Be You

Be You
Stop trying to be someone other than who you are. You are you for a purpose! You think the way you do, laugh the way you do, react the way you do all for a reason - it's what makes you, well you! It takes a lot to of energy to not be who you authentically are so stop trying so hard and just embrace yourself. Stop comparing yourself to your friends, to family members, to your neighbors, to others on Facebook or even to your co-workers. The world needs you to show up as yourself every single day. You have so much to give but you can only do that by being the real you. You know the one. The you that laughs at inappropriate moments. The you that cries at touching commercials. The you that loves science fiction movies. The you that wears white after labor day. The you that watches the OWN network. The you that lacks a filter at a staff meeting. The you that breaks out into song every 5 minutes. The you that people stop in a random store to ask for advice. The you that dances in the living room in your pajamas at 8am. The you that spends your free time visiting dogs at the shelter. The you that doesn't believe in the word no. The you that orders out for dinner. The you that takes a short cut during a 5K fun run. The you that arrives late to a time management workshop. The you that watches shows in marathon form. You know this person, right?

We are meant to be different. 
     Embrace it. 
          Enjoy it. 
              Celebrate it. 
Now go on and just keep on being you!
