Just the Way You Are...

You’re Beautiful…Just the Way you Are!
One of the greatest gems of wisdom and advice I’ve ever received in life is…just BE YOU! Stop trying to be like somebody else, or everybody else. There is authentic, unique, true beauty in who You are.  God made us all different individuals for a reason. We aren’t created to go along with the crowd.
It saddens me when girls try to change themselves, inside and/or out, for a guy. They become a chameleon, blending into the picture of “perfection” for who they think he wants them to be. I am guilty of doing this myself. Sometimes when you like a person soo much, you will do just about anything to win their affections. Girls, it’s important to remember this though, if they don’t like you for the real you – then they don’t really like you. Instead, they have fallen in love, or like, with some fake, imaginary character who not even you know is. This leads to you making decisions based on this faulty personality, or persona.

When you don’t really know who you are, you might try just about anything to figure it out. Confusion over self-identity occurs over time, as you continue to neglect the real you. You begin to lose track of and not even know who you are anymore. You’ve built your life around what you think “he” would like you to be. Then, when the guy leaves and the relationship ends, you will feel “lost “in a sense and have somewhat of an identity crisis.  It happens every day. This is what makes some feel as though they can’t even go on after a breakup, because their whole identity was wrapped up in a guy.
It is so important to really grow into the person God has created YOU to be, and figure out your likes and dislikes, your calling and purpose. Make it a point to really spend time reading God’s word and spending time with Him in prayer to find your true identity, and who you are in Him, and all of the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place. He will establish you and build you up into the beautiful person you are, and bring the right guy alongside of you who will see and fall in love with the real you!
