BE YOURSELF
Everyone raves about the virtue of being YOURSELF but what does that mean? And why do most people find that such an inherently natural state do hard to achieve? Human
beings are spiritual creatures equipped with biological bodies and material minds. We are subject to both spiritual and Physical influences. We feel a countless different emotions,encompassing the Physical and the sublime. Our motives range from survival instincts to transcendental intuitions process.
We are being created by a God. We are wonderfully
created in the image we are outstanding and different. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well
Psalms 139:14.
We are not uniform but rather composed of contradictory parts- an ego driven nature and
a spirit based divine nature. Therefore when we try to discover " who we really are" we are
self divided, in ever changing proportions depending on our focus at that point in time.
Believing and bringing up the abilities which God has given you, is by being yourself.
First and foremost if we must do any tangible thing in life, we have to first of all believe in ourselves through Christ in us cause without believing in ourselves we can never achieve or
produce good result. You must always treasure the magnificent being that you are and
recognize first and foremost that you are not here as a human being only. You are a
spiritual being having human experience. Always be YOURSELF, express yourself, have
faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it Bruce Lee.
Actually, self actualization is a very much a sorting process. The two aspects of our
self identification the normal and the divine are indeed quite opposite, and often in conflict.
So when it comes to self do I want to be? Unfortunately, many of us never ask that question,
or make any intentional distinction between our competing halves. Many people say if you
are angry, be angry. If you are resentful, express it! That sounds enlightened in the face of it,
but when it comes to being faithful to our moods and impulses where do we draw the line?
If we really feel like stealing, do we steal? If we really feel like slapping our boss, do we do it?
There are plently of things we can be that if we thought about the results, we might not want
to be. This raises the issues: are we hypocrites if we don't do whatever we feel like doing?
Absolutely not! Self control doesn't mean intergrity . Intergrity requires staying true to our
overall choices, commitments, and preferences. In fact, we become hypocrites if we do
things that contradict those overall decisions, choices, commitments, and preferences.
Mention legends and heroes who never believed in themselves and came out well?
None! Sometimes being yourself might not be that easy but you have to try everything
possible and to also develop yourself. Be yourself, but always your better self Karl G.
Maeser. Nobody is successful than you because they don't have the ability to achieve and
act or take your role. When you discover yourself and you be yourself, you will be able to
bring out the reality in YOU. Always love who you are cause thats one of the way of
achieving success.
Furthermore, you have to value yourself because you have worth. Everyone is a bit
of God in the sense that God has put part of himself in each and everyone on earth. So we
have the ability to behave like the ability and characteristics he had placed in us.And the
Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathe into his nostrils the breathe of
life and man became a living soul"- Genesis 2:7. God is involved in our inadequacy. It was
made by him. Our inadequacy is formed as a result of human nature. God knew about our
mistakes cause our being is not complete without our inadequacy. Intact inadequacy will
help our growth. There are some inadequacy that will be resolved and there are some that
are permanent and that is the reason why he gave us the Holy spirit in other to help us. And
the Lord said, it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him an help meet for
him"- Genesis 2:18. There is a bit of God's misery in YOU. You need not jealous other people.
You are jealous because you haven't seen who you really are. If you will never standup to
value yourself you will never be valued by anyone in life.
No matter what you are doing or where you come from, if you dont believe in yourself
you will continue to be a servant to others. It brings inferiority complex, if you dont believe in
yourself no one will even believe you. The moment you place value on yourself and you
believe it, then your life is about to change." Dont be afraid to be awesome. Sometimes
being weird and different is good. When you think you are working hard, there is always
someone else working harder, so always be yourself and your stuff Jacqueline Macinnes
Wood.
God would not make you a repetition of an existing or once existing person even if
you have the physical features and resemblance that does not mean you are not designed
only to take a passage through history but to know and live the only reason why God has
made you not to be another person. That is why you must never change your originality for
the sake of others. Because no one can play the role better than yoy,." Be yourself no matter
what people think of you God made you the way you are for a reason. Besides, original is
better than copy
What research have you done to improve your skills and knowledge on your field? Its
laziness to sit back and believe that God will provide all the knowledge you need. In Exodus
4:3, God asked Moses what is that you we have in your hand? The rod worked wonders
In 1 Kings 17, God used Elisha to ask the widow for the little she had. God multiplied it. In
Matthew 14:17, Jesus use the 5 loaves and 2 fishes any he multiplied it as well. God will only
begin his works where you have reached your limit so define yourself; gather knowledge, get
busy, keep practising, be innovative, read more and be a better you.
In conclusion, you are special, you are the best, you are beautiful, you are born to
reign, you deserve the best, you are beautiful, you are born to reign.Instead of envying others
we should remain thankful for what we have and rejoice when others are blessed. Cause
you can't be genuinely happy with a heart full of envy. Always remember that your mistake
wont define you. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his
hand in support and upholds him Psalms 37:24. You must get your mind, your words, your
vision going in the right decision, you are who God says you are. You are BLESSED, LOVED,
STRONG, TALENTED, PROSPEROUS, OUTSTANDING, UNIQUE, FAVOURED, FORGIVEN,
HEALTHY and FREE.
Be real be YOU!!
