YOU SEE WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO SEE!


Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If you came second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again? 

When I was in secondary school, I was among the six that was to represent the school In a writing contest. I was shocked that I was picked because the other five were the best students. So I started practicing until I was confident enough to represent the school. It was from that very moment that I discovered my writing skills. We did not win the competition, but then I did not give up- I kept on practicing. 

In life, we are always faced with choices. You may choose to have a pessimistic view about your situation and live a self-defeated life or you may choose to be optimistic and win!

  A lot of us talk about our stories; in fact, we find comfort in talking about them. But from my own experience, I have realised that our stories restrict us.  There's this terrible feeling of regret and sadness when we talk about the things that lowered us. It's a weight that we carry around with us every day, with the hope that someone (with his or her own baggage) validates our story; which in real sense is an obstacle to our true freedom.  These stories limit us, yet we continue to hold on to them. But, friend, it is time to detach from your stories; let it go. You have learnt your lessons, now its time to drop that story and move on‼️
