Psychologists from all over the world say the same thing - be yourself. Those who underestimate this advice, remain unhappy throughout their lives. You need to listen to your heart and live as it tells you.
It's clear that your heart doesn't speak to you. From a scientific point of view, it is your own consciousness that talks to you. Very often we ourselves try to hide our own goals from ourselves so as not to leave our comfort zone. This way you are only delaying your triumph, your success and pure, true happiness.
Why do we change
With friends we behave relaxed and bold, but we come to work with a sour face and turn into the complete opposite. This suggests that we are controlled by the situation. It is normal that, for example, a judge does not laugh or joke in the courtroom, that a funeral service employee does not tell jokes.
We need to learn to be ourselves when nothing is holding us back. Here's what you need to understand first. There is no need to quit your job, sing loudly on the bus, or break the rules of normal behavior. Look for people and places where you can open up completely.
WE pretend because we don't love ourselves. We don't like our voice, our insecurities, but there can be beautiful notes in everything. Many singers and singers. who hated their voice famous personalities. Consider your shortcomings as originality, then everything will go uphill.
Cons of Pretending
We often behave modestly when we shouldn't. This is how you push people away from you. When you come to your best friend's wedding, you are modest and deliberately try to distance yourself from everyone, although you want to have fun and have a good time. This is fundamentally wrong.
There should NOT be any restraining factors in the form of a wife, husband, or parents. YOU are an adult, so you should understand that only you control your life. They may try to “extinguish” you, but you need to fight routine by any means.
Normal people will see your insincerity, so they will avoid you. Lies, hypocrisy, following stupid rules - all this kills people's interest in communicating with you. Don't wear masks and stop trying to appear to be someone you're not. This is the only way that communication problems will go away. You will find your soulmate, you will find friends. People may fall in love with your mask, but when you take it off for some reason, they will turn away from you.
How to get rid of the craving for pretense is up to you. Most best way- love your flaws. If you don’t have money, then you don’t need to pretend to be rich, showing off other people’s eyes, bragging about purchases and victories. People will be drawn to you if you say: “YES I can’t do anything in this life. I don't care about anything." This is what most of those who achieve nothing think, but not everyone can admit their weakness. If you do this, you will be respected. Some will continue to judge you by saying that you should strive for more, but be prepared for criticism in any situation. There will always be someone who will find a flaw in you and want to teach you about life.
WE are desperately trying to please our parents, our bosses, our significant other's parents, and random people on the street. We are constantly looking for ways to be told: “Well done!” WE forget in this string of days about the most important thing - about ourselves. Dedicate more time to yourself. If someone condemns you for not working enough or not working where you need to, then after you do everything according to the other person’s rules, you may not receive true approval, because the manipulator knows that you are weak-willed and you don't have your own opinion. Remember that even if you oppose the absolute majority, you may be right. One against all is not an indicator of an erroneous opinion.
The worst thing is when a person is self-sufficient, but he is convinced that he must change. In this case, there is a chance to catch severe depression. You are losing yourself, and you may lose the meaning of life forever. If you have doubts about something, you will have to refuse to make a decision. Always remember that a self-sufficient person suffers for a short period of time, but then finds peace, and the one who pretends is permanently unhappy.
Love yourself so that others can love you. This phrase has much more meaning than narrow-minded people think. They think that they will become narcissistic and selfish, but this is not the case. You need to learn to respect your interests and aspirations. Other people, looking at you, will be drawn to you in search of their happiness. You will tell them that they just need to be themselves, get rid of stereotypes and prejudices. They will believe you, and without any reason. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and
My beloved, I am Archeia Faith, I am mercy and compassion, I am the Light and Love of God.
My dears, let's talk to you today about how important it is to be yourself and follow your own personal, individual and priceless path in life.
Being yourself is the most important thing in your life, it is the true experience and path of the soul.
To be yourself is real inner freedom, it is the boundlessness of spiritual manifestation and creativity, a unique “inspired flight” in the vastness of life.
To be yourself is the true value, integrity and Unity of matter and Spirit.
There is not a single identical person on earth, not a single identical soul, but there are unique and priceless creations of God. Each of you has your own important and necessary place in the huge plan of the Creator, your own individual role and purpose.
You are all very necessary and important to this world, my beloved, and among you there are neither the first nor the last. Each of you has enormous creative potential, unique abilities, amazing qualities, and by believing in yourself, in your strengths and capabilities, you can reveal them in yourself.
Everything is inside you, my dears, believe it... Don’t look at the path of other people, at their lives, but pay attention to yourself, how many priceless gifts are hidden within you.
By setting yourself the goal of being like others and living like everyone else, you close off the opportunity for yourself to fully reveal yourself in all your beauty, in all your splendor.
You don’t know how beautiful and unique you are, how priceless and capable... You see the great abilities of others, the great path of others, great life others... but you often forget to see your uniqueness...
And today, my beloved, I ask you to pay attention to yourself, to see your spiritual qualities, your abilities, your gifts... in order to help yourself open up and one day bloom like a magical Divine Flower - to reach the true purpose of your life, to bring great help and support, your true Divine Light and Love...
Take a piece of paper now, my dears, and write on it all the spiritual qualities that you have. Write on a piece of paper all your inner riches of the soul that you have already seen and revealed in yourself.
And now write on a piece of paper all yours creativity , everything that you know how to do best and what you really enjoy.
Then write down on a piece of paper all your subtle feelings that you have revealed in yourself(premonition, intuition, subtle vision, ethereal hearing... subtle feelings and sensations).
All that you wrote down are your gifts today, which you were able to see in yourself, discern, but try it, my dears, there are much more, much more...
And every day, when you look into yourself, into your true essence, improve and open up to meet your soul more and more, showing your true bright qualities, creative and subtle abilities, your list of gifts will increase infinitely.
These new spiritual gifts, like new petals, will transform your Divine Soul every day, and one day it will bloom and illuminate everyone around with its unique, boundless and unconditional Light.
With love to you,
your Archeya Vera.

Laziness is a character trait that each of us has to a greater or lesser extent, so this article is dedicated to all readers without exception.
Self-pity is difficult to notice immediately, from the beginning of its appearance. It penetrates a person’s life very slowly, and it is very difficult to remove it later. And only at the moment when the first alarm bell rings does understanding come. Despite the fact that it appears when the situation already requires an immediate solution. Therefore, it is important to know and understand in advance what self-pity is and how it manifests itself.
10 truths of life that everyone should remember
Perfectionism is the belief that an ideal can and should be achieved. A perfectionist always strives for perfection, whether appearance, work task or environment. In this article we will talk about 5 lessons taught by perfectionism.
No one questions the progress of science in modern world. If you asked our distant and not so distant ancestors about psychological problems, they would simply throw up their hands - they say, what is this? Modern psychology easily juggles definitions: Oedipus complex, excellent student complex, inferiority complex, victim complex... How can you get rid of complexes and various psychological problems, from everything that prevents you from living a harmonious life, from being a strong and free person?
There are often times when excessive nervousness makes it impossible to think and reason sensibly. To protect yourself from unnecessary worries, you need to learn to remain calm in any situation. Some have the innate ability to remain calm in critical moments, while others need experience and time to do this.
Sometimes life teaches us lessons that are difficult to find in manuals and textbooks. Life experience does not depend on what kind of education we have or what kind of scientific dissertation we write.
The author of the world bestseller “The Richest Man in Babylon,” Clayson George, revealed the secrets that anyone who wants to realize their most ambitious plans needs to know. They are the key to success and wealth. According to the author, and it is difficult for us to disagree with him, it is money that is the measure of a person’s success.
Hear yourself. Courage to express yourself. Find yourself.
The scariest, most interesting and most exciting thing in your life is to be yourself (Anya Sklyar)
First of all, you need to learn to perceive yourself as you are. You are the only one, unique, there are no others like you.
The problem is not so much being yourself, but becoming yourself. No one can stop us from being ourselves if we have truly found ourselves.
The desire to be yourself
Jacques Lacan argues that the only thing we should really feel guilty about is the rejection of our desires, “moral cowardice.” The point, of course, is not that any of our whims must be immediately satisfied. And certainly not about criminal tendencies or perversions. He speaks of the vital force that can fill our existence. For example, the thirst to write or draw, which motivates poets and artists to create, despite poverty and hunger. This is our desire to be independent, to choose our own life path, manage our time, be close to those we love - no matter what others think about this.
If I am like everyone else, then who will be like me?
In this society of madmen, among anger and aggression, resentment and misunderstanding...
Stay sunshine.
Then other suns will find you :)

You would understand how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in those moments when you are truly happy.
Alfred Langley.
If you are like everyone else, then why be? Han Xiangzi
You cannot, day after day, act contrary to what you feel without health consequences;
crucify yourself in front of what you don’t like, rejoice in what brings misfortune.
Our nervous system not an empty phrase, not a fiction. She is a physical body made of fibers.
Our soul takes up space and fits into us like teeth in our mouth.
She cannot be raped endlessly with impunity.
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
By adapting to others, you are betraying yourself.
You should do what makes you happy.
Forget about money or other traps that are considered success.
If you're happy working in a village store, work.
You only have one life.
The power is in you! There is no such person in whom there would be less of it than in another; you just need to be aware of it.
It's like air: it's always there, but the inhalation depends on you. Or like electricity: it is ready to use, but installation and operation is up to you. So it is with inner strength: it is here for you, but until you “connect” and ignite it, it is passive.
Believe in what you are doing! Bring warmth.
Freeing the inner child:
You are a miracle! And your life is wonderful!
Every human being is an infinity of miracles.
Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes and shapes;
Ears that hear the flight of a bee and the sound of thunder;
A brain that can weigh a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos;
A heart that beats in the same rhythm as the hearts of all living...
Thich Nan Han
I am me
How to distinguish a true sense of self-worth from a false one? - asked the students of Khoja Nasreddin.
“Imagine a caravan of camels walking through the desert,” Nasreddin suggested. Who do you feel like?
- The first camel! - one of the students exclaimed.
“The tail of the last one,” said the other.
“The merciless sun,” said the third.
“A driver,” said the fourth.
“A dune,” suggested the fifth.
“Allah, who created the desert and the caravan,” said the sixth.
“I am I,” said the seventh student, “and what does camels have to do with it?!”
We often look for love and warmth in others, but all they can give us is a reflection of our own attitude towards ourselves.
Therefore, in order to move forward, we first need to improve the most important of relationships - the relationship with ourselves.
Exercise Who Am I?
This exercise seems quite simple at first glance. Ask yourself: “Who am I?” Let's say you answered: "Woman." Take off this role like a snake takes off its skin. Ask again: “Who am I?” Further answers can be anything: brunette, Muscovite, driver, mother, daughter, sister, employee... The main thing will begin when the answers end, when you realize that you don’t know how to answer this question. Sit in silence and think. At this moment you have a chance to meet your liberated self.
The mission of human life is to know oneself, not to satisfy one's senses. Only those who make self-knowledge can truly reap the benefits of human life, not those who lead a refined human existence. Animals know nothing but sensual pleasures, reduced to the formula: eat, drink and enjoy. But life is given to man in order to achieve self-knowledge and return home, to God.
Srimad-Bhagavatam ---
Walt Disney was fired from the newspaper for lack of ideas, Mendeleev had a C in chemistry, Einstein did not speak until he was four years old, his teacher characterized him as a mentally retarded person. Remember this when you feel like you can't do anything.
I look at the sky and drown in the stars.
I look into the distance and dissolve in time.
I look inside myself and fall through.
I love being myself. This is amazing.
I'll build a world for myself,
I will live in it as I want...
Whatever you do, you do yourself.
Eastern wisdom
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
Some people are born to sit by the river. Some are struck by lightning. Someone has an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some people know a lot about buttons. Some people know Shakespeare. Some mothers. And some are dancing. We are all different, and that's wonderful.
F.S. Fitzgerald
Paulo Coelho
Whenever there is an alternative, choose what makes the cat in your heart purr...
Be yourself - the world worships originals.
I have a large and spreading Tree. It is beautiful and its leaves never fall. This Tree is my inner World. Every person has such a tree, and they all make up a dense and endless forest. But I come exactly to my own. Here I can sit down and think, take a breather after the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and even sleep. A fluffy cat will come to me if I want the company of animals. Or I will leave an unread book at its roots. Or any other thing that I want to hide from everyone except myself.
And just let someone try to break this rule: repaint the leaves green when mine were yellow... bring a dog who will drive away the cat I love, because “dogs are cooler”... take any of my things, because that this is in a “common refrigerator”, and in general, in a “shared apartment”.
No one has the right to demand to change the life of someone else’s Tree, just as you will not tolerate interference in the life of your own. Having disturbed the peace and life of someone’s garden, be prepared for the fact that his gardener will throw you out and close the gate to it.
The greatest thing in the world is to be able to belong to yourself.
Freedom opens up to a person at the moment when he does not care what impression he makes or should make.
That’s for sure: no matter how hard you try, you will never please everyone. Therefore, it is always important to listen to your own heart - to know what is important to you.
The problem is not that we will all die. The problem is that while we are alive they are trying to kill us.
Be yourself
and you will find someone who has been looking for you for a long time.
The hand of the Lord has always led the one who follows his path with Faith in Himself. Paulo Coelho
Don't imitate others. Find yourself and be yourself.
If you want to cry - cry, if you want to scream - scream, if you want to laugh - laugh. Just love - and first of all, love the soul in yourself. Then she will definitely attract a relative... Elchin Safarli. Love from the bottom of the Bosphorus.
A balanced person lives in harmony, peace, joy, health, prosperity; she is not suffering. How more people suffers, the more he has forgotten who he truly is.
There is only one way to succeed - learn to live your own way.
Be yourself. The greatest religion is simply being who you are. Trust Yourself.
You need to listen to the voice of the child you once were and who still exists somewhere inside you. If we listen to the child within us, our eyes will regain their sparkle. If we do not lose touch with this child, our connection with life will not be severed. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The main thing is don’t go astray and don’t give up.
Where you feel love and inspiration, you can't go wrong.
Everything you do should express you, should bear the imprint of your individuality. Then life becomes a constant holiday. Do everything creatively, turn the worst into the best - that's what I call "Art". Live your life, filling every moment and every period with beauty, love, joy.
Freedom is not in many directions.
It is the ability to do the little that your Spirit wants.
In order to hear the heart, you need to calm your thoughts.
Not to think, but to feel, not to evaluate, but to appreciate.
Living means not only changing, but also remaining yourself. Gaston Leroux
With any role comes fatigue. Be real. Be clumsy, inappropriate, awkward, unfashionable and not modern, and delightfully unique at the same time.
Because there is one unconscious approach, one key mistake, one unconscious thought. Here it is: I am not enough. It is followed by another unconscious thought: in order to get everything I need, to fully be myself, I need to play some kind of role. To be more, I need to have more. But you cannot be more than you are, because under your physical and psychological form you are already one with Life, one with Existence. Eckhart Tolle
Sometimes you just need to take a break, get some air and remind yourself who you are and who you want to be.
Be like a lotus that is always pure and blooms even in muddy water.
Heaven is where the flowers of your true Self bloom.
Hell is where your Self is trampled, and something is forced on you.
When you are not afraid to live the way you want, there is little that can upset or frighten you. The only thing that matters is freedom. Freedom to be yourself.
Our problem is that we take ourselves too seriously.
As soon as you go your way,
All the treasures of the world will be revealed to you.
If the Path "has a heart"
You will feel it in your gut.
Those people deserve respect who, regardless of the situation, time and place, remain the same as they really are.
Live your life and let others live theirs.
Let everyone have the freedom to do their own thing.
You are what you are—neither good nor bad, neither “clean” nor “dirty,” neither “light” nor “dark.” You are the receptacle of what you know about good and bad, about “clean” and “dirty,” about “light” and “dark.”
The main thing in life is to grab yours on time :)
YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT WAY!
Confirming that you are on the right path is very simple: your tension will begin to disappear, you will become more and more calm, you will become more and more equanimous, you will find beauty in something that was never thought beautiful before.
The smallest things will become of great importance. The whole world will become more and more mysterious every day; you will become more and more innocent - just like a child chasing a butterfly, or collecting sea pebbles on the shore.
You will feel that life is not a problem, but a gift, like a bliss, like a blessing.
If you are on the right path, there will be more and more evidence of it.
If you are on the wrong path, the opposite will happen.
You are boundless, like the ocean, limitless, like the sky.
The only treasure worth seeking is your own nature.
If you go deep within yourself, a real adventure awaits you.
As soon as your decision, a thoughtful, conscious decision becomes: “No matter what happens, I must find myself, my nature, my essence. I do not intend to lose this, the only opportunity in my life,” - once such a decision is made and your energy flows in this direction, failure becomes impossible. Not a single person has failed along this path. Whoever directs all his energy to inner search, he always finds himself.
There are three things that most people are afraid of - trusting, telling the truth, and being yourself.
Don't be a copy, you are the original.
Who will comprehend his true self,
all the secrets of the Universe will be revealed to him
and the secrets of the Universe.
All the answers are within you.
You know more than what is written in the books.
look within, listen to yourself and trust yourself.
Many do not see that we live in a web of miracles, connected by silver threads of chance and circumstance.
We are born with whirlwinds, fires and comets within us.
People go on trips to marvel at the beauty of high mountains, huge ocean waves, and the bends of long rivers, the sound of the sea surf, the movement of stars in the night sky. But they pass by themselves without any surprise.
When you start doing what you like, the world changes!
If you bring something to the relationship, do it for real. And never, not for a single moment, give up your true Self. And if your true Self is not attractive enough to keep someone in your life, then let them leave. Because those for whom your true Self will be quite attractive will come into your life.... Neale Donald Walsh.
If you follow in other people's footsteps, your traces will not be visible
If we listened to our reason, we would never have love relationship. We would never have had a friendship. We would never do this, because we would be cynical: “Something wrong is happening” or: “She will leave me” or: “I’ve already been burned once, and therefore...” This is stupidity. This way you can miss your whole life. Each time you need to jump off a cliff and grow wings on the way down. Ray Bradbury
It's better to be strange and happy in your own way than to live your life like a limp vegetable. Zach Galifianakis.
What goes away, let it go.
Whatever comes, let it come.
You have nothing and never had anything except yourself.
I have met many people who had no clothes.
But I also came across a lot of clothes that didn’t have people inside them.
Be your own light.
You only need one thing - to be natural,
as natural as your breathing.
Love your life.
Don't live according to any commandments.
Don't live according to other people's ideas.
Don't live the way people demand of you.
Listen to your own heart.
Become silent, listen to the small, weak voice inside you and follow it...
OSHO
When you live in harmony with yourself, you are able to get along with others.
Eastern wisdom -
If there is no one nearby, then it’s time to get to know yourself.
Escaping from yourself is like escaping from heaven. You can build walls, block yourself with a ceiling, but it will remain there just as it was above your head. It’s the same in games with your own soul: you can grow any illusions, break all the mirrors, but your face will still remain the same. Unless a cut appears on him from a stray fragment, and in his eyes there is a fog of escape from reality. How we love to find the complex in what is essentially simple. To run away from yourself, carrying your cruelly and evilly laughing reflection on your tired shoulders, to look for at least some way, going all the way up and down, and with your steps paving a new road, to be offendedly silent when the world is only a couple of words, or to talk endlessly and emptyly when silence is so valuable. And after weighing all the pros and cons, I turn on the music of my soul at full volume and choose life on the verge of dancing. And let tomorrow I make a bunch of mistakes, sin shamelessly, let my heart tremble with horror and delight, let love greedily roar in a predatory leap, let sadness rebel like a hurricane wind in my face... But above my head there will be that sky from which I don’t want run.
Al Quotion
By listening to other people's opinions about you, you can only learn who these people are, but not who you yourself are.
But if you want to know yourself, try to tell about others, and be sure: everything you see in people is a reflection of your true essence.
We all need to give everyone around us the opportunity to be themselves. We should not stop people from marching to the beat of their own music, we should allow them not to be afraid to be with us, remaining themselves. This is unconditional love - the talent to encourage and support the love, passions and dreams of another person, even if you yourself do not share them.
Robin Sharma
You know everything. You always knew everything. But you will go halfway around the world. You will read hundreds of books. You will change dozens of teachers. And only then will you understand that you don’t need to go anywhere, that all the books are about one thing and there is also one teacher and He is inside you...
You must change in yourself what you want to see in a changed world.
You can spend eternity searching for truth and love, understanding and kindness, begging God and people to help you, and all in vain. You must start with yourself. This is an inexorable law. You can't change the reflection without changing the face.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
Imagine this: a patient comes to the doctor and complains of pain. And the doctor answers him: “Okay, I understand everything. Do you know what I'll do? I will prescribe medicine for your neighbor.” “Thank you,” the patient rejoices, “this is exactly what will cure me.” Absurd? But that's how we all behave. It always seems to the sleeper that his life will become much easier if those around him change in one direction or another. You suffer only because you are asleep; and yet you think: “How great it would be if that person became different, if my neighbor, boss, wife suddenly changed.”
We want the people around us to change - then, they say, everything will work out for us. But have you thought about how changes in the character of your husband or wife would benefit you? You will remain as vulnerable as before - and the same idiot; you continue to sleep. If anyone needs to change, it should be you first. And you need treatment too. “I’m fine because everything is fine with the world,” you claim. You are wrong! All is well with the world because all is well with me. That's what the initiates say.
Anthony de Mello
Correct your shortcomings and become like everyone else. If you enhance your strengths, you will be unique.
Eckart von Hirschhausen "Carousel of Happiness"
Get yourself one own opinion. It is difficult to maintain and demanding, but it is worth it.
Remember: if you do what you want yourself, at least one person will be completely satisfied!
By being yourself, you unknowingly inspire others to be themselves.
The whole world is inside a person - outside is only his reflection.
Nothing leads to rapid degradation more than an excessive desire for perfection.
We often face despair that comes from the inability to make a choice or unwillingness to be ourselves; but the deepest despair comes when a person chooses “to not be himself, to be different.” Carl Rogers
We are literally afraid of ourselves - of who we really are. We are afraid of our own light, afraid of our own brilliance, afraid of our own highest potential. We are afraid to stand up, straighten up to our full height and allow our inner light to illuminate the whole world. For the greatest gift always comes with the greatest responsibility. It seems to me that most people don't want to see their talents because they don't want to take responsibility - the responsibility of living a fearless life and making a difference in this world. And because of this they betray their greatness. Robin Sharma
The rose meets its essence in the lily, and the lily in the rose, but they also know and honor their own uniqueness and irreplaceability, their temporary flowering in time and space. Be the essence, and love your bloom. Love your taste, your unique flavor, your special dance that cannot be reproduced by others. Never feel superior or inferior to another blossom, do not seek the destruction of your blossoming.As you forge your own path to the light, never look for someone to blame if others begin to bloom more luxuriantly. Flowering is a delightful, uncontrollable process. Jeff Foster
You know much more than you think, but for some reason you don’t trust your inner knowledge.
The mistake that ninety-nine percent of humanity made was... that people were ashamed to be themselves and lied, impersonating others.
We are all unique. Never ask anyone what is right and what is wrong. Life is an experiment to find out what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes you may do something wrong, but it will give you relevant experience from which you will immediately benefit.
Every action leads to an immediate result. Just be alert and watch. A mature person is one who has observed himself and found what is right and wrong for him; what is good and what is bad. And thanks to the fact that he found it himself, he has enormous authority: even if the whole World says something different, nothing will change for him. He has his own experience to draw on, and that's enough. Osho The only thing you need to know is who you really are. And that's all. Everything else will happen on its own. Meeting yourself is one of the most amazing things.
While you are trying to stay true to yourself, the world around you can put a lot of pressure on you. We all live in a society that is constantly changing, it is important not to forget who we are and remain ourselves. If you are confident in yourself and your own beliefs, it is easier for you to lead a life filled with meaning and giving. On the contrary, if you do not understand own feelings and you have no idea where your boundaries are, those around you will put pressure on you, and this will not end in success. You can choose the hard way or the easy way, decide what your life will be and have the courage to be true to yourself, or take your mind off your thoughts and let outside sources of information determine your outlook on life. If you want to reach your potential, start with yourself. Here are some reasons to be yourself.
The ability to live according to your own values and beliefs
Being yourself means knowing what you believe in and living by your values. If you are not true to yourself, you imitate other people's ways and live by the rules invented by someone else. It all starts with you trying to meet the expectations of others and think like them. When you know your own values and understand why you act the way you do, you live by your own rules and don't have to rely on someone else. This is the only way to feel truly happy. 
Confidence in your individuality
If you have enough self-confidence, you can develop your personality. No matter what happens in your life, you understand who you are. When you feel tired or confused, you always have your personality to help you get back on track. If you don't know what your personality traits are, you can easily go astray and get lost. Understand yourself and use all your strengths to the maximum.
Brave and strong character
It takes a very brave person to go against the crowd. Most people prefer not to stand out because it's easier. It is much easier to follow the path that everyone else is choosing. It is much more difficult to remain true to yourself and demonstrate your individuality. Always remaining yourself is a difficult task that will require courage and inner strength. No matter what happens, you always know how to deal with trouble. Just trust yourself, listen to your own thoughts and don’t be afraid to always do what you personally think is necessary and right. 
Clear boundaries
When you are true to yourself, you know where your boundaries are and know how to set boundaries clearly. When people cross them, you notice it immediately. But if you don't have defined boundaries, people may take this as an advantage and try to control you. Always remain yourself and precisely control the boundaries that you do not want to go beyond, and then no one will influence you. Only you can control your own life! Don't let other people do this, remain yourself in any situation.
Ability to focus
When you are always yourself, it is easier for you to focus on your values and determine the direction of your life. Imagine someone who always lives as others see fit. Do you think such a person has his own purpose in life? No way! Only by staying true to yourself can you understand what goals you want to achieve and how to do it. You can stay motivated and know exactly what direction to go in order to achieve everything you want. This is how you can succeed. By adapting to other people's ideals and rules, you are choosing the wrong road that will not lead you anywhere.
