Often times in this journey called life we tend to live in the truth of who others want us to be; and at the same time we neglect the truth of who we are called to be.You see you can't live for others and live for yourself at the same time. Some where in living for others and living the life others expect you to live you find yourself living a lie. When you live a lie you live in bondage, you have put yourself in a prison cell where you feel as if you are suffocating.
The only way to obtain your freedom is you have to live your truth. You have to be free to be yourself without worrying about the condemnation of others, without worrying about the disapproval of others, without worrying about others being offended all because you need to be you. Remember your truth may not be another person's truth. Often times it will actually be the complete opposite; but that's ok because you have to be you.
When I made the decision to cut my hair, at first I was worried about how others would perceive me; but a light bulb went off and I realized that I had to be me; I had to be #uniquelyme. In being myself and living my truth some may get offended; some may not understand; and some may not accept it. But what I had to come to realize and we all need to realize is that at the end of the day you will have to ask yourself will you be happy living the life others want and expect you to live or will you be at peace living the life you desire to live. I pray your answer will be the latter.
As you go forth in life you have to make sure that you are happy. It's not enough that others be happy with you; but you must be happy with you. Living in the shadows of the expectation of others will not give you fulfillment; but living in your truth (the truth of whom you are called to be), being an original, being your own unique self will bring you lasting enjoyment.
Today take time out to know you, get to know what it is that makes you smile, what makes you happy, what brings you joy, what offers peace in your life. Today bring out the uniquely you person that resides on the inside of you. Today bask in the truth of who you are!!!!!
