ourselves. We end up doing things to please other people, resulting in living by their expectations. In the end, we become what they want us to be, which can lead anyone down the wrong path to self-destruction. Today, it is time to set your intentions to express what is in your heart and to begin to live authentically as yourself. No matter how vulnerable or sensitive you feel, when you speak your truth or live an authentic life, you will be liberated.⁠ And to find true happiness we must be true to ourselves, live our own dreams, and be proud of what makes us unique instead of feeling the pressure to follow the crowd. Remember, everyone has their own version of ‘normal,’ and none of us are right or wrong. We should not expect ourselves to all be alike, but rather respect our differences and value our skills despite them being different. When we are comfortable in our own skin, we are not fighting against or with anyone. We are courageous enough to live our own truth. Today, consciously let go of who you think you should be and be who you are. Today, set your intentions to be you and to stop trying to change so people will like you, be yourself and the right people will love you.

Just for today, I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself. I love myself exactly as I am right now. I love myself therefore I attract loving people into my life. I release the need for competition or comparison for we are all different and are meant to be that way. I do my best and enjoy being me. I am enough and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
