I randomly listened to some video online this week, I picked up some catchy words that said ‘Don’t fake it till you make it’ rather ‘Be it, to become it’.
Faking has become a thing nowadays, it’s never a new topic to be discussed, I feel that people have normalized it and it is becoming toxic to the community especially for our generation Z. There is too much pressure to making it in life to a point of people putting themselves in situations that don’t feel right.
Settling for safe is an option, but is it worth it in the long run? Therefore for us to transition into what we want to become, there is a need to love and appreciate yours because at the end of the day its you that matters.
So how do you LOVE YOURS?
1.Accept and appreciate who you are and your background
I mean,the minute you learn to own who you are or where you are from, your gratitude mindset kicks in. Periodttt!!!!
2.Don’t pretend, embody who you want to become.
Instead of faking it, start carrying yourself in high diligence equal to the person you want to become, while doing that you have to put in all the work to be the person you embody.
3.Remind yourself that everything you want comes with a price
Having dreams and aspirations is free,but comes with a price; the price of character, hard work, and discipline.
4.Invest in quality and not quantity
Having that small circle of people who are equally yoked as you is quite important, this prevents you from having to feel like you are out of place or having to fit in. I believe in having few people around who we will help each other tap into our potentials, have fun, live, laugh, and love rather than a multitude of people who don’t add value.
5.Don’t sleep on your level
The journey is yours,own it! Learn,relearn, unlearn but don’t sabotage your dreams and ideas with that imposter syndrome.
As J.cole puts it, “There is no such thing as a life that’s better than yours”.Invest in it
