2015: Resolve to Be Yourself

One thing many human beings have in common in this world are challenges to live up to other people's expectations.  Sometimes we are willing participants in creating those expectations and sometimes we are not.  Consider celebrities or political figures or being born into a family, whether they are poor or royalty, or marrying into one, for better or worse.  Maybe it's a job that appeared to be something it was not.  On the contrary, perhaps the employee appeared to be someone he or she was not.

Could it be that many of the world's problems are caused by people not being able to be themselves?  When someone can't be themselves or feels they need to behave a certain way to appease someone, it can lead to deceit and trickery, hiding and lying and contribute to copious amounts of unnecessary drama in the world.  It doesn't have to be handled that way, but oftentimes it is.

If you don't want to wear deer antlers, don't do it.

I am wishing all of you a year of being comfortable in your own skin and being happy to be who you are!
