The Power in Being Your Own Person

Updated on March 21, 2024

I share my experiences, my emotions and believe in myself. I am positive, confident and love life.

Confidence

Can you be your own person?

It is never easy to be your very own person in character or in personality.

What do you need to be your own person?

I have become my own person from the changes in my life and grew up through tough experiences, and that happened very quickly.

How do you assess your real being?

Your life belongs to you and improvement must come from within. First allow the following into your life: Find Acceptance and move on with new experiences.

Be happy and confident on any given day. Share conversations to feel good about yourself, and positive. Be a hard worker in your marriage or in friendships.

Face up to challenges and take advantage of your strengths. Learn and never stop learning something new daily. Use your determination to be that great person.

Be motivated in daily activities. Show your confidence without a doubt. Use your positive thoughts to feel good each day.

Use your perfection to show in a project or task. Independence is part of you and is that independent person. To truly be your own person you need to adapt to everything around you. Bring out your feelings, actions, and a sense of direction.

Suck up everything you see, and want, and work it out from there. Be able to think independently. Don’t rely on the opinions, thoughts or decisions of others.

Don't take the responsibility lightly. I found that in myself through the tough experiences from one country to another. You don't have to live outside your culture to be your own person.

Think and act evenly in your thoughts. The character you have shown for everything you really are and from your own person. I know of some people who feel the need to depend on others for their strengths.

Usually, when this occurs such individuals are insecure and feel confused about their lives. They feel the need to hang on and wait for better days.

I don't believe that would work out for me. Such individuals feel there is a missing part in their lives.

Their weaknesses are shown more than their strengths. Lonely people do feel that way in life. The less confident person waits on the opinions of others before taking that leap. They feel pressure in life and choose to have confident people on their side.

Does that work out for you?

No!

To be your person you have to be positive, confident and alive inside to accomplish your goals. Be proud of your deeds. Avoid jealousy, envy and hatred.

I know evil is in most people, but you don't have to carry that around with you. When you choose to live through other people it takes the place of your true being. You are destroying your true being by depending on others.

Depression can take over rapidly if you choose to live unsocialably. Cope with your being truly and positively. Your interests matter more to you than others.

A balanced lifestyle can take you places, and a healthy individual shows a healthy relationship. Communicating becomes easier and everyone is happy. The support from other people allows for interactions and plans to move on with new experiences.

All your encounters prove great when you show a healthy lifestyle.

Are you a unique person?

Do you weigh in evenly in your marriage?

Are you afraid to speak up?

Sometimes traditional lifestyles can cause many issues and these issues are overlooked by such couples. Both partners require free speech.

Dysfunctional families have many problems, and the deeper these families get into their problems, they tend to ignore the real problem.

You don't want to lose your uniqueness through any traditional habits. Traditional marriages show dominance from one partner, mostly from men. This way of life can make one feel down and troubled over time. Control from another can make you feel unhappy.

Think about it!

Is that you who really want to be?

Always being afraid to speak and don't know when it is your turn to speak up, can make you feel down or depressed. To be your own person you need to stand up for yourself.

Take charge and show your true values!

You come from somewhere and have your roots. Be able to fight for your rights in life. Show your personality and be proud of it too. Live in good faith.

When you show your greater values to others, they see you for who you really are. In this way, you will be highly thought of by others.

Observe and gain your being from what you know best. Your decisions, self-control and responsibilities have a greater effect on you.

Think rationally!

Use your thinking caps widely. You are open to all discussions and like to know the opinions of others. Though, you don't depend on the opinions of other individuals.

An open mind allows you to be aware of your events. Opportunities can go by fast, so make the attempt to finish up a project.

Being able to control your emotions, depression, anxiety, guilt, phobias, irrational feelings, or any other aspect that you know can take over your life easily.

When you prove to yourself you can handle situations, your own person comes up easily. The power in you comes to light with a natural feeling. You know when it is the right time to move on from negative experiences.

Certain behaviours can over-power the mind.

Such as:

  • The use of drugs.
  • The psychotic behaviours.
  • Mediation.
  • Alcohol.
  • And other addictions.
  • Daunting challenges can bring you down.
  • You can fall apart easily if you let any substance take over your mind.
  • Mentally, psychologically, physically, socially and personally, all can take you apart and bring you together.

Are you the kind of person who fails in decision-making?

The decisions you make can affect you and others if not carefully thought of.

Sometimes hasty decisions can be good or bad.

Are you lazy in attempting daily activities?

Individuals need to build willpower to be independent people.

An example:

Some people don't have the willpower to give up smoking. I had and have the willpower to move on in a foreign country. With self-confidence, you don't need anyone to tell you, how, who, what and where.

There is no need to prove to others of your achievements or abilities. When you accept who you are these actions are not required of you. Learning from your mistakes shows that you have created a positive life.

Don't self-devalue and self-defeat that brings misery to your life. The way to go is to avoid hanging on the shoulders of others.

You have your own mind so think and do for yourself!

Pleasing others is not a happy life for you. Confiding in others for what went wrong in the workplace is not always the way to go in life. Life is a roller coaster it all depends on how you choose to handle the ride ahead.

You learn from all mistakes freely on your own, and you want to be your own person, not another person. As frustrating as certain cases can be your personal happiness should come from within.

Do you like trying new adventures?

Do you depend on others for new ideas?

  • I believe in myself.
  • People are not the same wherever you are.
  • Life, in general, is challenging and different for every person.

Do you rely on others to tell you what to do, what to say, or to tell you how to feel?

Do you live through others?

Do you cave in when a group is?

Do you keep to yourself and avoid a social life?

Are you lost in yourself?

Do you play your role at home and forget the real you?

Do you feel like an ornament in your relationship?

Do you obsess about situations?

Do you believe that medication can clear your mind?

Are you side-tracked by your decisions?

Do you feel less worthy of your thoughts?

Do you wait for the approval of others to validate your self-worth?

Are you afraid of life?

Once you have identified the above questions you will find your person. One step further into reality. Your happiness is important and becoming your person will gradually show in yourself.
