What happens when we attempt to fit into areas in life that are not made for us?
Like skinny jeans, we have to find the right brand and fit that complements our shape.
With so much access from social media, we have to guard our minds from wanting things that are not for us.
You look at a picture on Pinterest or in a magazine and next thing you compare yourself to the image.
That person is where they are because that is their space to fit.
Ever wondered why some things come easy to you, while other things you struggle with?
My friend its like those skinny jeans.
Just because we weigh the same amount and are the same size doesn’t mean it will automatically fit both the same.
One person may have longer legs, smaller waist, high waist or even be more curvy.
From the natural eyes it appears we can fit into the same things.
You must be comfortable with your skills and abilities.
It is dangerous to assume that you can do what another person does, without having all facts about them.
Being a mother of seven I have had the privilege to see seven personalities daily.
Although some of them seem close in temperament, their flow in life is opposite.
How foolish it would have been for me to look at them and assume they can do what the other one does, because they have the same DNA.
The same way my children were similar in attributes, they had enough opposite traits to make them individuals.
What makes you who you are?
Do you recognize your value?
Are you the one looking at the skinny jeans in the store thinking they are all the same?
Pause.
Realign your thoughts.
Begin to acknowledge how you are designed.
Appreciate how you process, rather than criticising it.
Perhaps you are not as outgoing as others, doesn’t mean something is wrong.
People will always have opinions.
What you must refocus on now is your view of you.
When was the last time you affirm yourself, rather than pick out the flaws.
Have you ever purchased a pair of jeans and the label says it has imperfections and that is how they were made.
Well just like those denim we too have imperfections that make us perfect.
You and I were never created to be a one size fits all human being.
We were made to be one of a kind on purpose.
Once you stop trying to fit into places that are not yours, you will discover the space in life that is.
Begin appreciating your one of kind self.
Appreciate those who you see.
Learn from those you admire.
But never relinquish the awesomeness at just being you.
No one can fit those skinny jeans the way you do!!
