People, life, media, society, even yourself may have said that you were too much of somthing to describe who you are.
I have been told that I am too sensitive, too emotional, I hold onto things, I am too shy and come off as snobby, I am stubborn. There are so many ways to look at yourself and say why am I this way, why am I not the way that I should be.
WHY? Why do we have to look at ourselves and see only the negative. God has plans for us and he knows exactly who we are AND HE HAS MADE NO MISTAKE in making us who we are and the way we are. Stop viewing EACH OTHER negatively. I know it is so easy to categorize others but we need to try to see others and ourselves for the gifts God has given us. Try to look at yourself and others and see what has God given to them, the gifts not burdens he has planted in them to better the world around them, and you.
Because I am sensitive and emotional I am gifted with the ability to see others when they are suffering, hurt, happy, excited, depressed, alone. I am aware of others feelings. I am a worrier, I worry about hurting others, I worry about what others think, I worry... I am touchy and get hurt easily. No, I am gifted with the ability to be compassionate and consider others before myself. I can be selfless and realize others must come before me. Because of the gifts God has given me I can be what others need when they need it. A friend, a shoulder to lean on, a quiet listener. I can be for others what they do not have in themselves. I can be a strong friend, a hard worker, I can be passionate, I can be the person others turn to. I can do more, and be more than I think I should be.
Look at yourself. The things you might feel need to change or what others have told you that you need to change and realize how you can turn the negative into a positive. This may take work to get there. It may take realizing there are things that we need to change to achieve who we are meant to be. Changing our negative attributes into positive attributes to help and change the world around us.
Are you loud, direct, stubborn. You know what you want, when you want it, and how you want it. Do you need to change or do you need to realize your potential? Are these attributes of a selfish person or are they attributes of a great leader? Someone who knows how to stick to what needs to be done, are able to manage others by being able to be direct with what needs to be done? Someone able to tell the truth even when it hurts.
Are you sensitive, cry over everything, hold your tongue, let others walk all over you? Or are you someone who is tuned into others feelings enough to realize they are in need? Are you the person who is able to let people get what they need even if they do not realize they need it? Sometimes to help others you constantly put their needs above your own. Are you the needed friend, the person who can handle others burdens when they cannot hold their own. You help others walk through times when life is to much to handle even when they do not realize they NEED you to keep walking.
Yes I am emotional and sensitive. I can see others pain.
Yes people can view me as shy and timid. I can observe the world around me without words.
Yes I worry. I can be considerate of others, I do not want to hurt others.
Yes I can be every word you can throw at me. But I know I am gifted by God to be exactly who I am where I am. To change the world or to just be in the right place at the right time for the one person who I don't even realize needs me.
There is a friend who has helped me to learn that even if only one person shows up when you are expecting many. Maybe, just maybe God has placed you there to touch the life of that one person. They maybe struggling, the worst day, a day when the only things helping them to make it through is your presence... And you may never know. God has placed you where you need to be to touch the heart of that one person.
You may make the difference in someone's life by just being the person you were made to be.
By using the gifts God has given you. Stop using hurtful words, stop surrounding yourself with hurtful people. Realize your gifts, the gifts God has planted in you, and let them grow, CONTINUOUSLY. Always search for ways to grow your gifts. No more hurt, no more negativity, no more pain.
Special thanks to some special women who have impacted my life and helped me to realize my gifts and helped them to grow. They are part of the inspiration for todays writing.Love you always Veronica, Kim, and Sabrina!
With Love, Beautiful
