[Daily Journal] Be The Best Version Of Yourself To Enjoy Life
Living together with others is the harmonization of life, but also at the same time the toughest challenge. The distractions that occur often make us doubt our own abilities, and the worst case is that we can forget what the best version of ourselves is.
Accustomed to depending on the family, it is also dangerous. In the end you may be forced to do what your family likes to please them because you feel dependent on them. Or the general case, the child is forced to follow the wishes of the parents because they are not able to get out of the parent's house.
In Indonesia itself, many parents force their children to be something the parents like, not something the child likes. Parents are too afraid that their children will not be successful if they become what the child wants to be. In fact, the one who lives life is the child himself.
That's why a lot of people fail in the end, because they're not being themselves.
Don't Please Others
They follow other people's wishes, then when others don't want to help, they fail. They think they will get help, but in fact they, we, are living the responsibilities of life alone. Other people can only comment, but will never be involved in your life. So, convince yourself that do something for yourself, not to please others.
The original intention was to be ourselves. When we succeed in becoming who we want to be, we are happy and successful, then it will be easy for us to share with others to please them. But if our initial intention is to please others, will we only get in vain? Other people are never satisfied and will continue to look for your faults which they can comment on. Then, in the end, you fail to make yourself happy because you are busy trying to please others – which they will never be satisfied with.
Take Off Your Mask, Be Yourself
Who said being yourself was easy? No, it will never be easy and will never be a comfortable path for everyone if you are not used to it.
The sooner you can be yourself, the sooner you will realize what you need to do to make your life better. Dig deeper into anything about yourself, especially your strengths that you can do the most and enjoy the most. In this process, do not look or compare yourself to others. You just have to look at the things you like.
Throw away the mask that may have been used to hide your flaws. It's okay that you have flaws, but you accept them. Realize your shortcomings, and find solutions to make you better.
Everyone has flaws, but not everyone is willing to explore what they can do with love. Busy with shortcomings, but forget that inside you there are a lot of good things which if dug deeper and consistently, can lead you to enjoy life.
It's All About Process
The sooner you get yourself out of a distracting environment, the faster you'll start the process of focusing on being yourself.
Consistent process to explore all the best possibilities within you. Never feel hopeless, because you will be fine. Keep on your track, enjoy the process, and it will change your life. :)
I hope you can find what you deserve to find today. Have a great day, good people, HIVE Lovers!

This is such an important message. I just saw a tweet or a fb post the other day that was commenting on how schools focus on our weaknesses instead of our strengths, and it really struck me as so true, and how it messes us up. If you grow up focusing on what you're bad at (for me in school, that was always math), you feel incompetent, like a failure. Instead of being able to focus on things you are good at, and gaining confidence. It can shape how you feel about yourself really profoundly!
So sad about the fact many teachers just see the weakness of the students :(
We really need teachers or parents who see children as free people about choosing their way :)
Yes, I agree! Build children up, not put them down.
The freedom and happiness that come from independence is immeasurable. It is more than 100% perfect. I do not think anything that happens under the pressure of others, on the will of others, is 100% successful. At that time, what happens is what others want, not what they want.
Yeah, under pressure from others never lead us to become successful. Just being under pressure of ourselves :)
Don't force your dreams on your kids :)
Agreed 😊🌸
interesting read!
I hope you enjoyed:)
Yes i did🤗🙌🏾
Hello dear friend @anggreklestari good afternoon

Have a splendid weekend
I only realise 'be yourself' when I get older, I wish I knew it 20 years ago ! 🙂
Today I found what I deserved to find to continue my spiritual growth, thank you @anggreklestari for letting your heart speak.
There was a time in my life that I did not know what to do so my father guided me to study what he wanted, as I did not know where to go I followed his advice I finished the study but I was not happy, I graduated and went back to study something I already wanted.
Today I am happy with some things I have found on my way among them hive, but I still have sad days, thank you.
I hope you can enjoying life now and forget about the past. ❤️
I try every day, bringing out the best version of me.
I know I forgot to tell you that your photos are very nice. 👍☺️
