BE YOURSELF.
Be yourself;everyone else is already taken-OSCAR WILDE
The easiest thing to be in the world is you, the most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Dont be put in that difficult position. Never compromise yourself because you are all you have. All you can do is be who you are, some people will love you for you, most will love you for what you can do for them, and some wont like you at all. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind.to be yourself;
You need to  DISCOVER YOURSELF: Find time to learn who you really are and what you are. you can never truly be yourself until you know who you are. Our true self is who we are when we let go of all the stories, labels,and judgements that we have place upon ourselves. It is who we are without the mask and pretentiousness.
You need to DEFINE YOURSEL AND YOUR PERSONAL VALUES:  You should set your goals and know what you stand for. dont be infuenced by the things around you. you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. People and circumstances dont make me who I am, they only reveal what I am.
You need to BE POSITIVE: Staying positive is one important thing in being yourself. Never say negative things about yourself. be optimistic. You can do anything if you work hard at it. You are the best thing that has ever walked the surface of the earth.
SELF-CONFIDENCE: You need to have faith in yourself. believe in yourself.
AVOID BROODING ON THE PAST.
NEVER STOP LOOKING FOR YOUR OWN STRENGTH.
BE HONEST AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT AND CAN NEVER BE PERFECT.
DONT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS: you are your own person.
STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT YOU.
DEVELOP AND FOLLOW YOUR OWN STYLE.
TREAT YOURSELF WELL AND NEVER BE UNFAIR TO YOURSELF.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
