You must know who you are and be true to who you are if you are going to be who you can and should become.

Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You're defined by what you stand for

The hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves. Who are we? Our family tells us, society tells us, laws and customs tell us. But what do we say? How do we get to that place of self-knowledge and conviction where we are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, “This is who I am, this is what I believe, this is how I intend to live my life”?

Be that self that one is

It doesn’t matter who or how many come at you, you have to be you. Confidently. Authentically. Bravely.

Being ourselves means sometimes having to find the courage to stand alone, totally alone.

Be exactly who you are. - Naval Ravikant

There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life. It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are.

If you know who you are, and you keep that in mind at all times, and not let that get away from you to sacrifice your principles, your values, your true self. Because if you're true to you, then life will be true to you.

Trying to find out who you are will lead you to the work you need to do, the lessons you need to learn. When our inner and outer beings are one, we no longer need to hide, fear, or protect ourselves. We see who we are as something that transcends our circumstances.

Be resolutely and faithfully what you are; be humbly what you aspire to be.

Have the courage and strength to be yourself.
Because there is no other choice.
Do you have a choice of being somebody else?

You must try to understand truthfully what makes you do things or feel things. Until you have been able to face the truth about yourself you cannot be really sympathetic or understanding in regard to what happens to other people. But it takes courage to face yourself and to acknowledge what motivates you in the things you do.

Be sure that whatever you are is you.
