Who You Tryin’ To Impress?

I have a problem with always going out of my way not to feel inferior to others. Either I'm buying something I can't afford just to fit in or choosing not to speak up for myself because feeling unheard is the worse. So, I chose to keep to myself. All to impress people that probably don't like me or have my best interest at heart.

Well, I'm not doing that anymore! I'm getting too old to impress people. In the months ahead I'm choosing to really lean into being myself knowing that everything I need is already within me. I only want what's best for me and my family. I'm no longer willing to compromise who I am to pretend to be something I'm not.

And why do things just to get noticed anyway? What's the point? Let your character speak for itself. Let your personality come through. Don't adapt to the energy in the room, influence the energy in the room! When we constantly strive to impress others, we lose touch with who we indeed are. We become mere actors on a stage, performing for an audience that may not even appreciate our efforts, and that's real. The pressure to fit in and meet external expectations stifles our creativity, individuality, and happiness.

We don't need to put up a front for people. Choosing to be yourself unapologetically, is the most empowering decision you can make. Being your true self allows you to attract people who appreciate and love you for who you genuinely are. By living authentically, you create space for meaningful connections and cultivate a true sense of well-being.

So, don't try to impress people, inspire them! Release the burden of trying to keep up with a superficial image. Instead, focus on being the best version of yourself—the version that is true, genuine, and unique. Your quirks, passions, and values are what make you special!

Remember, you are enough just as you are. Embrace who are and the world will embrace you too!
