Impress!

Thoughts about being you, who are you trying to impress?

One of my biggest turned off is a person who tries to impress. This person can even be someone you rub elbow on a daily basis. But why? What is this person trying to prove?

Could be …

“People who try too hard to impress others often suffer from low self-esteem. They have a negative self-image and struggle to recognize their own worth. As a result, they constantly seek validation from others to feel good about themselves and rely on external praise to boost their confidence.”

“Don’t live your life trying to impress others. Instead live your life impressing yourself. Love yourself enough to never lower your standards for anyone.”

And these thoughts…

Be honest about being you. Pretense is stressful, expensive, difficult to maintain, and offers no real value.

Take a deep, satisfying, genuine breath of fresh air. Feel how good it feels to be at peace with who you are, with how you are, with all you love and care about.

There will always be those who don’t accept you, or don’t respect you. Let that be their problem, not yours.

Your purpose is not to impress anyone, or to get anyone to like you. Let yourself live and experience each moment in a way that is authentically you.

Go forward, do what you do, unburdened by worries about what others might or might not think. Focus on creating value, on making a difference, in the best way you know how.

Give your love and assistance to others, but don’t let the need to please others compromise who you are. Be authentically you, for that’s what’s in the best interest of everyone.
