So the world says, at every instance and every place we go. To be what you are…if one asks the meaning of this phrase. It would be quite easy to depict this simple English concept, the main obstruction comes to be faced when one has to apply it in practical life. If I want to describe what does “being what one is” means, is simply that one should only portray what one actually feels and avoid the idea of being fake and impressive through a fake portrayal. We are living in a highly technological,advanced,professional and competitive world, where everybody is running behind fame, recognition and money, I have seen in the normal social life, corporate world(not much exposed to this world) people have been overwhelming on their competitors, making and continuing relationships, and running behind a motive of money leading to only dissatisfaction and crave for more…all these have a backup of a fake personality being portrayed everywhere. At every instance the individual passes be. In friendship nowadays people portray to be different than what they actually are, just to trigger their importance in the minds of others with a posh an attractive behaviour.in the corporate world, which I feel is the best example of hypocrisy, individuals portray themselves to be something absolutely different than what they actually are, they become super courteous and show the other person that latter is just too important for him…but this lasts only till his work to be done is not completed…as soon as the former finishes his job, the entire story n scenario changes for him n for the other top. People just don’t bother about anything except what work they have to do. They call this smartness. And their personal ability to “use people” or “getting their work done” by any means. Now if I elaborate on “getting work done” this would involve anything and everything to be done for their purpose, it involves emotional use, and also involves physical uses, assassinations, murders…and every possible harassment or mental pressure you can think of for getting your stuff done by another.so in short this world can go to make people act according to their wishes.
So basically when we come down to what being you are is basically not portraying oneself in a fake personality, split personality ,it’s just portraying what the inner feelings of a human being are, and not to modify those feelings to suit the other persons demand and perceptions, or to cater to personal needs by doing so.this is the most easiest of everything in this world, and people have made it complex by modifying inner behaviour. Be what you are…..and then you can realize the power which the inner self gives you. It is stronger than the power of money, authority and any physical thing this world has to offer. Try out people 🙂
