Good to be you

You are a unique and valuable part of life. Let that value come to the surface and do its good work.

You’re hard on yourself, demanding of yourself, and in many ways that compels you to improve. But don’t be so critical that you destroy your confidence or discourage yourself.

You have good work to do, useful insights to express. You have thoughts and feelings that can be of great benefit to yourself and others.

So let your essence flow out to the world. Allow your unique gifts to add new richness to life.

Your own special truth won’t always be welcomed with open arms, but so what? It’s far better to embrace and to own who you are than to hide it.

It’s good to be you. Let the world in on the best of that goodness.

— Ralph Marston
