Your Authentic Self

Fear of rejection and being judged is the reason many people never release themselves to be all they can be. We begin adopting the habits and mannerisms of those around us to fit in and this peer pressure does not end after school years. In fact, I'm convinced adults yield to peer pressure more often than children.

Long ago, I decided to follow my own path and dance to my own drums. I'm an 808 girl. lol

When you live true to yourself, you'll still make mistakes, still cry sometimes, still have pain. However, you'll heal. You'll smile. You'll find contentment and peace. You'll learn to love and appreciate yourself and the life you've been given. You'll see the purpose in your existence and others will applaud you for what you add to their lives. We all need authentic people, but for that to happen, we all must choose to be authentic people. Be bold enough to be yourself. Don't become someone else's clone, or yield to their expectations. Rather, allow God's design to shine as the one-of-a-kind creation you are. Many won't understand you, but the Bible told us God made us peculiar. Who wants to be a carbon copy of someone else anyway?
