Be Faithful To Your Personality

Are you more talkative than the average person?  If you are, don’t pretend to be quiet.  God made you talkative for a purpose.  If you’re talkative, then talk until everyone is sitting at your feet learning from your stories.

Are you quieter than the average person?   Don’t pretend to be more talkative.  Speak, but don’t use your words.  Use your eyes, smile, your hands, your touch, your arms, your presence, to tell them know how special they are.

Do you laugh easily?  Then laugh.  Don’t try to be prim and proper.  Don’t hide your laughter.  Laugh hard, laugh long, and laugh deep.  Whenever I speak on stage, I love it when someone in the audience laughs really loud.  Because it gives permission for everyone else to laugh loud.  And I love that because a happy person learns 1000 times more than a sad person.

So don’t hold back your laughter.  Laugh so that the sick child will find hope.  Laugh so that the frustrated friend so burdened with work will find strength.  Laugh so that the mother trying to make both ends meet can make it for another day.  Laugh so that this weary world will laugh with you.

Do you cry easily?  Do you cry at a drop of a hat?  Do you cry when it rains and do you cry when it shines?   Do you cry when the flower blooms and do you cry when the flower dies?  Don’t be ashamed to cry.   Cry with a friend who gets dumped by a jerk.  Cry with an officemate who gets scolded by a boss.  Cry with the father whose dream of going abroad was denied.  Cry with the little child who feels left out.  Cry so that grieving people around the world will never feel alone.
