The Importance of Being Yourself, and Not Caring About What Others Think

Last night, I tweeted this:

This came from me, and I was inspired to tweet that because I realized something yesterday. My husband and I were enjoying a relaxing Sunday evening, listening to music and such, when this song came up:

Naturally, being a catchy song and all, I couldn’t get it out of my head, and neither could my husband. He even picked up the guitar and tried to play it. Whenever he starts playing, I feel inclined to sing and try to record myself singing it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful, and we ended up with the video below.

YES. I’m putting it all out there.

I thought it was hilarious because we were just bugging out, and being our true selves. I know I post video and sometimes I look back at them and feel like I’m really not being my true self because I’m shy or not confident in what I am saying. I want to make sure when I am talking to you all that I am conveying a positive and inspirational message! With that, includes being confident about what you’re saying.

Glen, my husband wasn’t very fond of the idea of me putting the video online, and I responded with, ‘who cares?’ He responded with, “I care.” And I told him, “Not everyone is going to like you in life.” There are tons of videos of people being themselves and those who watch it either think its great, or think its stupid. I realize that no matter what you do in life, there will be someone who will disagree, ridicule or hate it, but there will also be those who think it’s great and like you for it.

Instead of trying to please everyone, just be yourself, and those who appreciate what you do will be there, cheering you on! You are here for a reason, always remember that!
