Ah, Dr. Seuss has such a poetic
way with words. There’s always that simple
truth in his rhyme. If only we all knew
how valuable and special we are by just being ourselves. We are truly unique. What a fantastic gift
from God.
It reminds me of a numbered piece
of art. There isn’t another one exactly
like it. And by being unique, it becomes
a lot more valuable.
“Since I am me, I tend to focus on the
mistakes I see in me. Sometimes I don’t
want to be me, and thank goodness no one is me-er than me!” This is a direct quote from … ME! I think it might be scary if someone was
me-er than me. Look out
world!
So why are we so hard on
ourselves? It’s that insecurity and
self-doubt thing that always creeps up and keeps us from seeing the great
person we are.
Do you ever feel life would be
much easier if you were in someone else’s shoes? Or do you ever look in the mirror and think,
“Wow, if only I could change a few things with my appearance, I could look a
lot better.” Some people are so obsessed
in having a different appearance that they spend thousands of dollars with
plastic surgery.
If you look close enough, every
piece of art has its flaws. But if you
stand back and see the whole picture, it all comes together as a true
masterpiece! Who really notices the
mistakes? Sometimes the “mistakes”
aren’t really mistakes. Maybe this is
the way the artist intended the picture to look. Sometimes “mistakes” happen for a reason. It
can help build character and turn into something more meaningful. Can you turn
your flaws into something meaningful?
It’s not always easy to do.
Yes, there will always be the “flaw-finders”
out there who are quick to point out what’s wrong … as if they are the
experts! On the other hand, our true friends
give us constructive feedback that can help us improve ourselves. One has to separate the flaw-finders from the
friends. When you think about it, you
probably know how to distinguish the two already. Try to surround yourself with people who want
the best for you, not those who want to put you down.
So next time you are dwelling on
your appearance, take a step back and try to focus on what you have to
offer. Be glad you are YOU! Walk around with a smile. A smile can portray a thousand vibrant
colors! See the whole picture and find
your personal strengths. Everyone in
life has something to offer to society, just by being YOU!
For you are you and I am me.
What better way for us to be!
I like who I am and I must agree.
I choose to be happy because I am me!
Even before he made the world, God loved
us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Ephesians 1:4
