Eyes watching you. . .mouths yelling at you. . .ears listening to your deeds. . .hands ready to slap you. . .legs ready to kick you when you do wrong. . .brains ready to keep the memory alive. . . .
I can’t say that all has been pleasant but I can say that these things either shape or break us depending on how we choose to see things.
Yeah! She shouldn’t have said it. Those words hurt you so badly. In short, you lost your game. Hold on! Who says you have to let those words hurt you? No one. So, choose to let things that add value to your life affect you.
This is not a green light to all those out there that abuse people emotionally.
Who you are today is as a result of your thoughts, actions and inaction. Who you are going to become will still be as a result of your thoughts, actions and. . . . The choice is yours.
You are on the road, self actualization, all you have learnt, studied, acquired, comes to play on this road. The ability to discipline yourself even when no one’s watching plays out. What you do with your time without a laid out activity plan like the ones in high school is solely your business.
