LETS-"PROVE A POINT"

The point we are going to prove is simple- we don't have to prove a point.

(Few years back)
Mr J to me: Are you one to prove a point?
Me: (with a smirk on my face) YES

(Presently)
Me: (without being asked) trying to prove a point is a waste of time.

The question is- what changed?
The answer: loads of things.
But I will be focusing on " trying to prove a point is  a waste of time"

We very often try to prove to others that we are who they say we are or not, or that we have something or that we can do certain things e.t.c
Now, don't get me wrong, sometimes peoples "realistic" expectations of you are good for your personal growth. My concern is you trying to show that your are something that you are not. Not; because if you were you wouldn't have to prove it.
A goat doesn't need to prove to you that he is stubborn neither does an ant need to prove to anyone that it is hard working, it is who they are, so they just simply live it out.
Trying to prove a point, asides from the fact that it's completely unnecessary, is also very stressful (stressful cos you are  living out something that isn't in you not for the sake of growth but to make a statement)
The funny thing is most times the people we try to prove things to, do not actually care, they might talk about you or appear to care, but they don't. Those who really care about your growth don't need you to prove anything, they want to see the real you so they can help you. #just_saying
Bottom line is; be you, don't try to prove points to anyone. You might not be the best person in the world, but you are you and like my friend always says "No one can live your life better than you even with your many flaws"
And don't forget that YOU are made in the image and likeness of God, there is no contesting this truth, no need to prove points. YOU are His image just live it out.

Walk with your shoulders raised high!
