My Happiness Is Just As Important As Yours

I've been thinking about what to write about for a while now and I honestly don't like writing about just anything but recently I've been put in a position where if my desires were met it might make a few people unhappy, BUT I wasn't placed on this earth to make EVERYONE happy especially if it means it takes away my own happiness and desires...

“God didn’t call you to keep everyone happy. It’s good to be loving, kind and generous but you are not responsible for others people’s happiness; you are responsible for your own happiness. - @BishopTDJakes
”

I think I've lived a majority of my life trying to please people and make other people happy and that really did mean stretching myself or not seeing my own desires met which was just silly. I was always doing things to make the other person happy but what about myself? 

Some of us are holding ourselves back from going after the things we want because of Commitments, Loyalty and all other things that God has not spoken about, which is a learned behaviour that can produce ignorance and arrogance which makes no sense because those things are not of God. 

Why do we feel as though we're more important than the next person? Why is the way WE feel more important than how another person feels? If you claim that they are your friend or family why wouldn't you be happy for them if the choice they have made opens the door of happiness for them as long as it's God's will for their life? 

Imagine God having a plan for you and you turn your back on it because it makes you and others feel uncomfortable, if you've been reading your bible you'll clearly see that God is all about making people feel uncomfortable for Greatness to be birthed and Purpose to be fulfilled. 

When Mary "the virgin" became pregnant, people gossiped; Moses had to drop the 'royal' title in order to pursue the right path! Can you imagine how many people were angry at him, the Egyptians could have been shouting about how they were the ones to raise him up from a baby and expected his loyalty to lie with them but that didn't stop him from doing the work God called him to do, no matter how uncomfortable you might feel God will never leave you. 

People talk all the time, they even talk about people that are dead. You can't stop them you've just got to leave them to God. What others think about you isn't any of your business the only thing that matters is what God thinks about you. 

When God is ready to move in your life He will do it in the right season, He is a God of ridiculousness. He breaks routine to bring order into life!  

We get angry with God when He doesn't do as we have prayed for because although He's answered the prayer He hasn't done it the way you thought He would. 

“If anyone thinks he is important when he really is not, he is only fooling himself.”Galatians 6:3 NCV

Sometimes the decisions we will make in life for ourselves will not always make another person happy and I'm telling you if that person was really for you they'd be happy about anything you do that brings happiness into your life. You don't owe anyone on this earth a thing. You came into this earth alone and you will leave alone. Sometimes it takes a certain situation to see who's really 'down' for you as they claim to be. 

So put yourself first no matter how it will effect someone else, they will grow to get over it eventually, if they were truly for you they would be happy for you too...

All you have to do to change your life is change your mind!
