Authenticity Leads To Your Destiny

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

I believe that the most important thing is to always believe in your authenticity; believing in your true self. If you do this you will end up where you are destined to be. You can’t get to where you are meant in life without staying true to who you are. I don’t think we can get anywhere in life without waking up every morning and doing what we love because it means something to us.

Not because it means doing something that the beautiful and famous people do. But, because being yourself feels so much better. If you want to look up to famous people then think about how they got there. We see so many successful people who are so unique and considered “one in a million.” But, that’s not because they wanted to be just like the person next to them. They knew who they were and pushed to be the best version of that person. They stayed true to their beliefs and their authenticity. If we live our lives based on the motives and styles based on someone else, we will be living for that person, not ourselves. We can so easily get wrapped up in this and start living a life that isn’t what we truly want or what we are supposed to have. Doing this ultimately comes in-between us and our destiny.

Most people find the concept of staying true to yourself difficult because of the fear of what people will think of you. That’s when you have to remember the good saying by Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” You must learn to only surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are and support what you do. Besides that, there will be some people who aren’t rooting for you, so along with the people who are rooting for you, you must root for yourself.

Some people may not have the same thoughts and actions as you but, that’s what makes you different from everyone else. That’s what makes you your most authentic self. Everyone has their own personality. Everyone has their own self. Everyone has their own destiny.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
