prettyfreshj's blog: "Do You"

Do you sometimes find yourself feeling like you are not being your true self.? Do u lack fulfillment and joy sometimes bc you feel something is missing?...Well there is.... its you! I think we all get so caught up in trying to become something or someone we are not that eventually we lose site of who we really are..Although at first this might seem selfish or uncaring. i believe its the exact opposite and bc we spend so much of our time trying to please all those that are in are lives we end up not making the impact God intended for us to have .
For some you feel called to try and fix or help everyone close to you, but last time i checked that isn't your job its God and only God can truly change people and lives. Although it is noble and of good heart i think it throws you out of balance. Its not healthy and instead of becoming the best you "you" can be you try and make someone else the best them you think they should be. You lose focus on what really matters and you become unhappy . Which in turn affects all those around you more bc now they gotta deal with their problems and you being unhappy and out of wack... So simply put get over yourself! You weren't designed to fix the world. Yes be kind, yes be a true friend but not at the cost of making yourself unhappy. Wouldn't it feel so much better to just be yourself and have those people in your lives just accept you for who you are and not feel like you have to put on some show or hide what you are truly passionate about...Lets not forget the pressure to make this amount of money or hang out with this crowd to be cool .Or solve this person's problems or carry the load for that person.
Let's not forget the other obstacle to becoming your true self= "Haters"...You will always have critics and people who for no reason at all will not like you and say bad things about you..Pay them no mind keep on being you and growing as a person, don't sink to their level and get involved in their drama.Think for to long and you come to realize people that have the most critics and haters are usually the most successful and people for some reason don't like to see others achieve --brings out jealousy or what have you..So be glad when people are talking bad about you if you know and feel you are doing your best ..Means you are on the right track...When i sit and think of the people i admire most its the ones that are truest to themselves and their beliefs.....I want more haters in my life! Means I'm important enough to be on their minds and lips... Life is so short stop spending your time so concerned with what all your critics have to say about you. As long as you are doing the best you feel you can do , just let the rest go and focus your energy on being who you were created to be and leave all the haters and fakers to themselves. Enjoy your life , make yourself happy everyday. Just imagine what it would feel like if everyone made themselves happy and didn't depend on others for that, yes friends and family make life more enjoyable but they shouldn't make your life...So if you will just run your race and not let people control or manipulate you, you will not only have less strife and stress in your life, but i know you will have more time and energy,, and you will be free to fulfill the best plan that God has for you......Ultimate result a happier You and best of all the real "You" ....!
