“Be who you are”…such a simple yet complex statement.  Drawing inspiration for some, this statement can also draw inner confusion and what I find extremely troubling….the ire of friends, family, and/or the public.

Recent news documents the transformation of a man into a woman who is becoming ‘who he/she actually is’.

I have one thought, I may/may not agree with this man’s decision to ‘become’ a woman but who am I to judge?   My golden rule:  if it’s not hurting others in the true meaning of ‘hurting’, then pursue what makes you happy!  A happy you is a win-win for everyone!  Yes there are those opponents who say it in some way leads to the demise of society and the core Christian beliefs our country was built on…but wait!  Doesn’t God teach us to a) love everyone, and b) don’t judge?

This topic reaffirms many things I’ve been taught during my Christian up-bringing to my lessons regarding secrets of success/happiness:  You can’t control the actions/decisions of others but can control how you react to those actions/decisions.

As a Christian one should not judge this man’s actions to become a woman.  Instead, Christians should use this to fuel a movement of love, support, and launching of more and more programs/services/outreach programs to increase one’s self esteem/self worth/inner peace!  Embrace the bravery, the determination, the happiness, the inner fulfillment this man/woman is going through!  Is it correct in God’s eyes?  Christian teachings say no….but Christian teachings also say love this man/woman as you love every child of God.

My final thoughts on this topic….God bless you Bruce Jenner….Caitlyn Jenner!

Until next time….Destiny is your choice.
