Authenticity I.
We have the right to be different.
No one can be exactly the same as another person, not even a twin sibling, because the set of characteristics that individualize each person do not allow it. This is why every human being is unique, unrepeatable, and therefore special.
- You are absolutely unique, just like everyone else.
- Be yourself, all the other positions are already filled.
This uniqueness is due both to the peculiarities of the person and to the circumstances and life demands they must face.
- Life is a tough exam; many fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different test.
As inappropriate attitudes towards each person's uniqueness, we find: those who impose on themselves ways of being and acting different from the majority, often in trivial aspects, to make themselves appear authentic or interesting. By pretending to be what they really are not, they risk being ridiculous.
- As long as we think we are authentic because we pretend to be, we will go wrong.
- - He who stands on tiptoe does not stand firm.
Those who do not work on transforming modifiable aspects of themselves that cause dysfunction in their family, work, or social environment, often justifying it by saying, "This is just how I am" or "That's not in me," are hindering their self-improvement.
- The weight of excuses prevents achieving good results.
- Without changing what needs to be changed in you, you will never become the best version of yourself.
Those who, fearing the pressures that always exist against differences, hide aspects of their true essence that they have the right to possess and express, end up being or manifesting what others want, which can lead to great regret in the long run.
- Some trade authenticity for approval.
- If you live for the approval of others, you are dead.
- If you are just one more, you will be one less.
This becomes more complex when individuals hide these essential characteristics from themselves, making it even more difficult to find and coexist with who they truly are.
- Whoever has not found themselves has been hiding from themselves.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
Some inappropriate attitudes towards each person's uniqueness include imposing ways of being and acting that differ from the majority to appear authentic or interesting, which can result in ridicule. Not working on transforming modifiable aspects of oneself that cause dysfunction in one's environment and justifying it with excuses like “this is just how I am” or “that’s not in me,” hinders self-improvement. Another mistake is fearing social pressures against differences and hiding essential aspects of our being, leading to becoming what others want us to be, which can cause great regrets. This is aggravated when individuals hide these essential characteristics from themselves, making it even more difficult to find and coexist with their true selves.
