Are You Comfortable In Your Own Skin?

I say, ‘Be YOU!’ Don’t try to be anything else! You are here for you, not for others. You know what is good for you. You know what you want, what is going on in your life, where you are hurting, what is hurting you, and how you plan to live your life.

The only way you can find happiness in your life is to be you. The second way you can find happiness in your life is to remember to be you. Nothing more, nothing less.

But the world will try to tell you something else. Do not fall for it. Do not do what they want. Do what makes you come alive. Follow your heart. Listen to what God wants you to do. Do not do what people say you should do. Instead, do what God says you should do. Why? Because He is your creator. He knows you better than others.

Because God knows what you want in your life. God knows where you are going. He knows what is going on in your life. He is aware of your struggles. And He has a mesage for you: ‘Do not give up!’

The reason most people are not happy is that they never stop comparing themselves to other people. Do not do what they are doing. Just because other people are doing it doesn’t make it right. It is wrong!

It is wrong because you do not know everything about them. They are presenting to you what they want you to see. What happens to the other side? The side they don’t want you to know: their flaws, mistakes, anger, jealousy, failures. What happens to them?

Before you go into depression, remember this: ‘No one is perfect. Everyone is hiding something.’

As always, you are more, not less!

This Is Your Inner Strength

Respect your uniqueness. Always celebrate who you are. You are in charge of your life. Don’t give in to what people are saying about you. Whether people like you or not, that is okay. If they don’t like who you are, how you do your things, how you treat yourself, that is not your problem. What they are saying about you has nothing to do with you. But it has everything to do with them.

When you are doing your things, when you are living your life, do not expect some people to like you. What they want you to do is forget who you are, to go along, to follow them to wherever they are going.

Do not do that! Because you are here to make a difference, to touch other people’s lives. You are not here to make people happy, to please everybody.

If you do not have the courage to celebrate your uniqueness, you are not helping yourself. You are helping other people get better, not you.

The only way to find your true self, to celebrate who you are is to respect your uniqueness. Your specialness.

According to Joyce Meyer, ‘The things in your life that make you different aren’t hinderances … they are assets.’

Do not try to change how you look. Because God doesn’t care about how you look. God cares about your heart.

If you do not have a healthy heart, your possessions don’t matter. The best way forward, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘You owe it to yourself to determine the kind of person you want to be and how that person will allow themselves to be treated.’

Before you go, as always, let me ask you these questions. ‘What do you think about yourself? How do you feel about who you are? Do you ever compare yourself with other people and feel belittled if you can’t do what they can do or be like them?’ Don’t!!!!

Be you. Remember, You are more, not less!
