Writer Regina Brett's life lessons are great little nuggets of wisdom. There's something for everyone!
I'll
be reflecting on this week's lesson: ""Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does."
People often worry unnecessarily about what other people think of them. It's human nature! We want to look just right; we can become consumed with looking the part, acting like we know everything, speaking with confidence. "Fake it 'til you make it" is an oft-heard mantra in the self-help game. It's not terrible advice at all, but sometimes you have to take a step back and realize that most people are too absorbed in their own needs to be confident, to look great, and to sound intelligent -- just like you are! Learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. Realize that you are good enough as you are. Aspire to your dreams, but never feel the need to put on airs or to feel shame for the person you are. If you screw up, laugh and learn. Then, when you're ready, try again!
