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.

Why Am I Here? Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Ever ask yourself: “Why am I here?” The root of this burning question is often the result of internal feelings of insecurity or self-doubt.

Recognizing that you’re perfect just the way you are, is the first step in understanding why you’re here, and how to shine your light.
