You are who God has created you to be.

Most of our worries and frustration today are simply because we allow time and society to tell us what we worth, instead of making time and society know our worth. Most live their lives like a robot controlled by a system. And when they seem not to be moving with the crowd, they become frustrated. The system tells them when to be in school, how long to be in school, which kind of work to do after school, who failed and who succeeded, what age to marry or what kind of person to marry, among others.

Life, however, shouldn't be lived like that. People who live like this are rather ruled and "used" by those who have control over time and over the system. Our frustration is not because we failed or because we aren't good or beautiful enough. Our frustration is because we've allowed systems and time to tell us who we are and what to do instead of telling the system and time who we are and what we will do. I call the latter, purpose and planning.

Purpose is who you are, how you are and what you were created for. Planning is deciding when to do what. You may not be sure of what you were created for, but knowing who you are and how you are, is enough to lead you into discovering your purpose. Remember that how a product is shaped or made isn't different from what it's to be used for.

Never allow society and time to define you. Instead, tell society and time who you are by your way of life. You are who God has created you to be and not what society says you are. Let the Christ in you bring out the best in you.
