Do you know your name?
Do you and your name get along? Have you ever sought to know yourself through your name?
Your name was given to you at birth by your parents and you grow up to be or face whatever good or bad luck that name summons on you. While some parents may be sobbing over and blaming, grounding, spanking and even denying their children for what they grow up to be despite good parenting, the name they gave them might be responsible. I remember reading one Biblical story where the name of a person possessed by a demoniac spirit was changed to cure him. So could it be that your name may have an influence on your personality, destiny, health, achievement, interest in life, and even your life span? And if this should be true, can changing your name change who and what you are?
Metaphysics which is a type of philosophy or study that uses broad concepts to help define reality and our understanding of it, could offer a better insight on the importance of one’s name. But we are not going there. However, if you happen to love or hate who and what you are, you might want to investigate your name. And then, you get married for better or for worse. If your spouse’s name means better than yours, things may improve for you; but should it mean worse than yours, you might be doomed. Maybe, besides the background of someone you are about to marry, you should also investigate his/her name, and predict if your marriage will be stressful or fruitful, will succeed or fail. For there is an adage that goes: “Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are.” In a more crucial sense, your friends are your name and your spouse. There are things about a person you will not discover until after you get too involved with them, but which his/her name can communicate to you from the start which could prevent many unexpected negativities in your life if you were wise enough to question his/her name.
If you are an expert at defining names, you may have a solid tool there to pick your friends and a spouse and to decide of your children destiny. Isn’t it a fact that whenever someone would ask who you are, you proceed first by saying your name. Oftentimes, we hear people lament that they have no luck, their life is miserable; no matter hard they try, they just can’t succeed. Some people are so wicked, hateful, violent, hostile, deceitful, and ferocious, some are good-hearted, agreeable, peaceful, welcoming, truthful, and gentle; some individuals are wise, intelligent, influential, adventurous, and etc…and some are naïve, slow, timid, soft, passive, and etc….All those good and bad characteristics that affect the person of someone may well be due to their name. A father has two sons; one comes out responsible and fruitful while the other one turns out a delinquent and criminal. If heredity played a role in their personality, they both would have been good or bad. So could it be that their names may be responsible for their different lifestyle?
Now all this may sound fictional and irrelevant, but the fact is, God had changed Abram’s name to Abraham; and his wife’s name from Sarai to Sarah to cure her from infertility; and Jacob’s name was changed to Israel. Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter and cured demoniac people by changing their names. So it really seems that someone’s name regulates his/her life. I sought and can’t find what my own name means or if it means who and what I know myself to be. So if you don’t know your name, you may look into yourself and assume what it means. I’ve read a story a long time ago about a woman who divorced her spouse because of his name and lived happily ever after. So, do you know your name? May your name be liable for your lifestyle?
