Now this post is
going to examine certain areas you may be uncomfortable with like your your
person and even your personality. I want you to understand something before I
begin: You are more than enough-you
matter.
A lot of people
struggle with that sentence. They find they are not enough for themselves, and
hence what happens as a result of this false position of identity is it infects
your environment because you have changed the tenure of your relationships
through the lens you have chosen to use to focus on your personality.
No one is
perfect. Not one single person in life has a perfect personality and template
of engagement. You are unique because of
your idiosyncrasies. Those things and aspects of yourself that make you
different are what at the end of the day make you stand out.
So stop fighting with your future. That is the danger of this position. Accept who you are-accept your faults, your
weaknesses, your failures, your successes. It is all part of the process
that makes your person and gifts into your personality. Don’t confuse this with making excuses for your actions. No. What I
am saying is it is so important to understand that yes you do have faults, but
you also have amazing qualities. You are constantly working on improving
yourself and your personality-constantly allowing yourself to grow. You cannot grow until and unless you accept
yourself. And some of you may struggle with acceptance in your physicality,
your mentality, even your spirituality.
This all comes
back to the position of identity.
Stop making
excuses for your faults, start making changes in your actions. This sentence
may confuse some of you but I want you to understand how it is related. When
you confront yourself with acceptance, in every area of your life, you have
taken a stance that not only allows growth to partner with your personality,
but creates rooms for changes to take place in your person. Growth comes from
acceptance. Growth comes from a position of understanding that you have
something to offer that no one else does. You are in a situation packaged with
certain experiences, gifted with a unique mindset of understanding to present
to the world your talent through your personality. This is why you have to
start at the point of acceptance-it unlocks the doorway to opportunities
because you give yourself room to grow.
As long as you
maintain a position based on a premise of insufficiency, as long as you
maintain a mindset of inadequacy, you are struggling with your personality-you
are not positioned to meet with opportunity.
This is why you
need to start with acceptance. To accept is to consent. So many of you are your greatest enemies. You constantly
demean and diminish your characteristics, you are always focused on the next
person’s personality-what about your own identity? What about your destiny? Why
are you so focused on another person’s journey? Don’t you realize you are
stalling your progress from beginning? When you take the lens away from your
originality, there is only room for duplicity. And the danger with duplicity
is, it never produces prosperity. It just doesn’t-because it is not equipped to release destiny. What is equipped is
your personality. That wide grin you have, those large ears, that pointy nose,
that deep voice, that quickness in speech, those artistic thoughts-you are a
packaged presentation ready to be released into destiny-so stop fighting with
your physicality, stop arguing with your mentality, stop hiding your
spirituality. Embrace it. Be who you
are-everyone else is taken. I heard that quote once and it is so adequate
for this-honestly, just stop it. I understand the struggle to be relevant but
you have to choose to be yourself every time-unless you don’t make enough
impact to last through the seasons and opportunities you may meet at the door
of progress-perspective is key.
What is
perspective? Perspective is basically focus. So what are you focused on? A
couple more followers? A little more recognition? It all begins from you-what
do you want to do-do you want to last? Or do you want to spend your life
chasing paper planes that never make an impact? You are the only permanent part
of a changing society-and the gift you contain is in your identity-it contains
the power to adapt to every new reality. That is why you have to start at the
point of acceptance-that is truly where the path begins to create a lasting
reality.
Accept
yourself-it will open doors locked with the key of your characteristics.
