Why do we spend most of our lives transforming into someone we aren't, just to please somebody? What is wrong with just being yourself? Do you even know who you are? I think the most important step in self-awareness is really learning who we are inside. What do we stand for? What do we believe in? How are you going to ever gain anyone's trust, if you are just pretending to be someone else? We need genuine friendships and relationships in order to be truly happy in life. Don't conform to what they want you to be. All those people in your life, who have always told you what and what not to do, or say, were absolutely no help. You say exactly what you feel. You need to learn how to express yourself. You need to let the real you out to play. You need real friends. You need real love. And if you are going to find it....it has to be within yourself first. Be real. Be you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/paula-julson/support
