WHY IT MAY BE WRONG TO “BE YOURSELF”


I have a writing style called: “truthiness to self”. This style was so profound that I gave series of interviews on it. However, I stopped talking about it or promoting it for some time when I realized I was not qualified to adopt it and adopting it at that stage could be eternally detrimental to achieving my purpose for living.

I needed to discover and develop myself before I can adopt the philosophy and use it most effectively, not only for the benefit of myself, but for others too.
A lot of people will say “I am just being myself, and you have to love me the way I am” even when it is obvious they are only creating alibis to avoid working on their weaknesses.

Gold is gold, refined or not, but if it stays unrefined in the name of being true to itself, it will never be of any value; moreover, the price will be reduced and it can never be used for its purpose by staying  unrefined. This is exactly what people do to themselves, whenever they admit being themselves when they haven’t discovered and developed themselves.

This is the reason why the majority of people have relationship difficulty both intimate and inter-personally. More so, this set of people will never achieve their dreams and purposes in life, should they remain like that. They are only being true to their undiscovered and undeveloped self, much like unrefined gold.

The ongoing #SOSADM revealed a lot about this, as many of the students agreed that their personality disorders make them unique, whereas, the truth is exactly the opposite.
Weaknesses don’t make people unique; it only makes them uniquely stupid, until they decide to discover and develop themselves and why they do things they do.

This discovery and development involves knowing your potentials, passions, talents and how to put to the right use. More importantly, for this to be done most effectively, and for a person to arrive at a state of being developed, when he/she can now be true to self, admitting and working on one’s weaknesses and disorders is key, without that, there is no hope.

Just before you say you are being yourself, you may need to answer these questions:
Who are you and why are you who you are?
Can you be yourself without knowing who you are?
Have you discovered your personality weaknesses and worked on them?

If your answer to any of the questions is NO, then it is inappropriate to say you are just being yourself. The philosophy of truthiness to self is simply not for you to adopt, except you want to ruin your own life.

However, if you wish to get to that level where you will be able to adopt that philosophy for the benefit of yourself and many others too, I suggest you register for SOSADM (Science of Self-Discovery And Development).

SOUL'E RHYMEZ POETRY COMPETITION SEASON1

POEM 1 And Divinity Wept Love I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave. His heart of love made him endure the cross, For he died that he may redeem man from loss; Being divine his blood made man as pure as a dove Even in death, still in his heart was love....

THE RUDIMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Image
Let ’ s start by knowing what we call Communication. COMMUNICATION As food and water is crucial to human survival, so does Communication. Communication pervades every human activity, man cannot do without it. We are engrossed in it from the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to bed in the night; from birth to death we are in perpetual state of communication. It is a phenomenon that cuts across the daily activities of human beings. In fact, the pervasive nature of communication makes it impossible for us to ever refuse to communicate as long as we are living. Hence, the axiom; “ we cannot not communicate ” comes into place. In view of the above, one will see that communication is very important to man. It is a cord that binds every part of the society together. Human activities and achievements have relationship with communication whether one expresses himself verbally or through non-verbal means, even when a man is presumed silent, he is in a way ...

HOLINESS AND VIRGINITY

Image
Talking about virginity to some people, you are indirectly talking about holiness, but have we ever tried to ask what the differences are? Does virginity have anything to do with holiness? Maybe we just don’t define them rightly. Now let’s define them. According to Oxford Dictionary, holy from which holiness is derived are defined as follows: 1. Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred. [Old English: related to *whole] Let’s talk the meaning of virginity just as well. Virginity means remaining a virgin and according to Oxford Dictionary virgin is defined as follows: 1. Person who has never had sexual intercourse. 2. (The Virgin) Christ's mother Mary. 3. (The Virgin) sign or constellation Virgo. —adj. 1 not yet used etc. 2. Virginal. [Latin virgo -gin-] All the above definitions of virgin points to one thing: natural state of something; a state of not being utilized. ...
