GIRL! YOU’RE IN CHARGE.

 

Damsel, one of the reasons do not know who you are, is that you are busy trying to live out someone else idea. You allow other people’s opinion to define your destiny, you look up to others to tell you who you are, you fashion your lives after what someone has said about you. The fact that someone said you should be a teacher does not mean you should start forcing yourself to teach when your heart tells you to be a nurse. Also, do not let the fact that someone said you will not amount to anything push you into living a life that proves them right.

Whatever anyone said or did to you in the past has no power over your future if you do not allow it. You must define yourself and your own life.

You must also deal with your belief system because you become what you believe. It has been proven that what you believe has more power than what you dream of or hope for.

In your journey to self discovery, you must pin point what your heart desires and longs for. You must take time to listen to what your heart is telling you and where it is leading you to. Let your heart speak to you through your intuition. Your intuition is that inner voice that tells you heartfelt secrets about you and your life.

In getting to know yourself, do not over estimate your strength and think you are more superior to others. Also, do not over emphasize your weakness and think you are inferior to others. Do not allow other people’s opinion to overshadow the way you see yourself. Do not allow anyone to look down on you. You may listen to others, especially your siblings and parents. Their opinion may help you re-examine your perception of yourself but you don’t necessarily have to accept these opinions.

Having clarity about who you are, what you want and why you want it empowers you to consciously and actively make those wants a reality. According to Tao Tzu, “knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.” 

God created you unique and different from every other person around you. He deposited special abilities in you in a combination that does not exist in anyone else. There can never be another you. You are born original. You must not die a copy because God makes no copies. You are a marvel, you are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another girl like you. Your arms, legs, the way you move, reason, your beautiful face, what you love, what inspires you and what makes you laugh are all unique to you. You can become anything you want to be. You can achieve anything you want to achieve. You have the capacity for anything. Just dream it and you can achieve it.   God made you brilliant. You are not a dullard. You are not a waste of time. You will amount to something. You will achieve greatness. Therefore, you must know and believe in yourself. Stop trying to be someone else, stop wasting time trying to change what you cannot. Work hard at being the best you can be, start by simply being yourself. Trying to be somebody else means you are struggling to be a copy when God already made you an original.
