“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do you ever get tired of trying to please everybody, only to find that in so doing you’re not being yourself and that in the whole trying to please everybody process, you end up being miserable? Been there, done that. I have tried to be, say and act, many times opposite of how I felt just to appease my friends and family. I’ve put on the mask, played the charade, only to find myself miserable which ended up making everyone close to me miserable as well.
Not being who you really are, or who you were created to be can and will eventually bring you to a breaking point. Look, you were created in the image of God. You are unique. You are special. There is no one else like you on the face of the earth. You are who you are and you need to make the most of it.

I couldn’t agree more. I think we loose a major part of us that makes life so grand and that’s passion. You have to have the trinity in your life but if we loose our passion to do things we love and the love of life then we fail to do what we were placed on this earth to do. And when you combine that with your true self then you can reach limitless possiblities.
