“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ― Oscar Wilde

God created each one of us in his own image. He gave each one of us specific gifts to be used to accomplish what he wanted us to do with the life he gave us. Each one of us is God’s masterpiece. Do you know what a masterpiece is? It is a person’s greatest piece of work, as in a art. Anything done with masterly skill: a consummate example of skill or excellence of any kind: a piece made by a person aspiring to the rank of master in a guild or other craft organization as a proof of competence. – http://Dictionary.com .
Instead of being ourselves, we are always comparing ourselves to others. We are always saying things like:
I wish I was pretty like her/him.
Look at his/her physique. Why can’t I look like that?
I want to sing as she/he does.
Why can’t I dance as they do?
Look how long and silky his/her hair is. Why can’t mine be like that?
Why can’t my teeth be straight and bright white like his/hers is?
How come I don’t have the same metabolism he/she does? They can eat anything they want and never gain any weight.
I wish I was as talented as he/she is.
I would give anything to be as smart and educated as he/she is.
Why wasn’t I born as tall as he/she is?
I know if I had been given a better personality as he/she has I would be further off in life.
God breathed his life into all of us. It is vital that you be proud of yourself and realize you are one of a kind. Don’t belittle yourself. There are lots of people who are already against you. Don’t add yourself to the list. You should never feel intimidated and unsure about yourself. Book of Proverbs – Proverbs For The Modern Day – Be Yourself. Check out my website
Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Michelangelo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, El Greco, and Francisco Goya are all some of the greatest painters to ever live. However, remind yourself that God who created you in his own image and breathed the breath of life in you is the greatest painter of them all. God was pleased with everything he created, “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” – Genesis 1:31. We were the last thing God created. He saved the best for last! Be yourself and be proud of who you are God is. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” – Ephesians 2:10.
Be yourself and trust God that he knew what he was doing when he designed you the way he did and look out for the amazing future he has in store for you just as you are. – Book of Proverbs – Proverbs For The Modern Day – Be Yourself. Check out my website
