Break down the wall.

A wall exist to keep something in or something out.

So too is the wall we erect, it is to keep out our fears, and keep ourself inside protected.

But the wall that you erect merely make you more fearful and stop us from showing our true self to others.

So break down the wall so we can show others our true self and face your fears up front so that we may overcome it and be stronger for it.

I do not mind what is on your mind

What people think of us we can not control.

The only thing we can control is what we think of ourselves.

If other things that you should jump off a cliff, should you?

What they think of you should hold no bearing on what you do or what you become.

Brush aside the worry that you have in your heart about what others may think of you and be free of unnecessary burden you may have placed upon yourself.

So do not mind what others have on their mind, but mind only what is on yours.

Live for yourself, and not for others

It is a very kind offer for you to live for others, very self-sacrificial. It could also be seen that you see yourself as unworthy to live.

The more you place yourself in the role of the self-sacrifice the more you are going to blame others for the problems which you have incurred upon yourself.

But if you live for yourself and not for others, then the only person you can blame is yourself, on the upside the only person you can thank is also yourself.

By living for others you will feel the weight of them on your shoulder but if you live for yourself then you have only your own problem to consider.

So live for yourself and you will find life a much happier place to be and less of a burden.

Being true to yourself

While it is important to be true to others, it is also important to be true to yourself too. If you are not true to yourself eventually inner conflict will arise that you have to deal with. But what is it that I am talking about? To be true to one self is to not lie to yourself and in effect not lie to others as well. Some times we create a facade of ourselves and present this to the outside world.

Obviously it is not a true picture of who we are, but this will lead others to misinterpret how we are like. However if we portray ourselves as how we are, that is to not apologize for our own words, which is true at the time, to be confident with oneself, to hold oneself in the only way that one could be, there will be little mistaking of who we are.

However if we continue with the cherade eventually people will wonder about your sincerity or become surprise by your "out of character" actions, which could lead to inner frustrations that others are putting you in a stereotypical box of which you yourself is responsible for.

So be true to yourself and others will see the true you too.
