REAL people do not have to lie, exaggerate, or brag for they are self-contained in self-understanding and acceptance of themselves. REAL people can make a mistake knowing that even when they do, it is only a mistake and just because the outcome was not to their liking, they know… T H E Y are not a mistake. REAL have the attitude this is who I am…and I am good enough, right now…just as I am. People who have chosen REAL have already clicked their heals together and returned home. .David W. Earle
About This Quote
The saying, "Real people do not have to lie, exaggerate, or brag for they are self-contained in self-understanding and acceptance of themselves" is a saying that captures a special quality that can be found in those who are real. Real people know who they are and they also know that they are good enough as they are right now. They have made a choice to be real and to accept themselves right now. Many feel that being real is something that comes from having a strong self-esteem.
However, this is not entirely true. In fact, being real is something that can be taught. Being real does not mean having a strong self-esteem but instead being able to accept yourself as you are right now.
