When We Are Growing Up in Life

  It actually sort of matters to people how you look. And then it matters to you because it matters to others. Why does it matter how you look? Because If they don’t like you, then who will like you? If they don’t accept you, then who will accept you? And the fear that we have is that we are going to be alone. There are so many questions.

We Have To Change Ourselves

 So many people put me down and said, you can’t do this and you can’t do that and I couldn’t change anything. I couldn’t change my circumstance. You know what I mean. But it was so hard because people put me down. And I started believing that I was not good enough. I started believing that I was a failure. And it was so hard, I thought to myself. I started getting depressed. I thought, what kind of purpose do I have to live? I mean, Is there not a purpose for me? Is there not a purpose in life? And I had questions, and no answers. But then someone said we are not good enough so we have to change ourselves.

I Asked My Mom

 I asked my mom, why did this happen? Then she said, ”There are some things in life that are out of your control that you can’t change and you have got to live with. The choice that we have, though is either to give up or keep on going. Are you going to believing in yourself? Or are you going to believe everybody else’s judgment on you? Are you going to believe people when they say that you are a failure? That no one really likes you. That no one really cares about you. And it’s not really to say that you need somebody to come up to you. And say, “  I really like you. And I really care about you. It’s not about that. But it’s the fact people put you down. People don’t even look you in the eye. But you have to face the world and you have to WIN.

Are You Really Fine?

People ask you how you are and you say “ fine”. But you are not really fine and they will never know that I tell you life is interesting. Life is a journey. In public life, you have to deal many people. And just show your STRENGTHS not Weaknesses.
