Be Yourself
The world is an interesting place.
All around we find people trying to change us. Make us different. Turn us into something that we're not.
William Shakespeare said it best.
He wrote that God has given us a face, and we make ourselves another.
But here's the great parody of life.
Only you truly know who you are - and only you can decide to do it authentically.
Judy Garland said: "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
So, at least for today, heed my advice.
Don't be the poet. Be the poem.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Originality, they say, it a by-product of sincerity.
And so if you can truly open yourself up to being yourself today, to truly claiming your own personality... then wonderful things might just happen.
Quite simply?
Be yourself.

So well said Karl, and I agree!!! There's nothing wrong with dancing to the beat of someone else's drum, just as long as you know the sound of your own....and it is always best to be yourself (as if we had some other choice, only fooling ourselves thinking we do) and never try to be a carbon copy of somebody else.
