Essentials for a prosperous life
Remember
the last time you lost hope? Or when criticism won the war against your will,
hopes and dreams? Or when you lost yourself in the flood of critics and so
called friends?
All
this happens and no one can ever deny it, what I am going to pinpoint here are
some fact no-one out there can contradict. I hope this can help some who have
not yet lost them to others or rather this cruel world! And for those who have,
it’s never too late.
Be
sincere to yourself
People
love telling this to you, and I bet you hear it every single time you find
yourself sitting in some life counseling seminar whatsoever. But how many of us
do really follow this? Guess what, none! You know what this actually means?
Have you ever tried to actually listen to what the red organ in your chest has
to say? A friend wrote this and I believe this explains everything:
“What’s
the best escape?
Is
it a veil to pretend to yourself that you are not a frail?
Why
is it that you are not you?
Is
not it that hard to get it through?
The
mask is just a sweet lie stopping you from being true
The
mask you put on was a high score.
Now
you’re trapped the mask is the door.
And
when you come out, it won’t be you anymore.
It’s
been long since you became a chalk on the floor.
The
mask was a shadow you should have known.
It’s
too late now that you are overthrown.
But
say HI to you for me.
For
me, when you are alone.
For
me, when you are home...”
And
remember, when you are sincere to you, you are sincere to people around you as
well and that’s what your enemies don’t want to see, so make sure of their
defeat.
Ignore
the critics
There
are two kinds of people in this world, ones who criticize you to make a better
you, and the others who criticize you to see you lose hope and get solely
crushed. Make sure you can differentiate between the two.
Follow
your dreams
This
is my favorite part. When you are true to yourself, when you are not ashamed of
who you are, only then you can concentrate on your passions and live up to
them. We don’t want to wake up one random morning and say “what the hell am
I doing?” This is when you feel there is no place for you in this world and
you start criticizing yourself and others around. Never let worthless things
like peer pressure keep you from who you are and what you want to be. Do
what you believe is right for you and be the best of what you make.
You are the best judge of you
Remember
that aunt, yes the one who likes picking flaws in you and always comparing you
with either her own children or the ones next door. Guys! Not for a moment
should you ever doubt yourself just because of her. Indeed, you know what is
best for you, now I am not saying that you should neglect what others have to
say, but neither should you try to be anybody you are not. You are the best
judge of you and let that stay as it is.
Spend
some time solo
Yeah,
you heard me. Spend some time with the one I call “you”. The
global village this planet has turned out to be makes me think a hundred times
before I can agree to stay alone. Parties, hangouts and a lot of other
ridiculous stuff like that. Spend some time alone; let it be somewhere in the
basement or the attic but please! ---For your own sake, don’t lose yourself in
the crowd! I don’t need to mention what you should do, but when the time comes
you will know what to make of it.
Only
you can help yourself
Wow,
I just wrote 700 words! For whose sake, if I may ask?? My own?! Yes, that’s
right. I wrote this for myself, not for some boring old blog but for me! --- Because
I would like to help myself. Gradually, I have come to understand I am the one
who can help me because I am sincere to myself, believe in myself, follow
my passion and I myself can only be the best judge of me!
