“Be yourself” doesn’t mean “be the person you are right now and never improve”.
It means be a better version of who you were yesterday. Be yourself, but improve yourself little by little. A better you is still you, and small steps will eventually lead to a far-away goal.
But most importantly, don’t change yourself for others. Don’t be who someone else wants you to be or thinks you should be.

All of you guys are wrong to an extent.
You’re not a crappy person just because you can’t do everything or because you have flaws, and under most circumstances, most of us have the ability to be better than we are without faking it. You CAN do more than what you are currently doing, you CAN be better, but you HAVE to CHOOSE to.
And being a better person doesn’t revolve around having more money or material things, but choosing to do good by others, even if it’s not the the popular thing.
The bottom line is, that you CAN CHOOSE to better than you are in most cases, so you shouldn’t let yourself be held back by what others may say or think. If you want to truly be better, you MUST make the effort to do so.

Don’t Be Yourself: You are selfish, annoying, and stupid, just like the rest of us. Instead fake it until you make it by acting better than you are. Eventually you will become the mask and be genuinely decent.
