Alison GoodmanI found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life.
About This Quote
It is more important to be who you are than to be what you want to be. A person should not live a lie because of the fear of being judged or found out. In fact, pretending to be something that you are not only makes others unhappy, but it also makes you unhappy. It is absolutely necessary to accept the truth about who one is and then live a life that people will find meaningful. A successful life requires a person to live a meaningful life.
