You Are Free To Be Yourself (w/Tehana Ranatunga)

Unfortunately, we live in a time where it is still not that easy to be yourself.

With social media, where everyone shows how picture perfect they are and with people still telling you about who you should be and how you should look, it is not hard to lose your identity in the midst of it all.

Tehana Ranatunga admitted that she too felt as if she was less than, unqualified and not good enough.

As she was comparing herself with other people, she felt as if there was no greatness in her.

It wasn’t until she came to Planetshakers church where she was surrounded by people that would encourage her that she realized that not only there was enough room for her to be herself but also that there was indeed greatness in her too.

“There was a necessity for me to be me. The world needed ‘me’ because no one else could give them that.” — Tehana Ranatunga

Find your identity

Tehana Ranatunga’s advice to the next generations or to anyone that desires to live an authentic life as the people that they were created to be is to simply focus on your own identity.
