Oh Hello there, yes you, it has been a minute and I have missed sitting
here looking pretty minding my own business of being in your business. Yes you
heard right, your business of forgetting your worth, of comparing yourself with
others, of failing to remember that before anything else your opinions about
yourself matter more than anyone else’, need I say more. Well maybe, or maybe
not in my own voice, because I have something even better today…
So I have a lot of journals, diaries, notebooks, you name it and I
always get to read the most meaningful and uplifting bits when I least expect
it. I recently came across a literal gem of a wake-up call through one of these
notebooks. I would be lying if I say I remember what inspired me to write the
message but I would like to believe that I wrote it after or in the midst of
listening to a podcast or something like that (all I know is I will not take full
credit of this particular message, it is not originally in my words and thank
you to whoever gave this message to me) cause the message gave me a piece of
its mind, I mean it did. I thought what better way to start a new month than to
bless you all with this gem of a reminder.
Give them a blind eye and do not give them the
weaponry to your downfall as much as you should stop being your own worst enemy,
cause no matter what, people talk and always will, the mouths on their faces
are definitely not there for display…
“Make it your ambition to ignore and overlook many things if you truly
want to escape misery in your life, because the easiest way to a miserable life
is to think that everybody is talking about you. Never allow any person to
steal your joy from you in whatever shape or form. What people say behind your
back is none of your business as long as you are true to yourself. Never worry
about gossip.
Sometimes minding your own business does not keep people out of yours
and no matter your situation in life people will always talk. You can never
stop people from talking about you, what you can do is to stop giving them what
to talk about.
There is a time limit for every rumor in life. Never allow freelance
broadcasters put your life on a hold. Do what makes you happy because when you
are sad it’s you who get to feel it, so anyone who cannot feel your pain has no
right to judge you. Seventy per cent of those who talk bad about you behind
your back, somehow wish for something you have in your life.
When people cannot be like you they try to bring
you down and condemn what you have. Those without money will sarcastically say,
“Money is not everything in life”, but is poverty everything?
Never allow anyone to put you in a position of depression and self-doubt,
understand this one thing, because those whose life has no joy will always find
every reason to remove happiness from other people’s lives. They project their
fears and limitations on other people.
If you are a believer and you believe that there is a certain kind of
Grace in your life, then enemies are inevitable and if no one has ever gossiped
or talked about you behind your back, it means nothing relevant has ever
happened to you. Beautiful flowers attract the sting of a bee.
Never feel bad when old friends become new enemies. They are just tired
of pretending to be friends. Be grateful. If you get hurt, left, betrayed by
the one person you believed was your one true love or one true friend, be
grateful they did now before you got even deeper and waste the most precious
time of your life.
Never allow the opinions of people who did not see your tears to stop
your laughter, you do not owe anybody an explanation to your happiness.
Never limit yourself by seeing yourself through the
eyes of those who do not value you. To be beautiful is to be yourself. To stand
out is to be outstanding. To be fully accepted is to be loved by you, and to fully
belong is to have residence and comfort in yourself. You do not need permission
from others to belong; you do not need to be who you are not to be accepted.
Accept yourself.
Always remember to never beg to be accepted, because anything you
acquire through begging will require begging to be maintained or retained.
Be humble but selective, and being selective does
not equal arrogance or pride, it simply means knowing your worth. If you are
conscious of your personality avoid too much familiarity.
Sometimes when you treat people too much like celebrities they end up
treating you like just an ordinary fan, you are equally important.
It is detrimental to your growth, to downgrade yourself while trying to
upgrade somebody in life. Anyone who sees you like an option doesn’t deserve to
be a priority in your life.
The dream of a fool is for everybody to become a
fool like himself, so avoid negative people if you have a path you want to
follow, because those without mission will say your vision is just an illusion.
(This spoke to me deeply, and all the other parts
in bold.)
Negative minds barely give you a positive outcome, so anyone who is
always reminding you about what is wrong with you has a personal problem which
they might be taking out on you and trying to make themselves feel better.
Most people spend half of their entire lives analyzing the faults in
other people’s lives, when their own lives need urgent repairs, so do not be
taken down by those kinds of people, as much as you do not want to be that
person, DO NOT BE THAT PERSON!!!
Final note: Some will hate you, others will love you, but loving you or hating you
is both in your favor. When people love you, you live peacefully and happily
in their hearts, and when people hate you, you become the landlord in their
heads living painfully in their brain and every day, giving them sleepless
nights. So how about that? ( And let me note this right away here and now : also applies to
you if you hate someone you are going to have sleepless nights for someone who doesn’t
even care or better yet know you are hating on them, make wise decisions on
this love/hate thing and preserve your happiness, you owe yourself that much.)
I hope you picked a
thing or two and if you didn’t (giving you side eye and judging you vehemently so,
lol) I hope you do next time. It is always a pleasure to have a few minutes of
your time, and I’m thankful for those minutes. Let’s keep growing together, and
always remember, before you are anyone’s you are YOURS!!!
