Introduction:

You are who you are in life, and that is just who you are. Too many times people try to change each other or even tease others for being different. Here are the top five reasons to just be yourself, including some unusual reasons.

Tigger

One unusual reason to just be yourself is to look at Tigger. The character Tigger from Winnie the Pooh is one totally awesome character. We all know and love Tigger. Tigger is such an awesome character, because Tigger is the only one of his kind.

The other characters may not always like everything that Tigger does or says, but that is fine. That is just the way that life is.

Tigger is extraordinarily proud to be himself. We should certainly all be more like Tigger. We should all be happy just to be ourselves, and we should all be very proud to be who we are.

Proud

A real reason to just be yourself is because you are very special. No matter who you are, you are a very special person.

That does not mean that there is never any room for change. Change is a normal behavior in life. We all change throughout the years. We just do not need to be changing our lives for other people. Change will always come about in our lives whether we like it or not.

Live for today, and live for yourself. Just be proud of who you are, and do not worry about what others may think. After all, you are your own best friend.

Deceit

Another reason to just be yourself in life is because deceit is rotten to the core. People should never try to pretend to be anything that they are not.

Many people in life will make up lies about just about anything. They will try to make their lives sound much better than they really are. There is no sane reason for this. People need to learn to just be themselves.

If there is any deceit in your life, others will find it. We have all heard the saying of how your lies will find you out. Just be yourself. Be honest with others, and they will be honest with you. Just as lies show, integrity shows, too.

Popeye

Here is another unusual reason to just be yourself. Think about Popeye. Think of one of Popeye's most famous sayings of all time, "I am what I am, and that's all that I am."

Popeye was always very proud of who he was. He was also a great character. Popeye was always going through all kinds of problems, but he was always happy to just be himself. Popeye, for this reason, is a character to be looked up to.

We all could learn a lot from Popeye's attitude. Maybe some of us just need more spinach in our daily lives, and then we would be more proud to just be ourselves.

Others

The last reason of these top five reasons to just be yourself pertains to others around you. Do not worry about others around you. Just be yourself, and be proud to be yourself no matter who you are.

There will always be others that do not agree with certain things in our lives. They may not like the way we dress or the way we comb our hair. There are countless things that other people may not like about us.

Just always remember the old saying about how you can please some of the people some of the time, but you will never please all of the people all of the time.

The person to worry about here is yourself. Just be yourself, because you will never be able to please everyone, anyway. Just please yourself, and be always be proud of yourself.

When you can't be yourself, it puts a great deal of stress on you. I'm hard-pressed to be phony. It gives me a migraine. H5

For one thing, I think it's easier and more comfortable to be ourselves as we grow in years and wisdom. I know I quit worrying about what others think or following the flock. I absolutely love your list. HI5
