Sometimes we try too hard to: do different things, fit in, or to please other people and in the process, lose ourselves. Today, I encourage you to be YOU, and take it easy as this new year unfolds. There may be times when you long to "fit in" or "be accepted" or "just belong" because you are may be alone or just want "to be a part of something." Even in those moments, remember who you are, who God created you to be and take it easy. Don't be too hard on yourself. Do the best you can and don't fret or stress when things don't work out the way you hoped or desired. There is always hope, so never give up.
When you consciously develop an attitude (approach) of taking things easy, then you are not easily annoyed or angered by the simplest things. When you take it easy, you may find that people get drawn to you because you often tend to become more positive and less negative about different things... and life in general. You don't have to be a "performer" or a chameleon... LOL... just be you with a good attitude. Don't force things to happen... before their time. I find that when you actually get to "fit in" or "are accepted" or "belong" it is because things fall into place naturally as you take it easy and you don't lose yourself.
Another thing with taking it easy is you are less likely to complain about everything all the time, and you stop acting like (or being) a victim of your "life's circumstances." Always remember, you are not a victim of whatever you go through or encounter but you are always an overcomer who is victorious. Sometimes you simply have to encourage yourself and remind yourself to take it easy. This too shall pass, so take it easy. It's not that different from what you have overcome in the past, so take it easy. This is a learning process or opportunity, so take it easy. Today, take it easy!
