Who do you say I am?

"Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us".

Earl Nightingale

It's a bright new day and the end of the week. Who is happy with me? I am super grateful for how the week turned out for me because, since the beginning of a beautiful week, it has been exciting for me. All thanks to God. Yesterday, I couldn't do anything on Readcash but I was on Hive curating posts in the EcoTrain community as I needed to get all done so I can do other things, but things took turns in the house as I had to supervise and get them in order. These children won't even frustrate my life 😁

It was already getting late before I could finally come to focus on this platform as I replied to comments on my previous posts and I visited articles up to 30. Then I watched a movie at 12 am and slept by 2 am. While watching the movie, I had many topics to write on and I was contemplating which one to go for as I can't write all at once but I jot the topics down so I can form a post on them.

Then, a question came to my mind "Who do you think I am?" I was thinking about this and I got some things to talk about me. Though some might get to know a little about me. I think I should add some to it to reveal who I am really.

I use to be proud of something about myself. It is that my personality is sweet and fun. I love the kind of person I am and I am forever grateful for that. I am writing this so that I will always refer back to it to remind me of who I am so that I won't change later.

When I love, I do with all my heart

Though love has been abused by so many people. They take love for granted and what they don't understand is that when you love someone, you sacrifice many things for them. It is not that you will lay your life down for them or do what you know you won't be able to stand on. When you love, would you want to hurt them? When you love, would you want to take what doesn't belong to you?

When I love, I love truly and there is no pretence about it. I don't love and behind you hating you. My love doesn't hurt others and I fully understand people even when they leave because I know not everyone would stay with you forever. If they leave, they already finished their mission or purpose and you should respect that. When they stay, then you continue learning from them. My love is just like making you happy and letting you know if I am okay with whatever I want to do so it doesn't hurt you or me. My love isn't biased and I don't look less at people because I know that we all are the same in the hands of God.

God created you and I, so whatever situation or position you are in, I will never look down on you and if we are privileged to be closer, then believe me when I say I love you.

I don't have evil intentions toward anybody.

Why would I be thinking of evil when I love you? I vividly believe the law of karma that says what you sow, you will reap. Will I want to destroy my future by my evil actions toward you today? No! I am always scared when something bad happens to anyone and so, I wouldn't want such to happen to me. This is why I am happy for everyone and do not think of harming them.

I get angry easily but not with people outside

I still can't believe something like this can happen. Yes, I admit I am hot-tempered and easily get angry but my anger is internal and not external. I tend to get angry and peevish at my family, especially my siblings but I respect outsiders because I know everyone has this craze in them but we are only trying to hide them from others even though some aren't ashamed and would vent their anger on anyone. I am not that way.

I always caution myself when I am angry with people and I let them know what they did is wrong but the anger only lasts for some minutes and I still talk to you the next day. I don't harbour hatred at all because I am always remembering the future because we might not know where we would meet ourselves. Humans are like water and so, I don't want to do things I would regret tomorrow thereby implicating my generation. So when I get angry at you, it only lasts for a few minutes and we are back again. I will never hate you. Never

I smile at everything

This is the best part about me. I love to smile even when I am angry at you. I said something some time ago that when I am angry at my siblings, they know how to get me instantly and I smile, forgetting what happened. I may not know if I offend you or you offend me because I quickly forget whatever happened and that does not make me chase you away but when you approach me with it, I smile meaning that it's okay. I don't know how to offend someone. I am gentle and do not cause trouble, so whatever that may cause any rift between us, I move away from it and act carefully. I love being respected and for that to happen, I respect you irrespective of who you are.

I wish you good luck

Everyone wants to be great and successful and I know what it is to hustle to survive. When I see you doing well, I am happy because it is never a good thing to be poor. We all want to achieve our aims and so, I wish you the best. It doesn't sound well if I am reaching the top and you are still below when I know you are also wishing to get there. I pray for people and I want the best for everyone.

I am not someone who wishes you remain poor or do not achieve the best. Who doesn't want a good thing? Everyone does. So, I am not a pretender to smile at you and frown at you again. I am not a biased person at all. Well, if you are closer to me, you will understand me.

I will never envy you, instead, you are pushing me to do better too

I have always seen people doing far better than me. Thank God for that but you will never see me envying you or trying to compete with you to get there. If you are doing better than me and I see it as something I wish to do, what do I do? I make efforts too. It's like being motivated to achieve it because I also want a good thing.

The day I realize I am hurting myself was when I saw others doing better than me and I was demotivated, instead of getting up and working hard too. I realized too that some people are actually aiming to get to where I am and to do better also. Why won't I crave good things too? One thing I will never do is go beyond my limit. I want to enjoy life and I wouldn't do what some people are doing illegally to make fame for themselves. I love being contented and praying to God to help me too.

Let me stop here as I have given you a few things about me. I have my flaws which I admit. One of them is being stubborn and doing what I set to do even if I would be disgraced in the end. Many times my stubbornness has led me to indecision about my life and I am always working to be better.
