This is how I like to think of myself. Like St. George slaying the dragon. Overcoming obstacles and fears. Persevering against those who try to knock me down.
I didn't always think of myself this way. I used to take what was handed to me. I used to accept how people treated me. I thought if I nodded and said yes, it would make everything ok. But people still left.
So I overcame that mentality of being who I thought I needed to be. I slayed the dragon of insecurity. I overcame my feelings of inferiority. I overcame my self-doubt. I have overcome the need to change who I am to please people. Now I am just me.
And in the overcoming, I have overcome the need to pretend. I have overcome playing different roles for the people I am with.
I have overcome the need to be anyone but me. I have overcome the feeling that I am not enough.
I have overcome the dragons that made me doubt myself and now I rest my head on the one truth that matters. I am a child of the most high God. Overcome that, dragons!
