Good day everyone. I welcome to your favourite blog - @airhawk-project blog. Today I'll be sharing the story of my two short friends with you. For this post, I'll assume their names are Karen and Joyce. (I don't want to use their real names.)
Apart from the obvious fact that you know -they are both short - my two friends have a lot of things in common. They are from the same tribe. They are in the same class. They are both beautiful. But one thing that differentiates the two of them is how they react when people call them "short girl."
Obviously, they are short but Karen hates it when you remind her how the genes she inherited from her parents have forbidden her from growing tall. While Joyce will even make jest of you before you even make jest of her.
"I am the image of God. If you're taller than me, you're too tall. If you're shorter than me, I pity you." This is the response of the Joyce.
She has come to the understanding that her own height is not her own shortcomings. She didn't select the sets of genes she inherited and she rocks it well even with her height.
Karen gets depressed often. She's always intimidated. You often see her wearing makeups and clothes that are bigger than her size. (The other girls make jest of her that she's trying to make herself feel among.)
In every gathering you enter, you will see people like Karen and Joyce. The question now is, who are you? Are you Karen or Joyce?

Do you have very big eyes?
You can't remove your eyes you know. So the earlier you accept yourself for who you are, the better for you. You have big eyes doesn't mean you are not normal. A big eye doesn't make you less human.
Are you too black or an albino?
It's funny when I see people get intimidated because of their skin colour. This is more pronounced in black people who bleach their skin so that they can look like the white girl. But I have never seen a beautiful bleaching person. Their skin starts to deteriorate. That is what happens when you fail to accept yourself for who you are. Your value starts to deteriorate.
Albinos are also humans. Everything in their body system is not different from that of a black man. So, you shouldn't feel less of yourself because of your skin colour.

Are you handicapped?
You are associated when you call yourself handicapped. Helen Keller was blind, deaf, and dumb. If she is from this place she will be on the street begging for alms but her condition was not able to stop her because she accepted herself for who she is and developed herself. Nick Vujicic is a pastor born without limbs. He refuses to accept a pitiable state. He refused to be handicapped. And he has shown me that it takes more than two hands to touch lives because he has touched many.

Are you also short like Karen?
Don't kill yourself over what you can't change. Learn to be happy. Learn to love yourself. When you love yourself you will have no option than to build yourself. You will groom and improve.
Don't be like Karen. When you fail to see yourself for who you truly are you can never perform up to your potentials. No one I'll appreciate you above the level which you appreciate yourself. People will only see you the way you see yourself.
The most happy people are those who don't expect anything from anyone. Because expectation always hurts. What a great story [email protected] love this .
@beejay2015 thanks for coming by...
I agree with you about people seeing you the way you see yourself but sometimes its really hard...
For instance, m very dark in complexion...
Growing up, people mocked me about it and this really affected me no matter how hard I tried to feel comfortable in my skin...
It took maturity and a lot of motivational talks to myself to get out of it...
I believe sometimes, not believing in one's self is as a result of the pressures from the environment...
Thanks for this though...
I love it..
@kingernie thanks for reading.
I know it is not easy to have that self confidence and believe in yourself but it is always worth it at the end of the day. Most of us did not grow the way we wished to. They mocked us for how we look, how we walk, how we talk. But the day I realized no one can make me feel bad without my consent was the day I freed myself.
Hmmm...
Thes words hit me in the right spot...
Thanks for this
Beautiful...wow!
Ones esteem is being tested when we dont build happiness for ourselves.
No one will ever appreciate you except you first do.
Nice thoughts @airhawk-project
Thanks for your meaningful thought on this @pelvis
I accept who I am and I am happy. No regrets in my life at all. I am so thankful for the blesings I have received. Thank you for this post.
@affirmation I love your name. It's powerful.
This is so encouraging! Wow, what a confidence booster, thanks alot, this is well appreciated
@rejoiceavl thanks for reading.. You're welcome.
Accept yourself for who you are. Never wish to be someone's else for you don't know their own hell.
@lordjames you've got a valid point there. Thanks for reading.
Well said. The mighty oak was once an acorn. The best way to living a happy life is to shun distractions, for they are imminent. That it rained for months doesn't guarantee the growth of plants, and that it rained for few hours doesn't make plants living-dead. Self contentment is the key to living a succesful life.
@thestronics thanks for coming by. I love your beautiful words.
U have to appreciate who you are, before others wil appreciate you, always thanking God in anyway you find yourself, he knows more better than you do....... Good write up, very nice post @airhawk-project
Thanks @juanprestige for reading
You are welcome 👍
People should learn to accept things they cannot change, be who u are.By @oseval
@oseval that's a powerful quote you've got there.
She has come to the understanding that her own height is not her own shortcomings.all we have to do is accept like how she understood and accepted.don't criticize someone for his or her shortcomings
You saw that line? Thanks @alexokolosi for reading..
You saw that line? Thanks @alexokolosi for reading..
Am happy with the way I am but that doesn't mean I shouldn't give room for improvement but these are true words love your self
@kazimyrex I love that. This is the essence of believing in yourself some that you can't know where to improve on.
The secret of happiness in life is to accept oneself. Thanks for sharing @airhawk-project and @mr-aaron
Thanks for reading sir @petoz
Some deep words right here. I am happy to have stumbled on this post. Its a good tonic to start my day with.
@kenneth1 I'm so glad you found the right dose. Do have a great day.
It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.... Self love must me highly rated @airhawk-project i love this post
@ablet19 I love your perspective on this. People may not believe you but believe and love yourself and everything else will fall in place.
That's just the ideology bro, More blood to your vain
This is really inspiring.
I am short, dark, hairy, fat but I'm awesome an I'm strong 💪 and I'm gonna do exploits.
Thanks for this.
I love your passion @seunnla... Your name tells it all, you're gonna do great things. Just keep believing in yourself.
The shot is so nice.
Please like my post..thank You
Greatt post! Power to the people, all the people!!
Do not expect anything from anyone one, and this life will be a more better place.
No heartbreaks.
Beautiful words. If I can't value myself, how can I expect other to give respect. Accepting youself as it is who you are is the first step towards your success. I had been in complexion due to many things but with time and with the help of such encouraging posts and videos, all my embarrassments and habits of thinking negatively about myself are going to an end.
Thanks for posting encouragement.
Your article really motivate me. I like it very much. People will always give you negative comment. You are the only one who take it positive and prove them wrong. Make yourself and they respect you at the end of the day. Be strong, Be confident and live with positive attitude. Very nice article. Must post this kind of stuff @airhawk-project
@thomasama.God has made everybody the way he wants them to be. You cannot be like me and i cannot be like you everyone is unique in their own way that is why God is God. Good one from you airhawk-project.
