Donald Burns argues that the most dangerous person is someone who stops pretending to please others and becomes their authentic self. He says conformity prevents you from reaching your potential and calls on listeners to embrace who they actually are.
I'd rather have people not like me for who I am than have people like me for who I'm not. Period. No more masks. No more pretending. We've been trained from a young age to put on that mask, to make people happy. But here's the truth. All that is a lie. They keep you from living up to your true potential. They teach us to fit in, to blend in, to be who everyone else wants us to be, instead of who we really are. But what they don't tell you is that the most dangerous person in the world is the one who has woken up, who has finally taken off the mask and embraced the person that God destined to become. It is time to take off the mask. Will you embrace who you are? Or you keep playing the same game? Let's go. Let's do this. Reach out. Let's make some changes.
