'I am what I am' - Five words that are very simple. I mean it takes just two seconds to say them, right? What can be simpler? But these are at the same time the most difficult words to say.
How so?
When it comes to saying these words with conviction, from the depth of your heart, these are the most difficult words. Also it is easier to say these words to the world. But to do so with conviction, you first have to say these words to yourself from the depth of the heart.
Basically, it is all about self-awareness followed by self-acceptance. To say these words with complete conviction AND to believe in them AND to live by them; that is the real challenge.
Be open to feedback, improve yourself and always strive to be a better person but first and last, know yourself as what you basically are (at the core) and accept yourself without being apologetic. There is a difference between improving yourself and molding yourself into what you are not to please the people who do not matter. Understanding this difference is all a matter of common sense.
Know yourself and then accept yourself. It takes a lot of work and time to do so. It also involves struggles and sacrifices but in the end, it is all worth it. You may have to let go of a lot of friends and a lot of benefits but in the end you will find the best friend and the best thing - YOUR OWN TRUE SELF, unhindered and uninhibited with all the unique gifts that only you have.
Every single one of you is an ocean of talent and blessings that is unique to you and only to you. But it takes work to realize these things. Like a butterfly coming out of it's pupa that has to struggle. It is a struggle that makes it strong. It emerges and says to the world, "I am what I am".
Your struggle at self-awareness and self-acceptance is the first step to your emergence from the pupa of other people's expectations. Emerge and say to the world, "I am what I am".
