You can barely scroll through social media these days without coming across a post where someone is advising you to just be yourself.

And they may even suggest that all of your problems are stemming from you not being yourself enough.

But what does that actually mean?

Be yourself.

Is it following your urges? Is it saying whatever's on your mind in the

moment? Is it responding to somebody who's trolling you on social media and setting them straight?

Is it flirting with somebody who you're attracted to, even if it's your colleague at work?

In this episode, I'm going to break down what it

truly means to be yourself from a spiritual perspective. And at the end of the video, I'm going to

share a story about an understated woman from my hometown who changed the course of history

just by being herself. And you've probably heard of her before, but you've never heard the story

told quite like this. All right. Let's get into it. Be yourself. Sounds easy, but let's be

honest. It's vague as hell. When somebody says be yourself, that can mean a hundred different

things depending on where we are in life, right?

Sometimes people think it means just do what you feel in the moment. But as we all know,

not all of our feelings are the truth. Some feelings are rooted in fear. Some feelings are

unconscious habits. Some are just emotional leftovers from a bad night

asleep and too much caffeine. If you want to snap at somebody who disrespected you, that's a

feeling. If you want to slide into somebody's DMs late at night, chances are that's a feeling.

But is that you being yourself or is that just you listening to your feelings or urges?

So from a spiritual perspective, your true self does not operate in your triggers or in your impulses.

Instead, it lives deeper in your internal direction, your inner guidance.
