True Idenity

"be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" -dr. suess

this quote is one that had the most impact on me in my life growing up. Dr. Suess said it all, in just one short statement. Today we let so much what other people think of us affect us, when in all reality, it shouldn't. The people that truly are your friends and that truly care about you will always love you for who you are, and not who you pretend to be. When you pretend to be someone else after awhile you will lose yourself, it's unaviodable.

discovering who you are can be difficult, but what we all need to realize is that it is not who we are it is whose we are.

"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it..." -Matthew 10:39

just like this verse says, when you lose and give up your life to God you will truly find it. Therefore you will find who you are and who God wants you to be. You will no longer have to worry about what other people think of you because it only matters what God thinks about you, and He will always love you. so you can do things like act rediculous and silly, and wear every color of the rainbow...(that is what i do best :) )

so somedays we all enjoy being 5 again, atleast i do. We are never too old to take advice from Dr. Suess because i honestly believe that he says it best. We can learn a lot from remembering the things we learned when we were children...

...after all we are called to have child-like faith

the end. (peace)
