"We seem to believe that we constantly have to work on ourselves to improve ourselves and become “better”. But the question is, “better by whose standards?” I spent a lifetime trying to live up to other people’s unrealistic standards of how I “should” be – and all it did was cause me cancer, because I constantly believed that I wasn’t good enough. In truth, all we have to do is BE OURSELVES! We don’t realize that we are actually perfect just the way we are. We are born perfect, but spend a lifetime trying to be something we are not, and then feel inadequate for failing. Your only purpose is to be yourself, otherwise you will deprive the universe of who you truly are."
-Anita Moorjani
Never seen anyone post a literary quote in a level 0 public GA. And such a awesome one it is. I'll dare to say it's from "Dying to be me!", but I can be wrong.

You're correct, it's from that book! That book is one of my favorite and changed the perspective how I see the world. I recommend the book if you didn't read yet! It could be really motivational if you had too much bitter taste in your life.

I read it a long time ago, that's why I wasn't sure If it actually was it or not (and on top of that I read it on Spanish). Good book, not my favourite (but the author's best in my opinion), but it was worth reading.
