Our efforts to be happy and successful often cause us to imitate other people.
We certainly can and must learn from others, but there is a problem if we do that at the expense of never finding out who we are. It’s especially problematic when we disguise and numb our feelings.
We can’t help but feel vulnerable when we step into being our authentic, imperfect and yet worthy-of-love selves, but it’s the only path to joy and happiness.
Shame is the root of our lack of authenticity. It’s universal. We all experience that “not good enough” feeling.
