Why You Need to Return to Your True Self Instead of “Finding Yourself”

  • by

Let us start with a quote by Caroline McHugh – “Your job is not to be anything like any [other famous or influential person]. In fact, your job is to be as unlike them as you can possibly be. Your only job while you’re here on the planet is to be as good at being you as they are at being them. That’s the deal.”

In this brilliant Ted Talk, Caroline McHugh explains the beauty of being yourself.

If you’re having trouble knowing where to return to yourself, here’s the answer: your true self lives inside your “queendom.” Every woman has a queendom (and man has a kingdom). No two queendoms are alike, and every queendom is magical.  

“We all have our own thing. That’s the magic: that everybody comes with their own sense of strength and their own queendom. Mine could never compare to hers and hers could never compare to mine.”

— JILL SCOTT

Living in your queendom means embracing the gifts and qualities you’ve been given, and appreciating the gifts that have been given to others. It means acknowledging all the things that make you AMAZING and truly unique, not from a place of superiority, but from a place of interiority. It means appreciating your body and feeding your soul positive energy.

It is having an understanding that comparison leads to nowhere productive and is irrelevant because you have your own special kind of magic to give to the world in your own way.

Above all, it’s showing yourself fierce kindness and unapologetic compassion so your true self can shine through. So come home and return to your true self. It’s simple, but not always easy, to slow down, sit down, take a few, easy breaths, and reconnect with the truly awesome you that is you right here right now.
