Be Who You Be # 1

Let me first start out telling you who I am.

Selfish, stubborn, strong willed, over critical, a little bit obsessive & never satisfied. 

(A bit of a diva)

 

I know what you're thinking... wow... he's a real charmer.

 (Please ladies, reframe from leaving me your numbers in the comment section below.)

BUT THAT'S WHO I AM!  That's not who you may be. However I feel like more and more often these days, we are striving and fighting to be like someone else. Someone we are not.

I had a friend and I realized the longer our relationship extended, the more and more he was trying to be me.  Even from the odd things that I did (I won't go into those) he would also do.  The way I dressed, the way I talked, and even the way I shaved my legs. He, (and maybe I should add narcissistic to my list) was looking for someone to be, because he wasn't satisfied with who he was, so he chose me.

Obviously by my first statements, I'm not the best person to emulate!

We've all done this... I have several man crushes... who I often look to their insight on how to live, but the question is, Why don't we just be who we be? (yes I know that wasn't proper english)

We will unpack this in future posts.

Are you happy the way God created you?  If not, why?  

We are created in his image, he has made us each individual with different characteristics, likes, dislikes, personalities, talents, looks, and skills.  

Let's rejoice in this!
