Every time I look back to my life, I’ve noticed that most of my failures happened for the same reasons. Envy, jealousy, insecurity and stupidly of others. As children, we try hard to impress others hopping for their acceptance. It’s like letting them decide your worth. It is upsetting to realise that I have wasted so much of my precious life in this confusion.
No wonder I am obsessed with Cher’s song “If I Could Turn Back Time”, because this is how I feel now. Time is such an important price to pay for getting nothing in return. But been a stubborn and relentless person, I decided to stop letting others deciding my worth. Which I did. Now I know better.
It’s like hoping that a King will give his crown to a nobody, after killing his entire family to obtain it. The lies sold to us as kids, make us have these false hopes that we will get the recognition needed. How come nobody tells you the truth? Because of the same reasons mentioned above. Envy, jealously and insecurity on their part. Most people are okay with your success if is not bigger their theirs.
Even as a leader, I still failed a lot due to dishonesty and stupidity of my peers. There is no end to it! They keep you busy blaming yourself and making you feel guilty, so you cannot see their true agendas. It’s grotesque and vial.
Keeping you oblivious it’s their only weapons. That’s why the world would never have a chance at getting much better. Because most of us are backing up these behaviours by being too coward or too greedy to support fairness amongst us. So stop letting others decide your worth!
