Be Happy About Who You Are
Have you found that you see yourself different then what other sees you? Does any person really know who you are and what you stand for? Sometimes we hide behind a mask and not wanting someone to know us. I know I have done this many times.
When in the work environment my co workers had no idea who I really was and most people don’t really care nor have the time to figure you out. This is ok, because opinions are just that, OPINIONS.
I can be a very sensitivity person, but with help of my hubby and the knocks in life I guess you could say my skin is a little tougher. Self-esteem has a lot to do with my thinking now days. When you have good self-esteem others opinions don’t seem to matter like they use to.
When someone would tell me something like, “You need to toughen up” I would think about it and ask myself, “Am I letting people run over me?” In the work place yes, this was happening, because I was always the nice guy. What I found out is that you can still be the nice guy, but you don’t have to be the door mat. If someone asks you to do something and this isn’t going along with your happiness within, it is ok to say no. I could be sensitive to others, but at the same time I didn’t need to fix their problems.
I being too sensitive of a person was getting in the way of my happiness at time; because I would think about past mistakes (I now call them learning experience). Having improved my self-esteem now I know that the past is the past and one needs to move on. Yes, you learn through experience, but there is nothing that can change anything!
Sometimes when I was all by myself I could really work myself up and dwelling on things from the past. Not anymore, because I either get up and do something, even if it is going out for a walk or cleaning house. Guess you might say that I have formed an attitude and this is ok. The past is over, I can learn from it, but I will not let it steal the present nor the future.
If you find that you are a sensitive person these are the points to keep in mind, so you can be proud of your sensitivity and keep your happiness within:
- Don’t be a doormat; learn to say NO if there is something you really don’t want to do. You have that right.
- Listen to other people’s opinions and see if they maybe right. If not disregard them.
- If you find yourself worrying over something you can’t change go do something fun or think of something that makes you feel better.
- Most of all; be proud of who you are and don’t think you have to be like someone else.
Yes we can all can use improvement (which I call growing), but don’t let anyone’s opinion of you take away the real you.
Stand proud and like who you are! You are unique, because there is no one like you.
To your happiness within,
Debbie

Hi, Debbie! I love your tips especially the last one. I agree with you that it’s important to be proud of who you are. In addition, I think that it’s important that a person knows his underlying values and passion. These would help him focus on the positive aspects of his life. As a result, a person can experience true happiness.
You brought up a good point and that is underlying values. We always have to stick by our values. When we give them up we give away part of ourselves. And with out passion life can be pretty boring.
Thanks Dawn and have a very happy day and don’t forget to laugh alot.

This post was extremely interesting, particularly since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last This.
I am glad that you found me and hope that my words do bring you some happiness.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
I have found that people procrastinate when they are not sure what to do or have a fear of doing what ever it is that needs done. If it is something that I don’t like to do so I procrastinate on doing it, I do it right at the beginning of my day to get it out of the way. Just make sure you are not procrastinating because o fear.
Have a very happy day, and thanks for the comment,
Debbie
What I adore about blogs is which they spark an concept in my brain. When that occurs, I really feel as I need to comment with the hope it may be interesting to some individuals. Because there are plenty of blogs and forums with many points of view, they question your comprehension. It is at these moments when you have important insignt other people might not have had, together using the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back again to to your writings only simply because you’ve a number of very great insights and also you have been at this a very long time, that is really inspiring and tells me you understand your stuff. Keep triggering imagination in other people!
I shall give it my best to trigger imagination in other people. thank you for your input.
May you always be blessed with happiness.
