Dare to be the greatest YOU
Many have questioned what our life is for, what it is all about. I believe it shouldn't be about arguing or fighting over our differences, but rather, for respecting and appreciating our unique variances as a common bond. I have learned alot from being on the internet, and one of the things I've learned is that a bouquet of flowers looks it's best when it consists of many different kinds of flowers, and all different colors. We as people are much like flowers in a beautiful human bouquet, each having our own special beauty, and each drawing on the beauty of those around us to become something even more beautiful than we ever could be on our own.
I don't expect everyone to be the same as me, or that I will understand or agree with everyone else's ideas and feelings. We are all individual, and unique with ourselves. What I DO believe is that each of us can be better, or worse, depending on what we choose to do with our lives. The problems come when we decide that what we personally believe in is the only good and right way, and then expect everyone else to feel the same way that we do.
I don't ever wish to point my finger at anyone and say, "the way you are is wrong, you should be more like me." What I think or believe is not important for you... but it's what YOU think and feel about yourself that truly matters. All we can really do is be true to ourselves. You came into this world a separate individual person, and you will leave the same way. The best we can hope for is to bridge that separation gap with love.
It is not about you and your family. It's not about you and your friends. It's not about you and anyone else. It's not even about you and what ever God you may or may not believe in. It's about you and your image of yourself... your dreams.... your idea of the greatest and best person you can be. It's between YOU and YOU. When you do some thing that make you feel good inside about yourself, then you are doing what you are suppose to be doing.
(and I'm sure there are some who will disagree with me on this issue too, but that's okay.)
Just try to see yourself in the best possible way, and hang onto that image of goodness and greatness. Find a dream for yourself that makes you feel really good inside, and then never loose sight of that dream. You can be anything you set your mind to be... just try to be the very best of YOU. Be proud of your accomplishments and successes. Don't focus on the failures, but learn and become even better for tomorrow. Set your goals high, and never allow anyone but YOU to decide who you truly are. You are just as important and special as any other single person who has ever, or will ever live on this planet. Money, location, skin color, gender, personal believes, individual intelligence, physical appearances and abilities, or anything else will make us any more or less important than anyone else.
Doing things to be proud of gives you faith in yourself. Having Faith in yourself gives you hope for purpose and meaning. Don't focus on what me or others think about you, think about yourself. Be the best that you can be. Love yourself with truth, and as long as you are totally honest with yourself, everything else will work out fine.
I hope these thoughts help you to see yourself in a different way. I truly wish I could just give you what you need to feel good inside, and to honestly LOVE yourself, but that wouldn't have as much importance and meaning as YOU doing it for yourself. If you have any questions or comments you would like to share with me, feel free to send me and email. I would love to hear from you.
