Reflection 2- Myself and I



What was the relationship with myself like?
Hmmm…let me give you some minutes to think about that…..*smiles*
Did I enjoy being me or I lived each day trying to be someone else ‘cos I was wallowing in the streams of self-comparison.

Did I talk to myself?
Well the only person who knows the truth about you better than others is you, that’s aside your maker. The need for “me to speak to me” and the need for “you to speak to you” is vital and if you don’t say the truth to yourself, you might as well remain in deception. Sometimes the best person to straighten you out is you.

Did I spend time with me?
What new things did you find out about yourself this year? To get to know someone better you have to spend time with that person.
Did I take care of myself as I should have, did I do away with unnecessary luggage, did I eat the right things, was I there for me or I was too busy to notice me and my needs.

Goals
Was I able to achieve my set goals or did I just step into 2013 without setting goals for the year? The best way to go no-where is to be goalless.

What steps did I take towards being a better me? What skills did I discover I needed to learn?  Upgrading and improvement is vital but...

What was the motive behind my self –improvement?
Self-improvement has been the order of the day; 10 tips to being a better you, How to become a better you…. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against self-improvement. It’s something I ensure I do constantly.
I just want to ask; Did I seek self-improvement just so I can be better? So what if am better and my impact wasn't felt or evident.

I shouldn't seek self-improvement just for myself alone but rather seek self-improvement to better serve others, my families, friends and my workplace. Why? Because it’s incredible to watch lives become better and beautiful by your influence.

To be a better person, you need to spend time with yourself....a constant appraisal must not be overlooked.

yspot!

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
