I came across a post by Angel Chernoff on the blog Practical Tips for Productive Living. The post is titled: “10 Choices You Will Regret in 10 Years.” The first of these 10 choices hit me hard because I’ve seen so many people fall victim to it and have a miserable life. Therefore, I would like to share it with you:

Wearing a mask to impress others. “If the face you always show the world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. Because when you spend too much time concentrating on everyone else’s perception of you, or who everyone else wants you to be, you eventually forget who you really are. So, don’t fear the judgments of others; you know in your heart who you are and what’s true to you. You don’t have to be perfect to impress and inspire people. Let them be impressed and inspired by how you deal with your imperfections.”
