For far too long, and too many wrong reasons, many of us try to be someone else. We feel we need to be just like someone else is, for one reason or another. We think we need to act like them, look like them, sound like them, and work like them. But that’s a demeaning LIE we tell ourselves. The true fact is: we are wonderful, beautiful, AWESOME- as is. Oh sure, each one of us can always improve on ourselves. And we should be improving as we grow and mature through our life. BUT! We only need to improve on our current self, not become someone else entirely. Be the topper! (read on)
Nobody can be as good of a you as you can.
This Christmas, the world needs YOU!
Yes, the you that you see everyday that has flaws, mistakes, and maybe says the wrong things sometimes. (even seemingly perfect people mess up sometimes!) So why not try a new thing this beautiful Christmas season, and just be you. When you do, you’ll find it relaxing, liberating, and a whole lot less stressful.
You were NOT put on this earth to meet everyone else’s expectations. You were NOT created to accomplish someone else’s dreams or goals. Everyone has their own chance to make their dreams a reality. If they failed, it’s not up to you to accomplish what they couldn’t. It’s not about being mean to anyone, but about being honest with yourself and the other person. They should want you to become who you were created to be. And that is not to live in someone else’s dreams, or to copy what they accomplished.
Burn your own trail. Did you ever notice how the star, or the ‘topper’ of every Christmas tree, doesn’t look anything like the rest of the lights and decorations? It’s not trying to blend in, or look and act like the rest of the tree. It’s meant to be unique, one of a kind, special in it’s own way. Just like you and me are to be special, unique, and one of a kind. So………..
This Christmas, be joyful in being YOU.
After all, you were created to be uniquely you. And the world needs that you.
