The Realist

Journeying through an endeavour of self reflection I have determined that in this last year, my personality has shifted from optimist to realist. This shift has slowly been taking place in my life, so slowly that up until approximately one month ago I was still under the impression I was an optimist.

I thank God that I'm a realist now. Some of you might be thinking why. Why would someone be happy going from a happy personality to a neutral one. The answer my friends is deeper then happiness. It's the joy of being able to use my mind to accomplish more then I had ever dreamed.

I'm now able to walk down the street and not think that everyone I see is a "good" person. Nor do I think every is a "bad" person (that type of personalty would be a pessimist). I have finally, after going between pessimism and optimism, settled down to a joyful medium.

At first, since I have mainly been an optimist all my life, I thought that the way I was currently perceiving life was bad. Though after doing the research I do about anything I'm interested in; I found out that many God fearing people in the Bible had the same personality as me.

God has a plan for all of us. Every last thing that happens in of our lives is some how persuaded by God. Whether to make a change or to not make a change he's always there in some way. Maybe God has brought me a realist personlailty because I'm going to leave soon and become my own man; and this might be the personality I need to further Gods kingdom when I'm out on my own.

What ever the reason though, I pray that it'll be used for Gods glory forever and ever...

AMEN.
