Let's Celebrate Our Authenticity

The world consists of different kinds of people from different backgrounds and upbringings, it's no surprise that we all think differently from one another. It seems as though some people don't get this concept, this group of people disregards thoughts and ideas of those who are not like them. Even worse, they do everything in their power to make others feel bad about being themselves. I think the one thing that we must never loose in this world, is the essence of being ourselves. We are all special and there are things about us that make us unique, things that no one else has or can take away, our authenticity. One of my mentors once told me to stay away from energy-drainers, he said that I should learn to surround myself with people who inspire me and make me be a better person. And in all truth, the world is filled with energy-drainers..so how do we deal with such people?The way I see it, we just need to make up our minds to be happy regardless of such people, regardless of any external factors. I believe that it is my sole responsibility to make myself happy, and once i'm happy i will inspire others to be happy. The moment we stop comparing ourselves to others will be the moment that we find true and everlasting joy. Imagine the possibilities and accomplishments we can have once we start celebrating who we are. A life free of worry of being rejected and unaccepted,because let's face it...who in the world will accept you if you don't accept yourself!!!!
