Be Yourself

After being at a conference this weekend, I simply wanted to share one thing that stood out to me at a workshop, which is to be yourself ! As students there is so much pressure to fit in, but its so much more appealing to just be yourself despite what anyone else believes. In being yourself you will achieve much more, and break boundaries you didn’t even know were possible! With that being said I wanted to share a poem, and allow you all to think about it ...

Be Yourself

by Ellen Bailey

Why would you want to be someone else When you could be better by being yourself Why pretend to be someone you are not When you have something they haven't got Cheating yourself of the life you have to live Deprives others of that only which you can give You have much more to offer by being just you Than walking around in someone else's shoes Trying to live the life of another is a mistake It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake Be yourself and let your qualities show through Others will love you more for being
