It's so terrifying when you are not who you wish you should be. I believe majority of Nigerians or lets me say Africans would wish they were all born in European Nations or other continent of the world than where they found themselves.
Many of us, myself inclusive do verbalized it and query our creator for allowing us to be born in a country, continent or even the respective families that we were born. With all the challenges we are facing here and there, we prefer to be born in a country that has working government and live with the assurance of brighter future.
But the choice of where we will be birthed isn't in the hand of anyone except the creator who does as He pleases, so where ever you might find yourself, you just have to Be Yourself.
You can not pretend to be someone else or someone else can not pretend to be you, those that tried having multiple personalities failed at the end, so being whom you truly are has lots of gain. Perhaps you might have moment of breakdowns, intense guilt of what you ought to do but nothing is showing forth, you hated yourself for the failures and soaked yourself in tears.
Well it quite understandable because life can't be rosy always there will be moment of both breakdowns and buildup. No matter the phases of life you are experiencing the only Choice that you have is to Be Yourself
Ways To Be Yourself
Love yourself: making yourself the first priority has lots of benefits. Love yourself cause no one can love you as you love yourself. Know that the only person that can love you forever and completely is Yourself, the love from others can fail at anytime.
Never copy others; Some people live their lives based on what others do or say to them, never copy anybody's way of life. By copying another person means you are suppressing your true identity, do what you Love, don't compromise your way of life. Keep doing whatsoever you enjoy doing the most.
Find peace in being alone: There are some people that can't be alone for 30mins, they prefer to be in the company of friends who serve as their dictators. Learn how to be alone so as to think about yourself first and be confident in whom you are.
Be honest: Be honest with yourself and with those you come across in life, being honest attracts the right persons to you. Never lie because once you lie, then you become a slave of lie that keep covering lies with lies and so and so forth.
Never convince anyone that you are worth their friendship; some people felt they will be left out, helpless or isolated when they aren't yielding to their friends ways of living or doing things. Hell no! Try and create your own path and walk through, in due time you will definitely see people learning from you so as to build up themselves
