Everyone is More than Their Imprefections

It is revealed that 70% of people suffer from a sense of inadequacy. Some would call it an imposter syndrome where we struggle with our work. Have you ever asked yourself that question, ‘Am I good enough?’ or ‘Am I pretty enough?’, ‘Am I smart enough?’ or ‘Will they like me?’ Every person may know what it’s like to be bombarded with these questions of insecurity and self-doubt.

Every day you have to look at yourself in the mirror and begin to celebrate your skin color, your size, your shape, your height, your hair, the fluffy nose and everything about you. Whenever we criticize what we have, it is like we are saying, ‘God, you made a mistake!’ Be careful of people putting labels on your life and try to make you into something that you’re not. No one can truly label you. Don’t define yourself by what people say.

Keep on saying to yourself, ‘I am more than my imperfections!’ Every people somewhere may not be proud of their character or their bodies. A part of our life may be an imperfection to some degree, but the reality is this, no one is perfect! If we truly want to face these issues of insecurity and self-doubt, we must be careful not to define ourselves by things that maybe the weakest or the inadequacies of our lives. You are so much more than what may be the weak part of your life. Our insecurities remind us of what we are not good at or whatever we may struggle with. You are more than not just imperfections but you are more than any comparison.

You are not supposed to be like anybody else. Know your true character. If you compare yourself to someone or something else, either you feel conceited and prideful or you feel low to the ground. And neither of these is what you are called to be. You are set to be unique, to see that no one story or path’s been quite like yours. The one person you can compete with is to be a better person today than what you were yesterday.

Comparison is the enemy of joy. No one wants to be miserable, unhappy or pitiful in life, so don’t spend your life trying to measure your life with somebody else. No one can do exactly what you do or have the gifts that you have. Some people, especially the young generation, keep on scrolling and scrolling on social media and think others life seems to be better than their lives. If you look at social media, it’s only a portion of someone’s life. It’s a highlight reel of our line as people post mostly the good stuff on social media, nobody puts a picture of their overdrawn bank account or stuffs that may be embarrassing about themselves.

So again, your timing, your season and your moment are distinct. Your more than any comparison. Some people will use us rather than love us taking advantage of our insecurities. You may change who you are, your lifestyle, your personality, your character just to acquire the love of someone else.

If they can’t love you for who you are then maybe, it’s their loss and not yours. Your tired of winning his affection or love, tired of defining yourself by what people say or think then it’s time for you to know your worth. Because if you know your worth you will stop trying to define yourself, whether she will talk to you or not, whether they like your picture or not, whether you got 2 followers or 2,000 followers, or whether you were invited or not. Say to yourself, you may not like me, but I like me, you may not love me but I love me. You don’t have to care what he or she says, you are more than enough!
