Own it.

What are we, if we are not defined by our actions?

And who is hurt when one acts upon a conviction that one does not truly hold? Is it the recipient of this action? Or is it the person who has committed the action based on a false pretense?

Who are we, if we are not what people think of us? One may deceive some people all of the time, but one cannot deceive oneself for too long.

Acting falsely and lying to oneself only bring destruction and loneliness to ones life. For a short while it may seem possible to deny who you really are, but there is no way to keep up the act for a lifetime. The longer you pretend, the harder you come crashing down.

Embrace who you are. Change what you don't like. Improve the things you do.
