Let's be ourselves
Find your self and be your self
Remember there is no one else on earth like you
I have a letter from Mrs.Edith Alleged,of mount Airy,North Carolina:"As a child ,I was extremely sensitive and shy,"she says in her letter."I was always overweight and my cheeks made me look even fatter than I was.I had an old fashioned mother who thought it was foolish to make clothes looks pretty. She always said :'wide will wear while narrow will tear';and she dressed me accordingly. I never went to parties;never had any fun; and when I went to school,I never joined the other children in out side activities,not even athletics.I was morbidly shy.I felt I was 'different' from everybody else,and entirely undesirable.
"When I grew up, I married a man who was several years my senior. But I didn't change . My in-laws were a poised and self confident family. They were everything I should have been but simply was not. I tried my best to be like them, but I couldn't. Every attempt they made to draw me out of myself only drove me further into my shell . I became nervous and irritable. I avoided all friends . I got so bad I even dreaded the sound of door bell ringing! I was a failure. I knew it; and I was afraid my husband would find it out. So, whenever we were in public, I tried to be gay,and over acted my part . I knew I overacted;and I would be miserable for days afterwards. At last I became so unhappy that I could see no point in prolonging my existence. I began to think of suicide."
What happened to change this unhappy woman's life ? Just a chance remark!
"A chance remark," Mrs.Allerd continued,"transformed my whole life. My mother in-law was talking one day of how she brought her children up,and she said ,'No matter what happened,I always insisted on their being themselves.That remark is what did it! In a flash, I realized I had brought all this misery on my self by trying to fit my self into a pattern to which I did not conform.
I changed overnight! I started being myself. I tried to make a study of my own personality. Tried to find out what I was . I studied my strong points . I learned all I could about colours and styles,and dressed in a way that I felt was becoming to me. I reached out to make friends. I joined an organisation -a small one at first -and was petrified with fright when they put me on a program. But each time I spoke , I gained a little courage. It took a long while - but today I have more happiness than I ever dreamed possible. In rearing my own children, I have always taught them the lesson I had to learn from such bitter experience: No matter what happens ,always be yourself.https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A6bJAd
This is an other story which changed my attitude towards my self. I'm so proud of myself now. I'm glad that I had a chance to read the previous story from 'How to stop worrying any start living' ' by Dale Carnegie, being your self is really easy,rather than trying to copy someone .
Let people love you for who you are because acting Infront of someone is not permanent also you will get caught one day for being unreal ,. Every human has their specific qualities try to figure it out and improve it you don't need to be financially higher to impress someone some times some one Amy impressed by the way you talk ,by the way you dress by the way you smile . Even if no one likes you ,you love your self ,then you will feel I'm enough for me . Your body has designed by god ,being fat ,thing ,dark ,or deaf is his desicion ,love your self for who you are .Try to learn everything you can , improve your talent,show your talent to the world . people will love you for who you are .
Thanks for reading.
