Being real

What does it mean to be real? I believe it means being who you really are and not being afraid to be who you are, no matter what anyone else is. Too many people put on this mask just to please everyone else. That's not authentic. What the world needs is more men who are real and won't pretend they're someone they're not. Too many of us follow the leader. We each need to be leaders in our own lives and do what we believe is right for us. Sometimes it's good to follow direction, but when you always follow, you won't be director of your own life.
