Read the paragraph above. As you see, I'm being inspired these days by the Joyce Meyer. It's really weird for kids aged like me to like her teachings, eh?
That's really what this blog means. Daring to be someone different from other people. Yes, that is true, God made us entirely unique individuals, humans who are barely similar to each other. That made us very special. And that is the DARE. What we need to do is to accept ourselves & stop trying to please everyone.
What are insecurities by the way? A person who is insecure lacks confidence in their own value and capability, trust in themselves or others, or has fears that a present positive state is temporary and will let them down and cause them loss or distress by "going wrong" in the future. Now, we need to overcome these fears. How? You must have the courage to be different, also, as the post above says. Yes, we need to have the initiative to do such a thing as "daring to be different". Remember,
"The Lord is my light and my Salvation, Whom Shall I Fear?" Psalm 27
Unhappiness & frustration happen when we reject our uniqueness & try to be like each other. We do this to become "in" & to fit in with our peers by PLEASING THEM. Now, we are in this world to live our life and also, to serve our own purpose and please God. And then, the question is, Am I a people pleaser or a God pleaser?
Of course, pleasing people can make you happy, in a way, because you can hear other people treating you as their "friend" because you can do things for them or are always by their side. As the paragraph above states, that is fine as long as you aren't thinking of that as your main purpose in living. God unleashed us into this universe because we have a purpose, we are worth something, and what other people think or say about us is not that SOMETHING. But what is that 'something'? It means that you have a mission, it means that God knows that you have to need to fulfill that mission that's why he sent you here, on Earth.
The paragraph above says what a 'people pleaser' is. Do you want to be like that? A human that is like a robot who lets other people control of himself with just a simple click? You might want to but God doesn't. God wants us to have our own disposition & not to be controlled by others like a robot. And we shouldn't, too, allow people to make use of us to get what they want.I won't finish the whole article. It's way too long for a day. I hope this helps in developing an identity truly unique from others'. Ciao!
Lux In Domino!
