One of my favorite quotes is "Be yourself; everyone else is taken." by Oscar Wilde. Happiness comes from within. It is important to live our lives and not compare ourselves to others.
One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to be authentic. When we are authentic we can live our lives to the fullest. We can be honest with ourselves and say what we believe and be who we truly want to be.
In my past, I was afraid to often say things that may have bothered me or speak up for fear of how I may be perceived. In my opinion, it is so important to be confident in ourselves. It's important not to worry so much all the time about how we may appear to others or even worry incessantly about what others may be saying about us behind our back.
By being authentic, we show vulnerability to others and let others see who we really are as people. It's not about doing something just to fit in, but it's about doing what's right. I have learned that it takes depth, honesty, and confidence to be really authentic and because of that, I can honestly say that I am the happiest I have ever been.
