Be yourself!

This is the best and only person

You can really be.

Don’t take away from your uniqueness

By trying to change it.

Being yourself leads to success;

Trying to be someone you are not, to failure.

Use your time and energy

To make the most of who you are;

To build yourself up,

Not to tear yourself down.



Be yourself!

Care about and consider the feelings

Of those closest to you,

But don’t allow others

To tell you how to think, feel, be, or live.

Only you have the right

To make these important decisions.

If others reject you,

Don’t be hard on yourself.

Their rejection has nothing to do

With who you are;

It has to do with who they are.



Be yourself!

Accept yourself as being imperfect,

But not unlovable,

For your strengths far exceed any weakness.

Embrace the goodness in you;

There is more there than you acknowledge.

You are a part of the universe,

Not by accident

But by design.

You have a special place and purpose.

Trust in it.

There’s a star in the sky

With your name on it.

Claim that star and let it shine……..
