I just gotta add a few more words, even repetitious ones, about this whole ‘be yourself’ phenomenon. My intention isn’t to be quick with the answers, but to pump in more questions!
It is common to look at music icons, actresses, rock concerts, space travel, etc. and suggest these folks were ‘being themselves’. Are they?
Maybe. But that cannot be determined without a deep and personal conversation with them. You see, ‘being yourself’ may not be about what your skills are at all, but about what drives those skills!
