If you haven’t heard it from someone else already today, I like you just the way you are.
I’ve heard those words many times from Mr. Rogers, and they are the inspiration for today’s #jammingwithjason #podcast episode. It’s OK to be who you are; as Oscar Wilde would say,” Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
And, if some people will judge and not like you regardless of what you do, you might as well BE who you are authentically and do what you want to do. That way, you avoid so much of the guilt and shame most people experience by pretending to be someone they aren’t. That’s a broken strategy that has you wake up later in a life full of regret, having lived a life of shoulda-woulda-couldas, being a fake, instead of living an authentic life of no regrets.
