If you measure your success by the degree of praise and blame of others, your anxiety will be endless. Social pressure to meet other people's standards can hinder one's happiness and peace of mind. Aspiring to be perfect, with beautiful hair, straight white teeth and an ideal figure will not lead to happiness. Relinquishing the desire to meet the expectations of others allows people to breathe out and realize their unique qualities, and then go their separate ways. Authenticity becomes a guiding principle that promotes feelings of self-acceptance and genuine connection with others who value individuality.
