Just be you

It’s a waste of your effort to try and second guess what people want you to be like. Just be you, just be true.

Some people will not respond positively to the way you are. That’s a good thing to find out early so you can move on from them.

Fortunately, there are plenty of people who will value your authenticity. You’ll discover who they are by being who you truly are.

Do seek to listen, to understand, to respond in a generous manner. Do be open to changing your perceptions, opinions, and behaviors when that’s what you sincerely believe is called for.

But avoid putting forth a fraudulent facade. Because that’s not going to do anybody any good.

Point all your energy in a genuine direction. You can do a lot of good for a lot of people, and for yourself, by being you.

— Ralph Marston
