The world is constantly
changing and our perspectives as well are moving with the flow. Many a times we
are brainwashed and fed to believe some concepts that really have damaged our
very own opinions in many ways, I mean once in a while we need to be reminded
of the real truths, that are nothing but secrets now because they are buried
deep and we don’t really see them as often as the new concepts, new forms of
beauty, new perceptions of success, of happiness and a whole lot more.
We are
now living in a fast world that has stolen our real living, we are merely
living but running with the wind of technology, money and fame, take a minute
from all of it and breathe I want to remind you of these things, you are more
than what you have, what you own and how much money you have in your bank
account, you are more than just that. Listen here, listen to the following,
these are real truths:

| It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful, fix the inside more than you do the outside. All it needs is real love and understanding!!! |

It
doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful:
We
are living in a world that is constantly pursuing perfection, from the way we
portray the best side of life, with perfect lives, friendships, relationships,
lifestyles and everything our minds are fed to believe that everything should
always be perfect and perfect exists. We tend to struggle a lot when things
don’t go our way because our minds are being programmed that way, because we
are what we constantly feed our souls.
Perfection doesn’t relate to humanity,
we are made to have flaws, we are flawed, it is what makes us beautiful, that
flaw is part of our identity, it makes the best parts stand out and shine even
brighter. Perfect is a myth, it’s a mirage, it is a hallucination, no one and
nothing is perfect. If we get to understand this it makes it easy for us to
accept ourselves better and appreciate the best parts of us. Embrace your flaws
and be perfectly flawed, it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Hard work is not equal to success :
Yes
the statement is correct just as it is, if it was I mean we all could have been
rich and wealthy and everything, especially the African folk that works day in
and day out very hard to see the next meal. It takes more than just hard work;
yes it could make you successful in some ways because the word “success” in its
very own way is subjective, so I am not completely dismissing it but it takes
determination, financial intelligence, mental toughness, monitoring and
evaluating goals and progress, emotional intelligence, consistency, the list is
endless, I could one forever, but I think you follow where I am going with
this. I know this is a subject of argument and we all have our own story to
tell and that’s a very conducive place to learn and grow.
Hard work “only” just
as we like to ignore it has many flaws especially if it consists of long hours,
sleep deprivation, physical strain, and distorted social life, this is
unhealthy. I would like you to think deeply about this and revise your concept
of working hard. However as much as we are believing in smart work, we are not
completely ditching ‘hard work”, because it is part of the bigger picture when
done right. So yes, revise your point on
it, success consists of a whole entire field of other factors, in case you
might be wondering why after all the hard work you remain poor, #laughs.

Movement
is not progress:
I
read it from somewhere and it made so much sense to me , the quote read, “Don’t
confuse movement with progress. Just because you do it time and again doesn’t
mean you are doing great. Make progress, do not be busy without achieving
anything. See progress and make a difference”, need I add more? Really, it’s
all been said. We are busy running around day and night, wearing out our once
in a lifetime selves, but what difference really have we made? Answer this
honestly. Is there a difference between where you where the last couple of
years and now, or you just running around the busy world, as busy as it is and
following the wind.
Have you executed that project, and see its impact, have
you written that book? Have you built that house or you are chasing sunsets.
Think about it. And in the same spirit, do not be discouraged if you see others
moving a whole lot and you are moving at a snail pace but making moves, because
their drastic movement might not necessarily directly translate to progress.
Pay attention, make moves and make a difference. Beware of wasting resources
and finding out there was nothing really you did at the end of it all.

The
secret to having it all, is knowing that you already do:
I
recently read post by Esther Kazungu a Kenyan Youtuber saying that we are like
cups of tea with sugar that's not yet stirred (thank you Esther for the message it got me thinking),
the world might think that you are unsweetened but only because your tea is not stirred,
the sugar is already in there but just with the right process you are
sweetened.
The same way you already have it in you and with you, it’s only
waiting for the ignition to be hit, press the right buttons and you will see
the thing happening, do the thing already, stir us some sugar in your tea, we
all waiting for the sweet part. The only thing separating you from your
greatness and you actually having it all is that, you don’t know yet that you just aren't stirred not that you don’t have it already, you do.
 |
| Don't doubt it, you already have it in you!!! |
I thought I should just
remind you of these few things, because we tend to forget some of these important
things in our lives. Take time to reflect time and again, and practice
intentionallity, you will see the difference. Always remember you are unique and
the world needs you, your talents and your gifts will change someone’s life. So
long beauties… Enjoy this life whilst you still have it and remember that it’s
the littlest things that matter in life.
