When you stop being afraid of being yourself, your internal and external reality<\/a> transforms.<\/p>\n When you stop being afraid of being yourself, you stop trying to hide aspects of yourself for which you feel irrational shame. You accept yourself as a unique individual, who has the same right as anyone else to exist.<\/p>\n You forgive yourself the mistakes and blunders you\u2019ve made on the road to becoming who you are. Similarly, you stop feeling guilty for things that were beyond your control.<\/p>\n When you start feeling the freedom<\/a>\u00a0and joy that being yourself can give you in life, you\u2019ll not feel the need to go back to caring what other people think of you.<\/p>\n Once you are truly being yourself, you\u2019ll no longer feel prisoner to other people\u2019s judgments of you. You\u2019ll be comfortable with how you\u2019re living your life, so other people\u2019s opinions won\u2019t matter to you anymore.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve cracked being yourself, you\u2019ll start feeling the freedom to assert your own desires on the world around you. In this way, you\u2019ll start manifesting your own vision in the external world.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve experienced the freedom to assert yourself and the overall good that asserting yourself can bring for others too, you\u2019ll feel like an active participant in your own destiny<\/a>.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re not being yourself, it stands to reason that you don\u2019t meet people who are compatible<\/a>\u00a0with your true personality.<\/p>\n Once you start, you\u2019ll start aligning your life with your desires. You might start a hobby that helps you express the real you, and meet like-minded people. Once you start living in accordance with your true desires, it\u2019s logical that you\u2019ll start attracting people who are compatible with your true self.<\/p>\n Once you start being yourself, you\u2019ll start to understand the value of your unique contribution, and you\u2019ll cease to sell yourself short.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll recognize what your priorities are in life<\/strong> and take the risks you need to in order to make your external reality match your internal truth. You\u2019ll weed out anyone who is treating you badly\u00a0since you\u2019ll no longer feel the need to have people in your life who make your life less pleasant than it needs to be.<\/p>\n When you feel confident in being yourself, you\u2019ll start to play an active role in your destiny. Only when you are not afraid to be yourself anymore will you feel what it\u2019s like to really take control of your life<\/strong>. You\u2019ll start directing things rather than being directed.<\/p>\n When you start to behave in a way that is honest, your actions will become more spontaneous<\/strong> and will cause you less anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n Notice how an animal doesn\u2019t focus its attention on trying to be anything other than what it is. Its decisions, as a result, are spontaneous.<\/p>\n You start to recognize where you end and others begin and you begin to define the territory that you have cordoned off as belonging to your space.<\/p>\n Thus, you don’t let others encroach upon it and this improves relationships for both parties. You know what your sphere of activity is and respect the boundaries of other people also.<\/p>\nHere are 8 miracles that will happen as soon as you do:<\/h3>\n
1. You accept yourself<\/h4>\n
2. You stop caring what people think<\/h4>\n
3. You feel worthy of making demands<\/h4>\n
