DON'T TWIST YOURSELF INTO SHAPES


She eventually became a being that others wanted her to be. For her,  it was a welcome development because she was making them happy.  Every piece of advice and comment seemed valid and she made use of all; a combination of good, bad and ugly.  You can easily tell when you meet her. She had become so conscious of your comments and was always ready to adjust and be the being you want her to be. Her life became like the proverbial coat of many colours except that it wasn't colorful. The shades of others peoples expectations of her had concealed her essence.

I know what you are thinking right now. You think she is very simple, obedient and always teachable right?  But that wasn't the case. She wanted to be like others. So, to everyone that came her way and said "you are not enough'' she believed them and started living their life not hers. In the end, she became lost in the shadows of other people's opinions.

How does this relate to you? I'll put it in a simple sentence: Stop living your life based on other people's expectations and opinion of you. I know it's good to learn from others and make adjustments, however, always remember to ponder on these words or pieces of advice before adopting them. You cannot be everybody, you were made to be you and that is who you should be.

It's funny how we twist ourselves into shapes to please others. I mean, I have met different people always aspiring to be someone they are not. You can never be the original copy of another person. At best you'd be a photocopy. Of what good is it to you? Why not maintain your uniqueness?

If you are dark, appreciate and cherish who you are stop trying to be fair. You will eventually start looking like a masquerade; fair face, green legs, blue nose, green veins and whatever. Be happy with who you are whether you are slim or fat.

One of the most unique facts in the whole wide world is that we were all created uniquely. You are unique in your own way. Don't copy others and never twist yourself into shapes to please others.

Be you, be the person you were designed to be.

HEAL THE WORLD

HEAL THE WORLD You may be wondering why there are still happy and excited people in the world even with the presence of challenges. These set of people are neither crazy nor stupid, they are people who understand that these situations are temporary and they believe so much that the world will get better. It's no longer news that the world is faced with different challenges. I mean, everyone has a particular or peculiar challenge to deal with but there is something intriguing about all of these which you need to know as you read this piece. We will definitely be deceiving ourselves if we don't recognise the presence of these challenges. Our world now is one, which is filled with pressures from all sides. Sometimes the pain goes deep into the bone marrow and the shame is unbearable. It is true that we can be overwhelmed with these challenges and begin to think that life isn't fair to us. Truly, on daily basis we go through some stress, some of us are tired already because...

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY Have you ever considered why some people got to the peak of their careers. Do you know how some people achieved powerful and positive  solutions? You thought some of them were not wise for staying through despite the difficulties. You know what held them so strong when they didn't give up? CONSISTENCY! Yes, they were consistent in what they were doing. You can never be consistent in your career, job, business or what have you if you don't have passion for what you do, if you are not committed and dedicated to the things you do. Consistency is a path that leads to greatness, until you embrace it, you may never get the required result. One of the most powerful qualities of successful and fulfilled people is consistency. They kept on even when it was not making sense, they continued even when they were losing, they persisted when others were quitting. Pay good attention to the lives of the people you call successful fellows today, they remained consi...

SEE BEYOND NOW

SEE BEYOND NOW Many a times, we get so disturbed about the future and  what it holds for us. We become so confused with so much worries and anxieties. We brood for so long. We ask questions. We answer questions. We make assumptions. We make generalisations. We draw conclusions and we write stories. We scream and weep. Our minds says "what if'. Stop thinking about "what if". Remember your thoughts become realities. Why stress yourself so much when the future you bother about is so bright and beautiful. What height of greatness, fulfilment, happiness and success awaits you in the future. Believe me, that future you see over there is already made. The present situation and your present condition is not an indication that the future is gonna be bad, see beyond the challenges and failures. You don't have so much today but the future has so much for you. You need to rise above fears and tears and be the best. Throughout the week,  you may be weak but don't be...
