KNOW THYSELF

KNOW THYSELF

During your journey it's very important to understand who you are, as a human being ... I mean your character, your demeanor, your innate personality ... these are all the traits that make you the individual SOUL that you are.

I have known a certain very devout woman for many years. She never speaks ill of anyone. She is always so "bright and sunshiny." If she ever has any problems, which I'm sure she does, she just never shows it outwardly. She is a person who exhibits love all the time. And I have asked God, "Why can't I be like her? Why is it so hard for me to be all "unicorns and rainbows?"

Well, over the years and through all of my studies, I have come to realize that I am not that type of personality. I am of a "warrior" mentality ... always ready to "fight the good fight" in the name of justice, and all that. I'm a "protector" ... I would be the one taking a bullet for someone like her. And you know what, I'm okay with that. Once I understood that I couldn't change WHO I was, I embraced that same spirit. Try to do the same. God created all of our different personalities. Some we should accept and some we need to work on. But we have them for a reason.

I am also, at this time in my life, an empath (it changes during your lifetime). I see so much pain, and I feel compassion for almost everything ... people, animals, Mother Earth. My children think I take things way too seriously, but I can barely kill an insect anymore! When others are laughing at or judging, I am doing my best to understand. I just don't see things the same way.

So get right with your personality and who you are as a human being. Love yourself and embrace the things that make you an individual. If you're not sure what those things are and you want to explore it further, try the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment Test. You might be surprised at what you find out about yourself!
