HUMAN CHAMELEON

I know you might be wondering what is all about the human chameleon

Smiles, the important thing is not to focus on the title but the content.. I want you to have this in mind but before I proceed, I would love to give a brief introduction about what chameleon is.... Which I don't want to think or say everyone does

Talking about chameleon, everyone obsessed with animals should know what a chameleon is. Chameleon is that animal that has the capability to change into different colors to disguise itself from predators.
Okay now that you have an idea about the chameleon you may probably be thinking  “Why am I doing a blog post about them ”....Not exactly, but I am going to write about human chameleon just like the title says.

Now, this is not about people who change colour, but people who change their PERSONALITY. People who change their personality in order to please other people. I am guilty as I was once one of them... smiles
Having the chameleon personality would not present who you really are but would assist you in faking things a lot. Apart from assisting you in faking things, you won't also have a fixed personality because you change everytime you meet new people but do you know the funniest thing about it, it won't last long... You would get tired of it one day and the bad thing about it is that with everyone that comes in contact with you knows different personalities about you... Everyone can't see the same thing about you but at least there would be something similar about everything.

Taking a look about a sister who act like an angel around her mother, act devout when she is in church, she is a complete servant to her boyfriend and very polite to elderly people. Overall,i see nothing THAT BAD only that she is doing that in attempt to show respect but if these different groups to meet ,they  had probably would be having an argument with each other telling that one or the other group knows who the real lady is.
In truth,this sister is merely doing it to please each specific party but this is terrible for the individual.

Being a chameleon would be cool if you were able to change skin colour, I can hide wherever I want without anyone even noticing me, yet that brings up another issue when it comes to switching personalities multiple times.... You don't really know who you really are and you will not notice who you really are. You may think switching personalities all the time helps you in running a smooth world by making everyone around you having this perception about you or happy but in doing so you lose your personal self and being rolled over all the time.
Instead of even being a chameleon,you are indirectly turning yourself into a “NICE GUY/LADY”...Get me,not that I am saying being nice is bad, it is not but changing self to meet others needs that is where the bad comes in because things take a turn for the worst. Instead of being viewed as a respectable person, people will merely see you as a people pleaser who can do anything in order to make someone happy.
Think of it, have you ever switched personalities like other fellow human chameleon in order to please other people, only to reduce yourself to becoming a pet to others?. It may be in church, School, Relationship,Home,Office,etc.
It would hinder you from getting help where it is needed because they all know you as HAPPY GUY/LADY and moreover it is not a good foundation to start anything.

Sometimes its not about the flash communication. *Be yourself and make people happy not changing yourself* .
*Know yourself, bring it out* !
Never be that HUMAN CHAMELEON, you can't get anything from it.

In addition, you can drop your thoughtful comments
I love you, YES....you.

Sadly, this is the truth about many people in today's world. We have become people pleasers.
Even in our social media platforms. We live our lives for a show, such that there is no relation between who we really are and who we portray ourselves to be on social media.

Sadly, this has been the issue today in our society. We have become people pleasers. All we want is to be admired and appreciated even if it means being someone we're not.
A typical example is an average person's Instagram profile. What they show on Instagram is almost nothing Like who they really are in real life All for recognition.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
