Keys to Believe

My Black History Month Blog...

Being me is not as glamorous or as charming as the world would have me be. Some of the outside world would have me to believe that who I am is not enough and would need some adjustments in order to be "okay".  And because of that constant brainstorm it is easy to become discontent with who I am.  It would be easy to go with the flow of not loving and believing in myself; and to doubt God's beautiful creation. Me.

Well I can't blame the believe and doubt game totally on the outside world because it has been a fact of life throughout my life with family and  close friends.  It's a fact that some family and friends still believe they need to change who they are to be accepted and that I too need to change who I am in order to be accepted by society or even by them. Change is a part of life and we all make personal changes in life when we are so blessed to get them.  Maybe deep down within me this type of reasoning is why I have never been a sociable person.  I have always felt uncomfortable in certain circles as I reflect back. My mind was programmed to think that I was wrong in some ways such as: my complexion, my opinions my total appearance and in my self-expressions.

I grew in that mindset and lost a lot of important opportunities in my life.  It kept me so pressed down until life was just one big complication after another. The answers that I needed to move forward in life were there on the inside of me all the time but at the same time I had my doubts about them.  Doubts if whether I could perform a task, capable of finishing a project, enter a rewarding challenge, just anything worthwhile.

That is why I will always believe that when a person doesn't care to take the time to know who they are and accept who they are they will never find love, peace, happiness or any kind of true personal success. Accepting who you are is the key to peace, self-love and freedom.
