This is probably one out of fifty mottos I live by everyday. This statement is so encouraging to you and the people around you. What is the point of trying so hard just to fit in with the "cool" crowd, or the "popular" ones, or the "brains" of campus, or even the "well-dressed" people around you. How hard is it to accept the fact you are who you are and love it. Why would you do so much just to "fit in" with the people you think that is cool and all you're doing is making yourself look bad. Its no point for that. Just be yourself. Don't be who people want you to be. Accept the fact you are who you are and if your "friends" don't like you for it, they really aren't your friends. Find someone else who likes you for who you are, that you can trust and be yourself around all the time.
According to this article, it gives people 5 inspirational success lessons on a guide to success. And one of those lessons talks about repairing your character. To repair your character you have to monitor your thoughts that determines your feelings, which your feelings determine your actions, and your actions determine your character. "Mouth-full." If you watch your thoughts, feelings, and your actions; you would never have to worry about hurting other people or what people think of you because you are who you are. But, just be aware of your surroundings and the way you present yourself because you never know exactly who is watching your every move.
If you want to fit in with the crowd these days, all you are really doing is crushing the real you on the inside and just trying to fake it so you can make it. You don't need to go through all that unneccesary things and changes just for people to accept you. People can accept you for who YOU are on the inside and out. If you can't deal with that, you need to make some adjustments in your life. If its your weight, you can change it, your hair color, you can change it, your apparel, you can change it. Just make sure you aren't changing your appearance for someone or your "friends." If you are doing that for someone make sure they aren't forcing you to do things that you don't want to do. Put your foot down and say, "I respect myself enough not to do those things to myself and my body." If you are going to lose a friend for it; that is going to be a risk you are willing to take. Just be you and be happy about it. Love yourself the way you want to be treated and keep your held up high so no one can knock you down to make you feel insecure about yourself or the way you look. Just take it like a compliment but build yourself around the criticism and even stronger than before.
