In life we face similar situations of people living and trying to
be who they are not, today I would love to inspire someone with this topic Designed
as you. You are not designed to be anyone else but you. Most times it is difficult
to live above envy and jealousy but then again we are ignorant of the fact that
we suffer from these. Owing what you have and earnestly craving what the
next person has leads to jealousy. More often than not being contented is the first step to erase or live
above envy and jealousy, rather than see the other person as best why not see
yourself as best?
It also gets very terrible when we see
what the next person has and the urge to getting that same item makes us spend
our last penny to purchase that item. Most people call it "Wanna Be"
but I would rather say that is one of the deadly habits of envy and jealous.
You do not get to please the world by
pretending to live a life that is not yours, rather you are just stressing yourself
trying to please people who do not even feel half of the stress you go through.
JUST BE YOU, that’s the most priceless item in the market. You cannot tell how
much value you place on yourself if even when faced with all sorts you decide
to be you. Being you is the most attractive, most pricey value you can ever
own.
The Second chapter in the epistle of Joel
in the bible explains this better "Like
warriors they charged like soldiers, they scale the wall. They march each on
his way, they do not swerve from their paths. They do not jostle one another,
each marches in his path, they burst through the weapons and are not halted"
Joel 2:7-8.
This scripture teaches us who we truly
are, Princes and Princesses, Kings and Queens who do not walk on the path of
one another but rule in our own unique way.
I tell you in all sincerity, NOBODY can be
you and that person you are trying to be like can never match the great
personality you have on your inside.
You are designed by God to be a
prince/princess in your own field. That dream you have would come to pass, but
it definitely would not come when you are trying to be someone else. Do not lose
track of who you are because of jealousy, envy and peer pressure.
Rather than let people influence you, be
the influence. In your daily activities pride yourself in who you are through
Christ.
Life is not a competition, never live to impress,
live to make a difference.
You are beautiful/handsome. Believe this
about yourself and above all believe you are designed as you.

Babe nice write up... I totally dig you, but the thing is, life has been designed by our past experience to look like a competition... My question is, how do you face life and its competition and eradicate envy and jealousy? Cos sometimes this two are major drives
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. The answer is simple BE YOURSELF. The past experiences of whatsoever felt like a competition might only have come in to see how true we can stay to being who we are. The only way to eradicate jealousy and envy is Pride in who you are designed to be, list all of the possibilities, talents and a future you see ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteEven if you decide to get into a competition whats the possibility of being the winner, why not decide to be the judge while others compete and how do you do that choose to be yourself and when you do so people admire you and compete to be you, then you can be the judge of those competing to be you rather than you competing to be someone else. I hope I was able to answer your question.
Best part!people u are trying to please, don't even care!!
