Now I’m sure everyone has heard or came across this quote before!

And something I’m very sure about too is, not really a lot of people have taken time to think what is behind these words, and how to live by them!

Be You the World Will Adjust! Huh I wish I understood this well as much as I do today! And see? I wish I had spent all my past years of life living by them cause guess what! These are just not words they are more of a reminder.

A reminder that we, does not count as I with everyone that surrounds me! A reminder that I myself should never struggle every day of my life trying to gain acceptance or trying to fit in other people’s expectations.

The society around us has become very cruel and it’s no lie we have or maybe still face situations that put us in positions that require us to sacrifice our happiness by giving up on what we love to do what makes others happy. Sometimes trying to seek acceptance.

For example, remember those high school days! There was always this group of popular students that everyone really admired or looked upon as famous and classy.

Students that everyone wanted to be part of! And since one would want to be part of them they would make you do what they want and sometimes you would take them to the cafeteria as if you were buying their friendship!

Well, that’s just a quick scenario that came into my mind as I thought about this whole thing! It is so sad that living by seeking approval has made some of us sacrifice so much of our own happiness.

At the end we would even be humiliated in front of everyone, and spend a lot of time crying over things we put ourselves into!

Surprisingly this is not only about friendships or being like others! We might sometimes be living every day not knowing we built our lives on others to the extent we wait until they approve that what we are going to do is right or wrong before doing it.

It is such a shame that the society around us sometimes even make us give up on the dreams we’ve been holding on instead of helping us become better and reach our dreams.

But we will not spend most of our precious time trying to educate society how they should treat us.

We should rather spend time learning from past experiences and take measures that limit society to take advantage of our innocence.

We should not give them no other option but accepting us for who we are and what we believe in.

It becomes so easy once you understand your worth well, and remind yourself everyday that you do not need anyone to determine how much you can offer.

If you become aware of what you do and how much they mean to you, that will make sense enough than looking around for who is not pleased. Another important tip is, practicing a lot of Self Confidence.

Sometimes it becomes so hard to trust ourselves not because we neglect what we do or how do them but because we lack confidence and Self Esteem in ourselves.

It is okay to care about other people’s opinions but yoo😂 we owe no one the excuse of doing what makes us happy!

We should always remember that! And it is okay to struggle finding our way to becoming less dependent to others and more independent. Taking steps towards that becomes even more exciting!
