Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our life trying to satisfy other people's demands. We have learned to live by other people's points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.
Don Miguel Ruiz
If you teach people to keep their eyes upon what others think of them, unthinkingly to lead the lives and hold the principles of the majority of their contemporaries, you must discredit in their own eyes the authoritative voices of their own souls. They may be docile citizens; they will never be men and women. It is ours, on the other hand, to disregard this babble and chattering of other people better and worse than we are, and to walk straight before us by what light we have. They may be right; but so, before heaven, are we. They may know; but we know also, and by that knowledge we must stand or fall. There is such a thing as loyalty to one's own better self; and from those who have not that, God help me, how am I to look for loyalty to others?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Your soul is all that you possess. Take it in hand and make something of it!
Martin H. Fischer
What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself--and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Albert Einstein By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before.
