SENSE OF PURPOSE...

As a Young South African woman, the colour of my skin tells u more about the opportunities i have waiting for me  http://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/does-your-skin-colour-define-you/. My teeth are a story of my social status. The size of my hips are a reflection of my mother and grandmother, the women that I look up too. My ancestral route is my past but yet a true definition of my future. My breasts are a continuous reminder of my true purpose, which is to feed, to teach, to nurture and to love another. My feet enlighten others about the journey that I have taken and how much further I should stomp towards self-recreation, self-realization, and self-acceptance.

Over taken by what the world wants me to be. From what I should wear, to what colour lipstick is appropriate for my complexion, to what dress size is considered to be sexy, to rather having a weave compared to natural hair etc.  I call that loss of identity.Not many of us even have the slightest idea of where our life journey is taking us or whether we are taking the right path. In the journey of self- realization, we need to take a pit stop. Sit down and think. Analyse your lives expectations not according to what the world considers them to be but what you consider to be pleased with.  

Walk at your own pace, you don’t have to look at who is in front or behind you because you might just trip and slower your progress. I have always excelled in comparing myself with others, but it was such a normal thing to do. Growing up with a gorgeous twin sister, though I am not bad myself, it was extremely difficult for me. We were always compared to each other, “she is prettier she could become a model”. You could just imagine what those words could do to a child.

Self-hate is not the answer,  it is time to love you for you. Self-recreation is the period of learning something new or how to embrace something old about you. It is the stage during a journey where a person tries new things and spends more time alone and really enjoys it. It’s the process of breaking down every single hateful and hurtful bthoughts that leads to self-acceptance  http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic48289.html.

i leave you with one question, Does self-acceptance of all physical and physiological flaws, help change the degree of ones love for them self?
