Let YOUR modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh (Philippians 4:5) Let YOUR light so shine before men... (Matthew 5:16)
The permission to be YOU
Is for you to give;
For you to do;
And for you to enjoy.
Do not be a mango tree hoping to produce orange fruits.
Grow in your own roots,
Be proud of your foliage
And become your best possible outcome
A grafted plant may provide a variety
But it loses its uniqueness
In trying to be like another
And its potential is mostly hypothetical.
Be comfortable around people who you cannot pretend before;
People who challenge the false you;
People who insist on a better version of the real YOU;
People who know who you are and push you to be who you should become...
Horn your natural skills
Brush up your God-given talents
Fan up your inborn and acquired intelligences
Share your innate gifts with the world around you...
Grow. Get better. Evolve
But by all means be true
Be original
Be You
The permission to be YOU
Is for you and ONLY YOU to give
You owe YOU to yourself...
...and to the rest of the world.
