Just As I AM…Journey To Find Your True Identity!

JusMee
Just as i am

Just as I am, what does it mean? Is it okay for me to be different? What does it mean to accept me as I am? The questions above are just a few of the ones we all face now and then.

The older we get, the more we start to question our identities. Is who I am the person that I want to be? 

As important as these questions are, they can also be overwhelming. Accepting who you are can be challenging, especially when you aren’t used to being yourself. 

No matter how it may seem, you do not have to answer all those questions at once. Instead, take it one step at a time.

But as much as these questions are important, they can also be overwhelming. Accepting who you are is hard, especially when you’re not used to being yourself. 

Even though it can feel like everyone is asking these questions at once, you don’t have to answer them all at once. Instead, take it one step at a time.

What does it mean to be just as I am?

What does it mean to be yourself? Accepting who you are can be challenging, especially if you compare yourself to others and what they wear, say, or look like.

You lose sight of yourself as long as you obsess over what others are wearing, blogging, tweeting, or Instagramming. It is important to remember that you are not alone and do not have to compare yourself to anyone else.

Find your own identity

Achieving your own identity means going beyond the norms of society. Try looking for your unique characteristics rather than comparing yourself to others.

See yourself as an individual rather than a member of a group. As you begin to see yourself in your own right, you become less influenced by society’s stereotypes.

For instance,

A young woman was always told that she was too fat, ugly, and shy. She believed it, too. So much so that she spent her days hiding away in her room, eating junk food and watching TV.

One day, she decided to make a change. She started by going on a diet and working out. And slowly but surely, she began to see results. She lost weight and gained confidence. 

The best part was that she finally began to believe in herself. She realized that she was worthy of love, just as she was.

Don’t compare yourself to others

Comparing yourself with others can demoralize you. Rather, learn from the experiences of others. 

However, this does not mean you should ignore other people; instead, you should not compare yourself to them. Through learning from others’ experiences, you will find your path.

Celebrate your uniqueness

Take pride in who you are as a unique individual. When you celebrate your uniqueness, you begin to see yourself as an individual rather than part of a group.

Conclusion

The importance of finding your own identity and not comparing yourself to others cannot be overstated. As a result, you can begin accepting the person you are as an individual.

 We all have our own identities, so be sure to respect and appreciate yours. Being proud of who you are as a unique individual begins when you discover your own identity and stop comparing yourself to others.

The Conqueror: 1 Why You Should Never Give Up?

JusMee
The Conqueror?
modern city skyline with interchange overpassThe Conquero, When you think that you are weak and can’t handle the challenges in life, think again. Think again when you don’t believe that you can succeed at something. When you feel like giving up, think again. 

The Conqueror, You are not these things, and you are strong, capable, and courageous. You have the power to overcome all hardships and challenges. You have the power to conquer all fears. You have the power to change your life. 

The challenge you face is not the challenges themselves but believing in yourself and your abilities to overcome them. The conqueror you see within yourself is the key to succeeding in life.

 You don’t have to let challenges, failures, or adversaries take away that conqueror. You can keep your faith, your hope, and your courage. Keep fighting and never give up. You are:

The conqueror of your difficulties.

The conqueror
Summer in the Dolomites

  • The winner of your challenges.
  • The shining star of your adversities.

What you can conquer in life

Many things in life are out of your control. What you can control, though, is how you react to them. It is important to realize that every situation has a way of working itself out if you allow it to do so with patience and calmness. 

The most important thing in your life is your health. Protect it at all costs. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are not healthy enough to provide for yourself, contact someone you trust. 

It can be your parents, a relative, a friend, or a trusted associate. They will know how to find you a job, care for your needs, and make sure you are safe. And most importantly, they will make sure you eat.

What you can’t conquer in life

We all have fears, but it is important to realize that they are not reasons to let go of your dreams. So if you are afraid of flying, drive instead; if you are afraid of heights, then walk up to the edge because there is nothing you can’t do. 

It is not what you fear but what you do about it that matters. Fear is the emotion that tells your body to stay in the state of fight or flight. 

Fear is a survival instinct. It isn’t something to overcome, and it is something to recognize and then conquer with your actions. 

Once you realize that your fear is an emotion and not a fact, you can choose to do something else. You can choose not to let it hold you back from doing what you want to do in life.

The key ingredient to overcoming

You can overcome anything if you are willing to work for it. It doesn’t matter if your challenge is physical, such as lifting weights, or a mental one like learning to believe in yourself.

 You can overcome all challenges if you are willing to work. You don’t have to find a challenge that is easy to overcome. You have to find challenges that are worthy of overcoming. 

Challenges are nothing more than tests set up specifically to show you your weaknesses and strengths. If you don’t apply yourself, you will fail no matter what you are given.

Don’t let the voices of doubt tell you that you can’t

Most people let the voices of doubt tell them that they can’t do things. But it would be best if you told the voices that you can do whatever you want to do. 

Your mind is powerful, and it is the doorway to your soul. So if you want to be something, tell your mind that you are that person. If you want to be successful, tell your mind that you are that person. 

If you want to be loved, tell your mind that you are that person. You can tell your mind whatever you want it to be because it is a part of you.

Conclusion The conqueror

Life can be challenging. We are faced with many adversities and obstacles that seem so large and impossible that it is difficult to believe that we can overcome them. 

The challenges and adversities that we face in life are designed to challenge and improve our character and abilities. 

When we are faced with a challenge and feel that we cannot overcome it, we must not give up. We must find a way to overcome adversity and realize our full potential. 

Life is a challenge, and the best way to overcome challenges is to be resilient, persevering, and push yourself to your limits. You can overcome anything if you are willing to work for it.

The conqueror REVIEW

There are many obstacles and challenges in life. They are designed to test our limits, strengths, and weaknesses. When we feel weak, scared, or overwhelmed by a challenge, we can look within ourselves and realize that we can overcome it. 

A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.

Gautama Buddha

If you feel weak and defeated during a challenge, you must look within yourself and realize that you can overcome it.

Mysteries Of The Mind:Is A Curious a Thing!

Mysteries of the mind

Mysteries of the mind do you ever wonder about how it works? How can we remember specific details from years ago but then forget

Do you ever wonder about the mysteries of the mind? How can we remember specific details from years ago but then forget what we were saying a moment ago? 

The human mind is a curious thing, and it’s full of hidden mysteries waiting to be explored. 

What do you think about when you’re not thinking about anything in particular? Do your thoughts ever take you on a journey to someplace strange and interesting? 

Why can some people stay calm under pressure while others feel like they’re about to have a panic attack? There’s so much that we still don’t understand how our brains work. 

My Brain Injury

Doctor with face mask

My life changed when I passed out and hit my head on the floor in 2008. At first, I didn’t realize that something was wrong. 

It wasn’t until two years, in 2010 later, that the symptoms began to surface, and I was diagnosed with – a traumatic brain injury caused by falling on my head during an episode of blacking out (fatally). 

Since then, life has been different for me; nothing feels quite right anymore— I don’t feel like myself anymore…I developed a Jamaica accent and most other things about myself, like handwriting and speech patterns – basically, everything changed such as…

  • Personality changes 
  • The processing and understanding of information changed. Simple things no longer made sense.
  • I suffered from social anxiety, irritability, anger, depression, feelings of overwhelm, general anxiety, mood swings, or emotional lability (teariness).
  • Stress seizures (my brain shuts me down if I become overly stressed. 
  • Most of the time, I feel like a different person.
  • It is now 2022-very little has changed. So, I take it and deal with it.

Scientists are making progress every day, and they are learning more and more about the amazing things our minds are capable of. 

Allen Institute for Brain Science

If you ask Christof Koch, Ph.D., Chief Scientist and President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, how close we are to understanding our brains.

“We don’t even understand the brain of a worm,” Koch said.

The lab roundworm, more technically known as Caenorhabditis elegans, houses 302 neurons and 7,000 connections between those neurons in its tiny body. 

Researchers have painstakingly mapped and described all those connections in recent years. 

And we still don’t fully understand how they all work synergistically to give rise to the worm’s behaviors.

Humans have approximately 86 billion neurons in our brains, woven together by an estimated 100 trillion connections or synapses. 

It’s a daunting task to understand how those cells work, let alone how they come together to make up our sensory systems, behavior, and consciousness.

What is the brain made of?

The brain consists mostly of gray matter and white matter, brain tissue and its interconnections or bundles of axons. 

Look more closely at the former, and one can distinguish neurons and glia (the other kind of brain cell). But we’re far from understanding all the types of neurons and other brain cells at the level of what they do.

What will it mean to understand our brains? 

When we think about understanding something, we often think about being able to explain it in a relatively simple way. 

In science, researchers in other fields look to physics as a model of understanding, said Koch, a former physicist. 

The physical world lends itself to abstractions that can be boiled down to (relatively) simple equations.

But what if biology doesn’t? The more Koch and others at the Allen Institute study the brain at a large-scale, looking at many or most cells in the brain rather than just a few, the more they realize that even the parts of neuroscience they thought the field had nailed down are more complicated than anyone had realized.

Conclusion:

 So, there you have it. . A human mind is a fascinating place, and there are still plenty of mysteries waiting to be explored. 

Let me know what you think.

Why I Hate Florida Gov. Ron Desantis New Guidelines?

JusMee

 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed new guidelines involving race-baseddiscussions in businesses and schools as part of his campaign againstcritical race theory, which he called a “pernicious” ideology.

I’m not sure what’s funnier, the fact that Ron DeSantis had to sign new guidelines involving race-based discussions in businesses and schools…OR the fact that he put his signature on them.

 If you’re one of those “politically correct” snowflakes who think things like this aren’t racist, you probably won’t find this very funny. 

But for the rest of us who realize that there’s a big difference between actual racism and calling out people when they act like idiots, we can see the humor in it all. 

Is this the start of a new era for race relations in America? 

You’re probably wondering how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to stop businesses from discussing race relations with their employees. 

When you cross an outspoken conservative with a new set of race-based guidelines for businesses, what do you get? 

If you’re Ron DeSantis, you get a signature on said guidelines. Critics are already labeling the move “political correctness run amok,” but what do they know? 

This is Florida, after all. We’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out, anyway…

What kind of crazy-ass ideology is this bullshit. Does this make sense? Hell to the NO!

The sins of your forefathers are your damn birthrights; just as everything else you inherited, all of your wealth built on the backs of SLAVE labor.

Stop all of your damn whinings and complaining about white people are inherently racist. Truth be told…some of you are rotten to the core of your soul! If the shoe fits…own it…wear it.

 To that end…Many of you people should feel guilt for past aggressions committed by your ancestors. Why? 

Because as history has shown us, the race did determine a person’s status as being privileged or oppressed back then and still does today!

The attacks of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are unbelievable!

“DeSantis announced Florida students would not have oppressive ideologies imposed on them, as the bill provides “substantive protections” for students in grades K to 12. “

He said “pernicious ideologies” would not be allowed.

The nitwit has announced that he will not use tax dollars to teach our kids how to hate this country or each other. 

However, he stops short of clarifying the skin color of children who will not be taught African-American history if it is only seen through the eyes of oppression and racism? 

Surely you aren’t speaking about children of color! They already know what oppression and racism are; and where they come from.

Without a doubt…it’s all about whiteness.👎🏽

To be sure…his motive against critical race theory isn’t just an attempt at rewriting the black past but also to soften any blow delivered by vicious crimes committed upon African people by their white owners.

The beating, rapes, and fathering of children with slave women… forbade them from learning to read or write, coupled with splitting families by selling them for a price.

 Why? You know—-CONTROL.

Comparatively, what the Republicans are attempting today is uniquely the same horrific insidious actions taken by buffoons in charge yesterday. 🤬

Gov. DeSantis’ your abhorrent Black attack policies will strengthen us; we are sick and tired of listening to your distorted ideologies…you are morally bankrupt.

In short, you all can’t rewrite history! What is done, and no matter how hard you jackasses try, you will not succeed in reversing the stains left behind by your ancestors in history.

Question: Have you considered how this makes the black and brown people feel? You are trying to downplay our history, stories, and prospects.🤯 … Continue reading

Intimate partner violence (IPV)…let’sTalk

JusMee

Intimate partner violence Intimate partner violence (IPV) …my family was dealt a devastating blow when we lost an integral member to it. 

My great-niece became an orphan thanks to her father’s murder of this child’s mother and suicide right afterward – but it could have been so much worse since she was in the house.

The sad situation is that this little child was home when her dad murdered her mommy. Unfortunately…This moment will become something she needs to deal with for years, maybe even decades.

Who knows, the awful circumstances that led up today? 

There has been some recent trouble between them at home, but none would explain why he committed such vicious crimes.
