What makes you, YOU !

How would you describe yourself and is that how people in your life describe you?

Someone I know believes that they are extremely diplomatic, however their body language mainly their facial expression always betrays them.

Similarly, one could believe that they are honest and come across as rude, believe that they are polite and come across as being fake.

How can one avoid this?

Authenticity is key

Do not try to mimic or emulate someone blindly. It is okay to be inspired and learn from your mentors. But blindly trying to be someone that you are not, might not work.

It is important to accept your flaws, all of us have our own quirks and imperfections and they make us unique. Always communicate your honest feelings and don't be afraid of being different.

Trust is to be earned

Do not shy away from being vulnerable. It humanizes you and helps build connections.

Be mindful of non verbal communications.

Silences are good, they can be a tool for thoughtful communication and reflection. Therefore, don't try to fill in every pause.

Remember it's a journey and every instance might either reinforce trust or break it.

Change is the only constant

With time and new experiences we are constantly growing and changing. Don't let someone else decide who you are and how you have to be. Your personality should reflect YOU and not someone else's definition or expectation of you.

When your school friend who has not met you for over 10 years meets you and says that you have changed. There's no reason to be alarmed, unless the change is to the worse ;).

It's beautiful being YOU and there's just one of YOU :)
