Your Conviction Is Your Answer

 All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

---Francis of Assis

Hey, In life, we are influenced from the day we are born, I mean think of where you are born your siblings, your friends, and most significantly your parents. While we are always trying to be ourselves we cannot deny the fact that influence plays a major role in what we believe in

So what am I getting at? Well I think who you are ought to be shaped by you and you alone I mean it is easier said than done. Here is my point, Influence will play a major role in our lives and as much as we would not like to admit it, it happens. The people and the environment you are in will influence you in a good way or a bad way, whether you are aware of it or not.

You know most of the time we tend to lie to ourselves that if something is affecting someone else it cannot affect me. Well for your information it does, so my message to you is, to be cautious of who you are letting influence you. I mean you know yourself better than me, remember there is a good thing about this and that is you have the power to choose. The power to choose who you want to influence you, who you want to be friends with, but either way whether you decide to choose or not one will be chosen for you.

To summarise if you can not follow your own conviction you are following someone else's. In other words, if you have decided to be great you can not be around mediocre people, if you have decided you want to live courageously you can not be around cowardly people. I guess it is as they say 'birds of the same feather flock together.' Remember who you want to be is solely your own decision but if you do not make that decision it will be made for you. And I do not know about you but I would rather make that decision myself.

By the way, what I am suggesting is not plug and play, It is unbelievably difficult but you know, as they say, if it was easier everyone would be doing it. My hope is you will find the courage and the strength to follow yourself.

Dare

The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. People, who risk may go through things that seem self-inflicting you know someone looking from the outside so to speak might ask what in the world is this guy thinking? why go through all that? why try you know how difficult it is? These are the people who don't risk anything thinking it's the best decision in the short term but in the long run, those who have risked are the ones who enjoy life, feel, change, find their path, grow, and live fulfilling lives. Just like a plant that is in a cocooned place will always look dull unlike a plant that faces all the elements, is usually more vibrant. Here is my point always try, risk, feel, love, and don't ...

How to know, you are doing the right thing for you

 Hey, have you ever thought that the reason you are struggling with certain things in your life is because of something else other than you? Maybe how you are brought up affected how you view relationships, how you were treated in certain situations has made you change the way you view things, maybe a breakup made you declare there is no love out there, and so forth. I am sure almost every one of us has. Surely what any of us has gone through affects how we view and define these "things" in our life. Talk of relationships, money, and life in general. I mean it is only natural, We are wired the way our brains are created to be for us, to protect us, and thus if anything happens against what is expected it is a cause of alarm. In other words, if for instance what you have done before failed, it's only natural that when you have a chance to do the same endeavor you become alerted and you end up hesitating to do it, or not doing it at all. These "things" that do hap...

The pandemic lessons and why they will always happen

 Hey, surely pandemics have always been with us right?, and as I should also say they are going to be with us. Let us face it there is another virus somewhere waiting to happen and I don't mean to scare anyone but to show what is actually reality. To be honest with ourselves the pandemics that do happen or will happen are usually 99% our faults caused by our negligence, carelessness, and so forth but also through good intentions like trying to experiment with a bunch of drugs to find a better one. Anyway, it should not be an excuse, as pandemics bring all the negative things that we all know yet funny enough through pandemics man has come out more capable and better with a drug to kill that virus and keep the virus in its place so to speak. But as much as pandemics come packed with all the negative stuff we should not forget all the good they come with. what do I mean you ask? pandemics come with their fair share of good talk the Covid 19 pandemic for instance I would say has come ...
