Be Yourself

Did you know that you are an amazing being? That all your fears of believing the truth are what's holding you back from embracing what life has to offer. Insecurities, and lack of believing in ourselves causes us to become someone we're not. When I was in an atmosphere filled with lost ones, I didn't know who I was. I too was lost. It turned out the person I was portraying, was actually an imitation of a bundle of different people I aspired to be. Of course, that wasn't really what I wanted. It was just all I knew. When you seek out yourself, by inputing the influence of all that's around you, the results vary. You don't become content and  confident with who you are. Just safe. You're okay, because you're accepted. But who said our goal should be being accepted? I say, forget that theory, and let's face against the wind. Let's throw it back at them, because let's face it, life is short and I will not waste it trying to find who I am, where the maps have all the wrong directions. It's way more fun living in confidence, and believing in yourself, then wishing you could. But people often ask, how to get there? What needs to be done in order to feel that way? How can I ever be content with my past, or the way I look, or how much money I have? The answer is simple. You accept life for what it is, and find all the beauty in it. You smile, because smiling releases happy endorphins into your brain, bringing forth happiness. You build on forgiveness, and seek out the good in all situations. You throw away your weaknesses, and strengthen your gifts. And if you shoot for perfection, well, you'll be disappointed. But if you shoot for nothing but yourself, perfection is achieved. We were created to be the way we are. So, as you sit in that chair, bed, couch, in whatever article of clothing, with whatever hairdo, just know you are perfect. Maybe not in the worlds eyes, but in His you are. And if that's not enough for you, well consider yourself selfish. Why do we value the opinions of people anyways? It's not like they're the greatest creator of all time? My point being made, we must accept ourselves for who we are, before we can live. You're not living until you love yourself. Learn to love yourself, it's worth it, because you're worth it. 



Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!
Psalm 31:24
