86 Don’t Be Yourself

There’s nothing worse than a tough person, trying to be ‘tough’
OR
A nice person, trying to be ‘nice’.
It’s automatic that you are who /what you are.
Trying to be that, even more, becomes too much!
Think of someone who always smiles,
Always scowls,
Always tells jokes,
Always bests you.

Take the person who always smiles.
If they try not to smile at all, and their penchant is to always smile,
then they’ll most likely end up smiling ‘just right’.
Same with the joke teller.
Or negative thinker.
Or positive thinker.
Or, well, if you do anything ‘always’ and think that’s the way you ‘should’ be.
Always.

Whatever you can easily do is the very thing you should strive NOT to do.
Given your bias of already being that way, you end up a more balanced person.

So don’t be yourself and lose a distorted part of your Self Image.
