This Is Who You Really Are

Live your life. You are here to live, not to waste. Don’t live other people’s lives. If you want to live your own life, you must believe in who you are. You must stand tall, even taller than others.

Because life is going to test you. And people will do the same. If you are not strong, if you do not believe in who you are, you are going to break.

Do not let that happen. Because you are not walking alone. You are not doing the work alone. God is with you.

If God is for you, no one can touch you. Because God knows you better than other people.

You are who God says you are. You are not who people say you are. You are who you believe you are.

If you believe in your life, you can create a great life for yourself. If you believe you are the tallest, then you are.

If you believe you can do all things, you can do them. If you believe you have what it takes to live a better life, to face your future, you can.

Why self-belief? Because self-belief is everything. No matter how smart you are, if you do not believe in yourself, you are less likely to succeed in life.

As always, you are more, not less!

The Only Way To Gauge How Well You Are Doing

What are you measuring in your life? Are you measuring things that are important to you?

Are you after what is going to change your life? Are you after your happiness, your joy, your own passion?

Are you okay with what is going on in your life? If you are not getting what you want to see in your life, what are you doing to get back to yourself, to feel more alive, to be comfortable with your life?

Or are you just doing what other people are doing? Or are you just trying to pretend that everything is okay in your life? Or are you just living your life to make other people happy? Or are you living for others, but not for yourself?

Or are you comparing yourself to others? What are you doing? Are you being true to yourself?

What are you doing right now? If you don’t know what to do next, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘… the only way to gauge how well you are or not doing is to have the courage to go inward, and to feel. To truly be honest with yourself, to keep going when you don’t feel finished, to let your roots sink deeper when you are in something you want to last. To realize that none of us will ever maintain seamless lives, but we are all capable of having one we are in some proud of. We are all capable of deciding what is worth our efforts, our energy, our fight.’

To know whether things are going well or not, look at what is going on in your life right now?

Do not pretend that everything is going well. If things are not, then seek help. You do that by asking some tough questions.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing right now? Is this what I should be doing right now? Is what I am doing getting me closer to my dreams? What should I change that is not helping me? What should I keep doing that is working? Who can help me?’ Do not be too smart to ask for help.

Be real with yourself. That is the only way to be you, to get to where you want to be. If not, you are not going to get what you want.

As always, remember, You are more, not less!
