Failure To Understand The Term "Be Yourself" Will Negatively Impact Yourself

in #esteem6 years ago
Until now, there are still many of us who misinterpret the term "be yourself". So far almost all of us have argued that it is only used as an acceptance of the advantages and disadvantages of each individual. The argument eventually made everyone who clung to the principle without being accompanied by an effort to correct deficiencies and increase their goodness in a better direction.


Especially for those of you who are very ambitious to be yourself, interpreted the term correctly. Don't let you fail to understand what you mean by "be yourself".

You feel and loudly say "Here I am", "here I am!", "Here I am", often times you say like that while patting your chest without ever looking into your current self.

What if then your understanding like that is refuted by the following question.

"If you just want to be yourself, what you really are, "who're you?" "what like you now?" and "how do you now?"

What is your answer to the question above?

I think "being yourself" without being followed by self-examination and self-improvement is the same as suicide. In the sense that, you have not understood who you really are. It's impossible for those who want to be yourself while you don't really know what your real self is like.


The questions above are also appropriate and appropriate for others who always say "just follow your heart" in making a decision. Do you understand and know, what heart is going to be followed in what conditions? If the heart that will be followed is fulfilled with bad things (negative), then it is certain that the heart will direct you to bad things too, but it will be different for example, if the heart that will be followed is in very good condition, then it will direct you and give you a decision good too.

Indeed, "being yourself" is important and necessary. But in what context and in what extent? That you are an Acehnese, that's you. That you are a Singaporean, Chinese, Italian, English, European, that's you. That your skin is black or white, that's you. That you are a beautiful or handsome person, that's you. That you are a talented person musician, guitar, singing, or acting, that's you. That you are a talented person playing soccer, badminton, that's you. That you are a humorous person and can entertain and make a lot of people happy, that's you. That you are a friendly person, that's you. That you are a smiling person, that's you.

Please note, if you be yourself, and you are fond of lying, it's definitely not you. If being yourself is the one who likes to get drunk, it's definitely not you. If being yourself, and you are stubborn without ever wanting to hear advice, suggestions, and criticism from others, it's definitely not you. If being yourself, and you are a person to like breaking promises, it will obviously be very detrimental to others.

You must know, that in this case, no one can really be himself. Tenyunya there are other factors that influence a person in shaping their behavior and character. Therefore, be careful when you say "want to be yourself", don't let your reason to be yourself is nothing more than a defense of your bad behavior itself all this time.

Become Yourself in the Goodness Is Good

You believe and acknowledge that no human is truly perfect. Well, that's what you should make your foundation and foundation. You have to look inside yourself, where you yourself are now not a perfect person. Don't be stuck with such an argument. Do you not want to try to be a better person?

Please note, if you are yourself not to bring you to goodness, even bring you to evil, then in a context like this, you better be someone else but can bring you towards goodness. You also need to remember, don't be someone else who is boring, in the sense that you have to learn new things for your life and your personality. You can make others as your role models, as long as they are positive and bring you towards goodness and can shape your character much better than before.
