Being happy is a choice and so I
have decided never to have a blue day this year. Yes, I would be happy, cheerful
and bubbly every day of the year 2013.
I have a melancholy personality;
I am creative,
respectful, analytical, and thoughtful. Melancholies are ‘thinkers’. We are
very careful with our actions because we’re sensitive to our needs. These are
our strengths. But you see, the coins have two sides and so if we have
strengths, we also have weaknesses. We tend to depression; we are frequently
moody or gloomy; very sensitive; easily hurt and weighed down when things are
not working as we planned. Melancholy personalities have the tendency to be
suspicious, critical, and pessimistic.
In the past I have battled with the weaknesses of being
melancholy, I hated my personality and isolated myself. But over the years, I
have learnt to overcome these weaknesses. God did not make any mistake when He
made us. I have learnt that it is ok to be a Melancholy so far you are living
out of your strengths and not the weaknesses.
A lot of people are in denial and do not believe in temperaments.
But I believe God created each of us with our natural temperaments so that we
can complement each other. He expects us to grow under the influence of his
spirit.
If you have a melancholy personality like I do, we need to
make a conscious effort to walk daily in Joy, Patience and goodness and do not
take everything to heart. Focus more on the strengths of our personality.
Your life is designed by you, so take responsibility for
it. We may not have control over the actions and behaviors of others but we do
have full control over our choices.
Make it a great day everyday, the choice is yours!
