Many find it different to live and act as the person that they really are. Being one's self has become very difficult to achieve today by many due to so many factors which I believe can really be checked or controlled.

So many are under pressure to be who they are not. They want to be like another and they don't mind betraying their person and identity to be like another. We need to understand that everyone is unique and there is a place for each and everyone of us.

Your true person is needed, the identity you're trying to impersonate is not who you're. We ain't even applauded for being No.2. The truth is that No. 1 is usually celebrated above number two. So if you're under some sort of pressure to be like another person, then you might need to reconsider.

Do not loose yourself in a quest to become another. One of the reasons why people easily forget themselves and look unto others is because they don't really know who they are or what they represent and how important and unique God has created them.
I have highlighted few tips below that will help us act and live as who we really are.

Understand Who you are?.

There is really a need for you to answer the cogent question who am I?, it will go a long way in helping you, most especially your mindset. Discovering who you are is key. It helps you know how important and unique you are. It help you know the striking difference between you and the next person.

It also help you discover your area of strenght and how it can be of great benefit to people around. One of the reasons why people want to become another is because they don't know they also posses some peculiar virtues which the people they want to become like don't even have.

But the fact still remains that when you don't take time to discover who you're, you might not be able to live and act like the person that you really are. Your identity matter a lot. It will go a long way in making you be who you really are.

Always Appreciate and love yourself

Appreciating and loving yourself also go a long way in helping you be yourself. Many do not really see the good about themselves. All they see about themselves is their flaws. Is there anyone on earth without one excesses of shortcoming? I guess No.

That is to tell you that whoever you want to be like also has limitations. He only refused to allow his limitation limit him. He does this by ensuring that he focuses on his area of strenght and uniqueness such that the flaws are then overshadowed and are also worked upon continually.

Appreciate your complexion, your body makeup, your little achievement and the likes. Focus on your area of strenght and do not neglect your shortcoming or flaws. You have to work on them as well to become a version of yourself.

Set boundaries when striving to please others

---

In all you do, do not strive to please others. This act in itself can make you lose your identity if care is not taken. Am I saying it not good to do things for people? Capital No.

What I mean is, you might find yourself doing the opposite of what you believe or what you stand for when you start striving to please other by doing their biddings which might negate your personality. Therefore set boundaries and always Let people know who you are and what you stand for.

Be yourself!
