The Art of Being Yourself

The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the man you want to be. A famous biologist has said that the possibility or even identical twins being wholly alike is one chance to all of the electrons in the world; each man is unique individual being.

By the grace of God you are what you are; glory in your self hood, accept yourself and go on from there.

A good place to begin is by having faith in yourself and your destiny.

Champion the right to be yourself: dare to be different and to set your own pattern: live your live and follow your own star.

Respect yourself; you have the right to be here and you have important work to do.

Don’t stand in your own shadow; get your little self out of the way so your big self can stride forward.

Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny spark of possibility within you into the flame of achievement.

Create the kind of self you will be happy to live with all your life.

Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward our selves can we have the right attitude toward others.

Written by Wilfred Peterson in 1960
