Hey everyone! How has your day been? Drop a comment below, I would love to hear how your days have been!

Today I felt like writing. I wasn’t sure about what exactly but I thought “Why not the mind?” but then that was a bit of a broard spectrum of things to cover! So, I have decided to talk about all the different types of strengths, weaknesses, gifts and personalities, that make up an incredible variety of people I know.

I think finding out what makes a person tick facinating. I don’t know why I do but I love it! I love knowing the inner workings of how people think, why they do the things they do, why they like the things they do. I love watching videos on body language and just fun facts about the brain. In short, I love knowing the context of people and other things in the world.

Humans are amazing! So complex but so intended, if that makes sense? I really don’t think humans are existing because of an accident! Surely there is more to this… right? As a Christian, I do believe we aren’t! You, yourself might believe in a creator or you might not, this post isn’t me forcing my beliefs on you, it is just a “My mind is blown” ranty thing?

Surely we have a purpose? I mean we are all uniquely made, we have different thoughts, gifts, strengths and weaknesses. The first of my blogs that I had, was called Uniquely Me. The blog kind of got lost in the chaos of life, but I have never lost my enjoyment of writing and using it to express myself and the thoughts I have.

For other people, writing might not be for them. They might enjoy talking in front of a room of people or just to people in general, others might prefer a different artistic way of expressing themselves. People excel in different things and sometimes we envy others, be it for their strenths or for their talents. We fall into the vicious cycle of comparison, thinking we aren’t good enough because we aren’t like ‘X’ or like ‘Y’.

We are exactly who we are supposed to be. We are good enough. I can confidently say that somebody in your life, whether you are close or not, wishes they where a bit more like you. Isn’t that crazy? Little old me? I know I find myself falling into the comparrison trap a lot. I wish I had more confidence, I wish I was more out going, I wish I was less shy, I wish I could be and do a lot more.

I have my own strengths, my own personality and my own gifts, even though I can’t see them myself. That is why having the right people around you, to encourage you and point out giftings they see in you, is important. Now you might not agree with them, but they can see what you can’t. I really dislike getting compliments or praise, it makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need encouragement.

Recently and well, for a few months really, I have been in need of some heavy duty, serious encouragement. I need someone to tell me I am doing well, to keep me motivated and stop me from just giving up and shutting down completely. Everyone needs encouragement, it brings us up!

In the Bible it says “Anxiety in a persons heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up.” – Proverbs 12:25 (my version is the CBS translation) now, Christian or not, you totally know what this verse means, you relate to it! If a person encourages you, you get a warm fuzzy, happy feeling in your chest. You feel like you have done something good! It’s nice to hear a “Well done, you did good” from time to time!

No matter your personality, strengths, weaknesses, passions or whatever else is on your heart, you have been made with a purpose and God has a plan for your life, whether you know it or not! God sees you, he hears you and he most certainly loves you!

Stay safe everyone and have an amazing rest of your week!
