Lord knows, I've been asked this question many many times because of my straightforwardness. I many times will ask the questions that most folks are afraid to ask. I will say what is on my mind and not mince words. My sister says I live in a state of "entitlement".
I don't quite think that is the case with me, I just think I should be able to be me.
Today I read something that puts a different spin on the question, "Who do you think you are?"
Ms. Iyanla Vanzant writes, "What you believe about yourself is reflected in the people with whom you choose to align yourself." (excerpt from In The Meantime )
What a daunting statement!! This statement, if believed, makes you sit down and take a good look at the man/woman in the mirror. No longer can you feel victimized by the people in your life. What a liberating thing! We take responsibility for our own destiny! We choose how things go down based on what we think about ourselves.
Hmmmm....
I just wonder what folks will think of me now? Ha! It doesn't matter ... because I know who I am... and I know what I expect... and what I deserve... and I just do believe I AM "entitled" to it!
So, who do YOU think YOU are?
think about it....
