Be Who You Are

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

- Dr. Seuss


I frequently hear people say this - be who you are, and say what you feel. I also know the reasons why I should be the way I am and say what I feel inside. But from time to time I found myself falling into situations where I am not who I am and I do not say what I feel, just because I am afraid. This saying of Dr. Seuss enlightened me. He tells me why I need not be afraid. Because, if I am as truthful as being myself and saying what I think, I have nothing to be afraid of other than how other people will think about me or judge me. Then Dr. Seuss pointed out, that what they think about me really does NOT matter.
