You Do Yourself

Posted in Educational Leadership, Global Leadership, Leadership, Leadership Development by Dr. Byron L. Ernest on April 1, 2025

Yesterday I wrote about not holding ourselves to others’ timelines in Use Your Own Timeline. In the same conversation that inspired that post the phrase “you do yourself” was also used. This suggested that we should embrace who we truly are and make choices that align with our own personal core values and aspirations. That thought complements the idea of following our own unique timeline by encouraging us to prioritize our individuality over societal pressures or comparisons with others.

When we “do yourself,” we focus on what genuinely resonates with us, which can lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It’s about recognizing that our journey is ours alone and that it’s okay to carve out our own way, even if it looks different from others.
