BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

I would like to share my thoughts with you. I want to say NEVER for any reason no matter what it may be doubt yourself. Never you do so. No matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter what you think, never doubt your abilities. The very moment you doubt your abilities, you trust your debilities. I want you to believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and the dark, despite the woes and the pains. If you believe in yourself, you will succeed far more than you think. You will be surprised you will find all your troubles behind you. The greatest error in life is to relegate yourself when you could have been upheld. The most humble tragedies in life have occurred from a lack of faith or believe in one’s own self or one’s own ability. The simplest thing in the world is to deride ourselves because we made a mistake, to give up and say I’m no good but the more difficult thing is to believe in ourselves no matter what comes. In truth, we are not a mechanically precise machine; we are a bundle of nerves, sometimes we worry, we’re tensed up and we are stressed out but the important thing is never to allow our worries dictate our glories. I want you to believe in yourself, trust in your own ability and have faith in your knack. You actually deserve to win.

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

Why would you expect me never to make a mistake? Why would you expect me to be so damn perfect? What’s up with perfection anyway? Who really is perfect? Who really is impeccable? Show me one person: So eloquent no stammer, they have never lost, always winning. They have no imperfection, they have never asked for direction. They are number one selection. They are never producing feaces. They are always excelling. They are immune to failing. They have never fallen to temptation. Their hearts are always healthy. They have never called on the Saviour. They have never stolen money. Their sky is always sunny (MI Abaga). They have never hurt a person. Their mouth is never cursing. They have never hurt, never thirsting. Their hands are always nursing. Never get frustrated. They have never made a mistake. Their lips are never pouting. They have never had a trouble. They have never blinked; never lost vision. They have never owed debtors. They have never shouted. 

Just don’t expect those from me. In fact I can never give you any of those. But one thing I can give you is this: I’ve got a faulty conscience, so much nonsense, I make mistakes, I’m harboring some guilt, gotten my heart broken. There is hurt from every word I’ve spoken. There‘s people I’ve cheated. I’ve had truth receded. Sometimes I’m very stubborn, allowed my pride to govern. There is so much dirt I’ve covered. It’s dark inside my cupboard. That’s the real me, I’m not perfect, I don’t even want to be. You know what, who really is? But in all of these of my behaviour, I see I am only human, so give me a break. But all the same, I don’t take being human for granted. I make sure I put in my best to every contest I’m tested in. That’s the real me; I’m PERFECTLY IMPERFECT BUT I WILL NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.

FORGIVE YOURSELF

With every mistake you will make, with every error you will commit, you must learn how important it is to forgive yourself and many of the people around you. Often times when we make mistakes, we mostly believe that our failures were our fault, the fault of others around us and even the littlest inert objects. But one thing you must understand is that you are not impeccable and that there is every chance you might fail for every chance at success. There is every chance we might fall flat to our face. The only thing that typically keeps us going is our intention of getting the best. So if by chance we fail, our intention has never failed, it’s just the method and approach that failed. But in truth, forgiving yourself may look ridiculous but it is actually necessary if at all you will trust yourself again to succeed in that venture. The truth is unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that your method failed you never your goal, you will never move forward. For that reason, it is important that you forgive yourself, learn from your mistakes, move on and succeed like never before. In truth, you actually deserve to succeed.
