People don’t know you. But do you know yourself? (Not just for teenagers)

When we compare ourselves to others we feel lesser. But it is what makes you different that people will appreciate. Embrace what really makes you you.

Excerpt: "I have come to realize that you aren’t born capable. You are born with the potential to become that capable. To use that potential, you have to believe in yourself. Your competition isn’t other people; it is the previous version of yourself.

Gradually, I grew up and started understanding certain aspects of life through different perspectives. When that happened things were never the same. I would like to share what I learned.

First, you don’t have to strive harder to come into someone’s good books. You don’t have to constantly try to fit into societal norms, just so you can call yourself normal or worthy enough to be a resident of your cultural surroundings.

Accept reality. Make your inner-child happy and satisfied rather than restricting yourself to societal expectations. That’s what matters the most at the end of the day.

Second, you enter your teenage period when you start facing competition among your age group. After comparing yourself to others, you will tend to undervalue yourself. Because of this, you try to mold your personality into such a container which conceals your originality. When you do that you lose touch with your inner self."
