心灵对话-你的真实自我

 Your own inner truth.

 

你的真实自我。

 

Why worry about what others think of you? Should you have more confidence in their opinions than you do your own?

 

 

Truth be told, how others see you is not nearly as important as how you see yourself. To be happy means to live confidently in your own skin –to be faithful to that which exists within you. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave。

 

 

When you choose to stay true to you, some people might refuse to accept you for who you are.

 

 

Forget them. Rather than being fake and incurring¹ the pain and confusion of trying to be someone you're not, choose to stand strong, even at the risk of incurring ridicule².

 

 

When you are comfortable in your skin, not everyone in this world will like you, and that's perfectly³ OK. You could be the ripest, juiciest apple in the world, and there's going to be at least a few people out there who hate apples。
