Be, You.

     Being yourself is something always a motivator and society talks about it a lot recently. This is good but, is it really what it is literally? Being yourself is a process for everyone because as long as you breathe, you are still on the road with an endless journey. Here are some things that I think what is being yourself.

    First of all, being yourself does not mean that you just have to stay still as it is. For example, if you have a bad habit such as binge eating or being judgy towards others, you may need to fix it for yourself. As I said in the introduction, being yourself is a process and as a human, we can always learn. It may be hard to discard those bad habits that we feel it is a part of us, our main essence or perhaps charms. Yet, why should we stay with things that will give a bad impact on our life? There are some things that we have to change in order to be ourselves.

    Other than that, we have to find a good ally. A good friend is not someone who always supports you from behind. To me, a good friend is someone who always being honest with you even though he or she knows you may not like it. This is because a good friend is an advisor who always wants the best out of you. As students, our life and time are spent more with friends instead of a family members. Thus, having a good friend is very crucial. Good friends will shape you to the best without changing yourself. They will advise you though they know you will reject it at that time and always be with you at your lowest point. They will never give up on you even though you are about to give up yourself. Their trust in you may be bigger than your trust in yourself. This is because, there are some qualities that we do not even realise and never believe we have, yet others may see the potential in you.

    Lastly, do it and let go. There are a lot of decisions that we have to make throughout our life and some of the options may seem out of your comfort zone yet your heart is aching to try them out. Thus, if it does not give harm you, probably you should just try it out. Being out of your comfort zone will somehow push you to move forward. Yes, it might be hard but you do not really know unless you try it yourself. Give it a try, work for it, and let go. Letting go and let Allah make the decision for you. Even if you lose, you lose with dignity and if you win, you win with the effort that you give throughout the process of being a champion.

    In the nutshell, do not stop yourself from growing in the name of being yourself. Life is a process and a human is not a robot that can change behaviour by clicking on certain buttons. Never stop to build yourself. You may face the lowest point of your life and feels like a failure, but do not stop. No one can stop you unless you put the dot on yourself.
