Accept what we are...

sometimes its easy to pretend to be somebody else than to be ourselves. but there is one reality in pretending, you can't be happy when you pretend to be somebody. because the more we pretend the more we cab't be satisfied to what we have more to who we really are. accepting oneself is acknowledging the gift of GOD in YOU. no matter what you are and who you are, one thing am sure of, GOD LOVES YOU. you can only attain your great happiness when you accept your self.

I too have finally learned to like myself even with all my faults,I was always a people pleaser and a caregiver,and always trying to keep the peace,between family and friends,and was always in the background and not saying anything,letting people includeing my family walk all over me,and I meant that when I say they all told me what to do,I mean it,but not no more,I have become just like them,I take no bull from anyone,and tell who ever how it is.I have done my time,since I was a teenager and am now 65 years old,I know who I am now and like it that way.So good for you that you have learned now,what it took me all these years to learn.To like yourself.

You do have a good point about accepting who we are and where we come from in life. Although, I don't think it is a bad idea to want to get ahead. And one of the ways to get ahead in life is to think, act and dress the part of the person that you want to be. That doesn't mean you have to act like you come from a different world. You can still lead a good Christian life. But if you want to do better financially or physically then we must first think it before we can be it. I hope you enjoy your time spent here on myLot. Have a great day!

When I was going through my early teen years and puberty I was pretty lost in who I really was, I dressed in dark clothing and wore way too much makeup, and plucked my eyebrows so thin, I was nothing like I am today... Inside I am a quiet person who does not like much attention, but before I was totally different, I would even listen to music that I hated because it made me fit a stereotype better, now I hate whiny and screaming music but at that time I thought it would get me more friends haha. I am so glad I am over that stage and I do whatever I feel like I alone want to do, and I have more friends by just being the way I was designed to be, life is fantastic.
