Being true to ourselves! How many of us can
honestly claim this about ourselves? This in current times is the singularly
hardest thing to do. Because the consequences of this we humans cannot take.
We are constantly saying and doing things
for the wrong reasons either to be accepted. Or not be isolated or for being
popular. Could we ever have the courage to be true to ourselves? Yes, it
requires lots of courage, to be different. To stand out among a group that
encourages herd mentality. To face even dislike, criticism, ostracisation even,
if I were to state extremities.
If I feel something, can I say it? If I am
being compelled to be someone else, would I refuse? Be ABLE to refuse? Would I
risk the wrath of the people who give me my identity?
Yes, it does take a large amount of courage
and a large slice of confidence to go it alone, for it sometimes would mean the
falling away of many who aren't able to do the same and would therefore, not feel
too good about themselves if they were in your company.
But, be true to yourself anyway.
