I'm Shaped Part III


Hello all, as I conclude this series of "I'm shaped", I must say that it has helped me grow. It has given me a better understanding of who I'am. I see a need even now to accept who I am. When others "can't stand me", I can love me because God has shaped me in a unique way.

Personality

There isn't anybody in the world that has your personality. However, some may have similiar character traits, but they do not process your inner being. Who we are today is an application of the lessons we learned from yesterday's mistakes. You and I might of made the same mistakes but we have learned different lessons from it. That is why we all are different. We all think differently.

Brice Point: Since we all think and act differently, we need to accept one another's personalities. Over and over again, people run to me and inform me that "so and so" can't stand them or dislikes them. There are times when individuals inform me that others dislike me. I have to let them know that "I'm not perfect!" Who I am is an application from the lessons I learned from my mistakes. I can't help it that I come from Adam! I have dustly character traits.

Accept who you are. Love who you are. Accept who other's are. Love other's.

Experience

Experiences isn't moments in life you run from. Experiences are moments in life you learn from. I use to think that I should forget about my past and never bring it up. I thought if I can forget my past then I would be able to do better and never repeat the same mistakes again.
Question: How can you avoid future mistakes without remembering past mistakes? If you forget your mistakes then you are reliable to make the same mistakes over and over again.
Remember your experiences in life so that you can avoid some of tomorrow's pit falls.

Brice Point: Often in school, our beloved, educated teachers informs students that history will always repeat itself. "History is filled with past mistakes." It doesn't make sense for me to repeat the same mistakes that my father made in his life. My history should teach me what to avoid so that I can become greater then my history. Do not become subject to the slavery mentality where you have to repeat history. Be greater then your parents and roll models.

You are shaped and there isn't anybody who can say anything different!

Be Shaped, Be Shaped, Be Shaped

I'm Shaped

I hope and pray that this series has blessed your life as it did mines.
