Being True To Yourself
What does it mean to be true to yourself?
It means being committed to having an accepting, and forgiving mindset, and being open-minded and fair to yourself! More importantly, it means that you will not let others define you, or make decisions for you because they think they know what’s best for you.
It also means not allowing chatter in your head that doesn’t belong there and paying attention to the voice inside that’s listening to your heart because your heart always knows what’s best for you.
Be true to yourself.
