Being you means
avoiding pretense, imitation and false attitudes. For you to be yourself you
must not let pride and anger control you or determine your actions. You
are yourself, you are as you are, therefore to imitate others is the greatest
sin against yourself. Every human is unique that is why you cannot be somebody
else and somebody else cannot be you.
Never allow anger and sad events control you. Whenever a person offends you,
learn to forgive. Also, learn not to nurse those hurts because it will go a
long way to affect you. It will control your thinking and your actions. It
affects the way we relate with others. Nursing hurts destroys your very
being. That is why we must learn to forgive.
Un-forgiveness only destroys your ability to think straight and to take
meaningful decisions.
Un-forgiveness
steals away your personal happiness, confidence, joy and sound human
relationship. Never let your offender win you twice, when a person offends you
he has won you by hurting you and making you feel bad, he/she wins you again if
these hurt and bad feelings determine your actions and affects your
personal relationship with others.
Consider
who you are and you will see reasons to appreciate your person and worth, but
if you consider what you have, you will be tempted into thinking that it is
what you have makes your personality.
I know how difficult this may be, try it and you'll see how it works
for you. A word is enough for the wise.
