You really cannot please anyone. You are only going to get exhausted and burnt out in the process. Yet, in a world where everyone wants to get a piece of you, it is very difficult to say no to a lot of things. But at the end of the day, what does it do to your self-esteem and personality? We tend to dress, talk and pursue our goals based on what is the conventional and what is termed to be the “popular opinion.” And thus we miss out on doing the one thing that makes us unique. We have to live and give ourselves that treatment we deserve and ignore all that noise that is trying to take that piece of us. If we could shut the world out and listen to our innermost voice, imagine the possibilities of steering ourselves to the goals we so cherish. We can be happy and discover ourselves. Besides we will be more valuable to the world around us. Here are 30 quotes that will give us the inspiration to satisfactorily embrace ourselves.
