“I’ve never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I’ve always wanted to stay true to myself, and I’ve managed to do that. People have to accept that.” – Jay-Z

We’re all different. We’re all unique. We all have different goals. We have different upbringings. We’re all our own person. Stay true to that person.

You don’t have to change because of peer pressure. You don’t have to conform. You don’t have to listen to what other people think of you. You can be you.

What people think of you doesn’t matter.

Take a step back and think about why we care what other people think of us.

As humans, we all want to be liked. We try to connect with everyone we meet. We don’t want to be hated. So we change ourselves to try to appease everyone.

That doesn’t work.

You can be open to other views and beliefs but don’t go against your core beliefs.

Don’t change who you are to make people like you.

If you believe you can accomplish anything you want stick to that. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you meet someone and sir core beliefs don’t match your beliefs then why does it matter what they think?

They have different views on life. That’s completely fine. They can be who they want and you can be who you want. You wot connect with everyone you meet.

Don’t change because you think you’ll be more likable. Be yourself and you’ll naturally attract people like yourself.

That’s the key to attracting like-minded individuals – being yourself.
