10 Ways To Be The Best Version of Yourself

by Dottie Compton

By embracing our uniqueness, we find something much deeper which defines us

—our decision to merge our path with the path of Jesus Christ.

People strive to be different from others to gain respect, be accepted, attract attention, or satisfy their inner dissatisfaction.

King David said, “You made all the delicate inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion and woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. How amazing are your thoughts about me, O God.” Psalms 139

God crafted each person in their mother’s womb to be unique. We owe our existence to Him and not to fate. You can read more in Genesis 1:27 and Job 10:10-12.

We are special in our way. He challenges us to embrace our identity, see it as a gift from God, and use it to serve others and spread God’s Word.

Since God created us and equipped us with our unique gifts and talents, shouldn’t we use all we have, living it in line with His ways and will?

Let’s maximize our efforts by stopping to compare ourselves to others, celebrating those around us, and watch what God will do, then what happens to you!

10 Ways to Be The Best Version of Yourself:

Believe in your worth because you are God’s creation
Be a student of God’s Word so He is speaking louder than the world
Stay true to your authentic self
Be honest with yourself and others
Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable
Strive for emotional maturity
Learn from your mistakes & disappointments
Have compassion toward others
Keep growing and learning
Never give up

Develop a sense of “purpose-driven direction'” to experience the fullness of joy.

Our purpose is in what matters to God. He will clarify our direction when we permit Him to direct our lives.

Be intentional with your time, mind, and talents. Take a moment every morning to be sure you have the day’s direction from God.

Even if you go to the same job every day, find God’s purpose for you being there that day. You will be amazed by the journey He will take you on when you put Him and His desires first.

He wants to use you right where you are until He moves you into your next season❤️
