Living through a Perspective

It took me long time to see things through my own eyes rather than someone else’s eyes, what I mean by this is, when you go out to the mall or anywhere else, when you get dressed do you dress according to what other people will like, or what you like? For some people this is not an issue, but for some it is.

Me, personally dealt with this for years, everything I did, I did through other people’s eyes and didn't even knew it, like what they would like me to act like or be like, and that took so much energy and mental energy, it took away the essence of me.

The reason for me why it took so long to stop being what others want me to be is, I never had anyone to help me, like I didn’t know who I was so if I didn’t know how can anyone else know? Because what I show them isn’t really me. It wasn't until I met Jesus that I began the process of discovering who I am and what life is all about.

(I’m not trying to convince you of anything or convert you, this is just my life, my perspective and the way I live it. I just want to help people and let them know their not alone, and that there is hope. this is my life and let people take whatever they want from that)

When I met Christ it still took awhile, but I was in the process and being in a process is better than being on the sidelines…

When it became clear to me what my value is and who I am, the value other people put on me really doesn’t affect me anymore, the way other people see me doesn’t change who I am.

My advice for you today is: Slow down, take a step back, begin to de-clutter your mind, dig in your mental health, your emotions, everything, it can get pretty messy, but once you know what you actually like and dislike, and what you really wanna do in certain situations, it’s then when you can implement the changes that needs to be made. Don’t be afraid to be the person you were created to be, not everyone will like you and that’s totally OKAY, smile and move on, be kind and show compassion ( One thing I also learned in my journey) be the change you want to see in the world.
