Be Authentic: Why it’s Important to Be
Yourself in 2018?
Why is it
important to remain Authentic? Well for one it’s easier to be you then it is
pretending to be someone else. When you are trying to be something you aren’t
you are only hurting yourself in the long run. In my opinion, being authentic
means you are straying away from what the mass is doing and creating your own
wave. Advertising, mass-media, Hollywood and the big corporations which control
these things are persistently attaching us with Unrealistic, unattainable, and unhealthy ideals
of what it means to be normal and successful.
So what’s the Problem?
Well, one of the major problems is that
these ideals don’t just affect our spending habits, they affect our attitudes,
social interactions, and our perceptions of ‘who we are’ and ‘where we should
be’ in life.
The Pressure to be someone other than ourselves…
You’ve
heard say this over and over again, how important it is to stay true to
yourself. Well look at it this way. On a planet with over 7 billion people and
a job market that doesn’t give a damn about your college diploma, what’s going
to make you stand out and above the rest of the world? Authenticity! Of course it’s not all that matters, but it’s
a big part. I mean why wouldn’t you want to be you? Being yourself comes with
the added benefit of feeling really good about yourself. Hi Integrity!
It’s much Easier being
Yourself…
When we
don’t have to worry about thinking about how we are acting, what we are
wearing, or what others think, we find life is a lot easier. Life is meant to
be enjoyed, experienced and not difficult. When I was younger I found it so
hard relating to my peers because everyone followed each other, walked in the
same lines, and aspired the same dreams. I always found myself alone because I didn’t
think that way, and that’s okay. Being authentic sometimes requires you to be
raw, real, and unapologetic. Make sure that you are living your best life for
you and not for other people.
