Challenge yourself to step out of the norm (12:05-13:49)


I’m not good enough, and I have never ever been good enough. And I realized that
the hardest person to forgive on this earth is not someone who betrayed you, and
not a friend who wasn’t there for you when you need the most, is not your ex-
boyfriend who broke your heart to pieces, the hardest person to forgive on this
earth is myself. And then my best friend told me to stop doing what I have been
doing so far, which is pleasing every single one. And he said, “Just be yourself.”
That three words. I know, we listen to this phrase all the time, “Just be yourself.” I
mean, when I’m having a shower, just be yourself, when I’m eating, just be
yourself, when I’m on the stage, just be yourself, when I’m talking to you, just be
yourself. Just be yourself. Just three words but we hear all the time, and we’re
getting tired of it. But it’s the use of the word “just” that really surprises me
because when we use the word “just,” it means that it is something very easy to do.
Then, why just being myself is still the hardest thing for me to do? Why? I didn’t
know. And after talking to my therapist, after learning more about meditation,
about my inner peace, listening more to my inner voice, I realized that my true-self
is actually being covered up with a thinking and with a perception which is based
on fear. My true-self is who I really am, when I let go of all those stories, of all the
judgments that I myself place on me.
