At this stage of your life, do you know who you are? Have you decided what and who is important in your life? All of us need to know ourselves, to look at our inner selves and see what really matters to us. Are you happy with who you are? Do you like and approve the things you do and say? If you don't, only YOU can change yourself.
Sometimes we might act as though we are different from what we really are inside. This causes confusion and slows our journey in finding our purpose in life. I speak from experience. During my 20s and 30s I tried so hard to be tough as I acted and spoke in ways that even I didn't like!I thought this would keep others from taking advantage of the soft person I was inside. It didn't; the result was that I did not like the person I had become. Being disappointed in others is bad enough but to be disappointed in yourself really hurts!
I thank God that I finally learned to be ME and this helped me to grow as the person I was and am. I got to the point of wanting to be the one that God saw in me and that was a BIG step forward! As I near 80, I strive each day to act and speak the way I should. I am by no means perfect but my change of attitude about myself helped me get on with life as I learned that life can be an exciting challenge. We will have problems as long as we breathe but I know the One who will guide me out of the valley as I enjoy the gift of another day! Join me, won't you?
