<\/p>\n

How often have you heard someone telling you to \u201cjust be yourself\u201d? In reality, being ourself in a world that is constantly trying to make us everything but ourself is far from being an easy task. It is a tremendous endeavor!<\/p>\n

Our current society is playing on our insecurity to sell us products that will give us a false sense of belonging. It doesn\u2019t sell us products, it sells us values like freedom, power, fame or beauty.<\/p>\n

However, do these products help you be yourself ? Ins\u2019t being true to yourself the only real freedom and beauty of life?<\/p>\n

My sincere hope is that the following quotes will inspire to truly be yourself, not the person your parents, friends, colleagues or society want you to be. It is not easy, but it is definitely worthy.<\/p>\n

Here are the 20 that will inspire you to be truly yourself:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) Be Yourself, everyone else is already taken. \u2013 Oscar Wilde<\/p>\n

2) I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. – Mahatma Gandhi<\/p>\n

3) I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself. – Rita Mae Brown<\/p>\n

4) If you can\u2019t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? – RuPaul<\/p>\n

5) Fashion is what you adopt when you don\u2019t know who you are. – Quentin Crisp<\/p>\n

6) Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else\u2019s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. – Oscar Wilde<\/p>\n

7) Your time is limited, so don\u2019t waste it living someone else\u2019s life. – Steve Jobs<\/p>\n

8) You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years<\/p>\n

And get pats on the back as you pass<\/p>\n

But your final reward will be heartaches and tears<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve cheated the guy in the glass \u2013 Dale Wimbrow<\/p>\n

9) Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. \u2015 Bernard M. Baruch<\/p>\n

10) Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. \u2015 Marilyn Monroe<\/p>\n

11) If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it. \u2015 Frank Zappa<\/p>\n

12) When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you.\u201d \u2015 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching<\/em><\/p>\n

13) Be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be.\u201d \u2015 Henry David Thoreau<\/p>\n

14) The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.\u201d \u2015 Leo Buscaglia<\/p>\n

15) Let others determine your worth and you’re already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves.\u201d \u2015 Peter V. Brett<\/p>\n

16) Imitation is suicide. \u2015 Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n

17) Strive to become the best version of you instead of the best copy of someone else’s life.\u201d \u2015 Edmond Mbiaka,<\/p>\n

18) Don’t compromise even if it hurts to be yourself. – Toby Keith<\/p>\n

19) I\u2019ve finally stopped running away from myself. Who else is there better to be? – Goldie Hawn<\/p>\n

20) To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. \u2013 E.E. Cummings<\/p>\n
