Be This Type of Person If Nothing Else... - Be Yourself and the Rest Will Follow®

I don’t know about you, but when I’m around people with whom I know I can be myself, I feel awesome.

I’m chatty. I’m funny. I’m smiling. (Well, who are we kidding? I’m always smiling, even around those with whom I can’t be myself!)

But, basically, I’m my best self.

Because I know I’m not facing judgment.

I’m just feeling acceptance.

And this is not unique to me.

I know you feel or experience this too when you’re around people who accept you for who you are unconditionally.

It’s a great feeling, right?

I think so. And it’s a feeling I want to spread around – with your help, please.

Oh no, not another New Year’s challenge…

Last week, I challenged you to do something in this next year – to go small.

This week, I want to challenge you to be something.

Something that, in my opinion, is the key to being your best self.

Which is key to creating your best life.

And a better world…

(Psst…we are our best selves when we help others be their best selves!) <– Click to Tweet this!

It’s simple, yet it’s not.

It’s this…

So, are you up for the challenge? Can you be this type of person if nothing else?

If so…

Abandon judgment in favor of acceptance.

Choose patience over instant gratification.

And go out of your way to make everyone you encounter feel comfortable.

Because that’s really what it comes down to…

When people feel comfortable, they feel comfortable being themselves.

So, go above and beyond to make others feel at ease – sometimes all it takes is a smile! (<– Click to Tweet!)

So, take the challenge! And if you’d like to help inspire others to be the type of person that makes everyone feel as if they can be themselves, would you please share this post with them?
