You're Too Tall For The Box You've Tried To Fit In

I was asked about my height recently and my response was I'm 5'9....have you ever been so tall that you just see others look so small beside you. Well I am that person, not extremely tall but enough to be noticed when I walk past. This message is out for you today because so often we downplay the way God has made us cuz he made us stand out, made us look different, made us with uniqueness that will make people stare at you when you walk in a room standing tall.

Because despite what others expect you to be beyond some unmeasured reasons God has made you just the way you are. You will be called name for not accepting what everyone sees you as, ridiculed and told how much you're missing out. But shouldn't you live a life you desire, shouldn't your happiness count. As I was growing up people kept telling me you're definitely going to become a basketball, you really have to be your height will have a great impact on the field. What if I wanted to be a musician or a dancer, should my height influence my decision to want to be happy.

This speaks to everyone going though the same problem of people owning your choices and your voice of opinion. Its time for you to change your mentality of trying to fit into a box that ain't yours. I'm sorry to disappoint you, you will never fit in completely. You will just be in it half way, one leg in and one leg almost out. May I ask you "what do you love doing?" This looks pretty straight forward alright....you may really love to travel, you may decide that okay its poetry. Why dont you give it a shot and look past those questionnaires in front of you, nobody should ever stop you from enjoying your gifts.

You may not want to say your mind out because it may look or sound awkward, but almost half or more than half your life you've lived in fear and you feel like coming out but it seems too hard for you to.

You bent the rules just to stay back, one thing I learnt is when you tell me something that dosent add up, I let you know how unpleasant that sounds especially if it's my decision to make. Believe in yourself and stand firm in this fight, dont be told you can be this when you're good at the other thing. Remember Gods plan is different from man's, you will never be the best if you dont follow your heart and your interests.

Would you be different from today and stand tall always. You've tried so hard to fit where others did, and you went as far as changing the way you speak, your dressing and your appearance just to be where you wont last. Your talent isn't just confined to what your appearances are alone. People have always made decisions for you even from a young age, when you want to go for a sport that you love, someone would have made the choice for you even our parents are influences on our choices. I wanted to make this short I believe the message has been passed....I love you allπŸ’–

Yeah right. You've got a wonderful message for us. Following our heart than those of the people around us is a must because it is our life to live not the people around us. If we are trying to fit ourselves into the likes of the people around us, we will be regretting in the end for not choosing what we want. Live our life with our own choices.

Yes always follow your heart and don't listen to anyone who always tried to say what/where you belong. It's your life so it's your choice don't depend on other people, on what they say about you. It's you, you are the one who can manage your life so always choose yourself, choose what you want to become and always choose what your heart wants.

Many times or countless times I have been told I am too short and I laughed so hard and will always reply did I tell you I didn't know, why the reminder? Many people have become so useless because they follow people choices for them without considering one for themselves. I need to save this article.

I guess I will be stuck in the box for now. I am happy but a little bit in pain because the box won't fit me. They don't know what I struggle upon living in this box because I did not tell them how am I inside the box. I should probably endure a bit more and when time is right I know I could find a box that would fit me at all.

Remember Gods plan is different from man's, you will never be the best if you dont follow your heart and your interests. - this is just so true. We ourselves need to feel our interest by heart and ask for God's guidance if it is what's really good for us.

I am also tall. I bet I'm taller han you. All you have said is nothing but the truth. Not all boxes can fit/size you, don't force it. Be yourself. As a tall and slim girl, I get lots of attention from people when I pass by. "Oh girl, you are slim/tall" At a point I had very low esteem but I grew beyond that. I got to know that we can't please everyone. If you're short they would complain too.

Our creator knows what best suits us, we are wonderfully made and everyone has something unique in his or her own way we should never be discouraged by what people say or the types of box they want us to fit in.

I'm not tall, I'm so small and I'm okay with it. People sometimes makes fun of my height and I just don't care. You're spitting facts, everything you've said are all true. We shouldn't force ourselves to fit in a box that we don't belong. Let's just live the life that we want to without forcing ourselves.

Without being forced is very true, when we are not in a place that makes us happy we dont give out full potential.......but immediately we do we become at peace with it. Thanks Jinifer

I'm not tall, hence can see what other people usually misses 😁... I'm also lucky that I have parents who did not force me nor decided my life for me..., they allowed me to be who I want to be, I feel bad though because I myself did not have a better plan for my life πŸ˜‘

It's short but meaningful.. That's true..we are always trying to fit ourselves into other peoples boxes.. Even if it's too small or too big for us.. Why look at what others have if we are blessed enough with something we can be proud of.. Btw, you are tall 5'9" 😱

When I was in school I was always on the last of the line, I hate it too when I realized that I am the highest guy in the room while my same-aged and older than me are just the normal tall they got, then they say they are jealous because I am tall. That's the thing we were born differently and I am 5'7 and my height is really building for the normal height of people in the Philippines is 5' so people are also noticing my height hehe.

I'm 5'8 tall. This cues me back when I was in University, I was told to enter a basketball game but I abstained because I'm not into it. I prefer to go with what I like.

Reading this, I realised that for some people they really can't help themselves but try to conform to other people's opinions of them while for others they just succumb to the pressure of trying to fit in and they lose themselves in the process.

People need to understand that we all have a plan, but when you begin to live someone else's life like you've said we loose out cuz that wasnt the initial plan.

We can only put on a cap that fits us perfectly and not taking another person's cap. We will only regret it when we try to fit in what doesn't suit us. God has made you who you are and knows the kind of thing you should do. Going against it might ruin your desires in the end.
