“In My Own Words” Look within self…you will be amazed at what you see.
by Shannon AskmeifIcare Cash“
Today I asked a series of questions and to my surprise, a lot of you answered these question open and honest. I appreciated the fact that you guys shared some of your stories with my FB friends and I.

Anywho……the reason why I asked these questions is because we as people often go into our own shell, feeling as though no one understands us, our pain, our struggles, our flaws…yadda…yadda…. BUT truth is…EVERYONE has them!! We are humans…..we are imperfect.

But the key is……not wondering if anyone else understands us……WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OURSELVES!!!

If we don’t understand ourselves…how in the hell do we expect somebody else to?????

Self-reflection is a very difficult thing to do sometimes. However, I find it’s a very essential thing to do to improve the quality of our lives, friendships, parenthood, relationships and marriages. When we don’t recognize our own flaws……who are we really hurting??? Depending on these flaws, I believe we are hurting ourselves, because those are the very things that can be holding us back from the life God intended us to have!!!

If we know our flaws are not allowing us to live our lives the way God intended…..guess what people…. IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!

We as people are forever changing for whatever reason…..Growth is inevitable. Regardless of how, why or who we choose to grow for, it doesn’t matter, cause the end result is peace within self.

Peace within self is what everyone looks for, but seldom achieve because we often look for others to give us peace……..but who we need to look towards is ourselves.

When you can accept your flaws, you can control them, which means you have the power over you and when you have the power over you…….you will have peace within yourself, everything you do and who you interact with……basically little to no self doubt.

We can NEVER control other people. but we can control our thoughts, actions and how we view ourselves. When you can look in the mirror and smile at your “inner reflection” that my friends is the life God intended us to have…..Peace, Serenity and Happiness in Abundance!!

But I could be wrong….but I’m just saying….
