Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken
Shrugging your unique qualities
Have you ever thought of becoming like someone else?
Well, that’s the world we live in today. We’re in a universe where it is tempting to be like someone. But then where did our individuality go?
That’s the question!
Our individuality is what makes us different from each other. Your personality can’t be mine, and mine can’t be yours.

If you want to have your inner peace and sense of focus on your life and personal growth, you must eliminate the desire or pressure of conformity to things that’s not worthwhile.
When those pressuring you makes you feel less like a productive man or woman, you might feel guilty, believing that their instigation is right.
And before you realize it, you’re already denying your self-worth, care, and love just to please them. Which isn’t it.
Imagine trying to be like someone else who’s doing greatly better than you, and find it difficult to be like that person or even closer.
What do you think is gonna happen? Well, if you’re externally pressurized, or blinded by burning…
