.......we all have heard "be yourself" but a very successful and rich man told me once "do not be yourself, BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE" he gave an example "when your sad, do not be sad, be happy, thats what you really want and eventually happy you will be" so "be yourself" or "be who you want to be"

Very inspiring.
Been trying that for a few years, and I gotta say it's going great.
Although staying happy all the time is a bit delusional.
I just try to keep a realistic yet optimistic view regardless of how I feel, and that seems to work.
Good luck everyone.

I think it's great advise he gave you! I think he is absolutely right to a point. I also think it's important to just be your authentic self at times. We all need "down" time to relax, unwind and regroup before we go back out into the world & play the game of life. I found that when it came to my work, I could follow his advise & be" who I wanted to be." Then at home, I still needed to let go of that part of me to destress. So, I think applying both of those sayings can enrich your life and help you to live a fulfilled, balanced life.

well, yes, the "rich guy" is right....but the term "be yourself" isn't about the surface, it isn't about your emotions....it is about your core.
Your values, your beliefs, your morals...stay true to them. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of anything.
