Stop blaming friends (#203).
I realised that most times, our ways of thinking lead us to our downfall, the way you think can help you greatly in life, but also make you feel naughty about yourself.
The worst part of everything is the way we want people to think about us, this is where most times we go wrong, we sometimes fail to realize that what people think about us is not important compared to what makes us happy and grow in life.
Today I will help you with an inspired story that will make you believe in yourself, first you need to know who you are and what you want in life.
With these two examples, I can assure you that, you can make a better story to tell to others who think their lives are worth nothing but to misuse the gift of God in them.
One thing, most people fail to realize is that for every human, God created a special gift in us, the earlier you notice that the better for you, Now let me take you to the story proper.
Ansumana was a very clever boy but never knew he was that clever to make decisions, because his friends always made him look like a fool, every time he tried to contribute to their discussion.
His friends always ignore his ideas in front of him but in the end, his idea always works for them, what makes him feel bad the most? They always mock him with their success and call him a failure.
Ansumana always call his friends bad guys and they are not real with him, they are not the kind of friends he needs in life, friends who always see him as nothing to add or contribute as friends, on the table.
He said, his friends are the reason why he was not progressing in life, while they were doing very well, that led him to cut off their friendships and try to start all over.
It was a hard decision for him (Ansumana) to make, the main problem was, where to start when he did not have anything as a young man.
His friends laugh at him when he tells them he is going to leave and start a new life, they think he is joking, and every one of them no he is a broke guy who has nowhere to go, and even if he lives he is going to come back.
He makes it clear to them, that even if that would cost him his life to go out there and start a new life, he’ll still choose that path of the journey, rather than continue with untrusted friends.
He lived to start a new life on his own, but things were not in his favour at first, his experience was so bad that he wanted to go back and apologise to his friends to stay with them.
One day, after the street had taught him lessons, he sat down and started talking to himself, is it that his friends were right that he was nothing but a fool who could not bring anything to the table?
On the other hand, he said to himself, that what his friends said about him was wrong and that he needed to prove that to them, even sometimes they came around to mock him but he never gave up, that sounded motivational to him.
Those words motivated him, he started to listen and believe in himself even if his decision was wrong, he took it as a lesson to start over again.
At the end of it all he became successful and achieved his goal, those friends who always looked down on him later became admirers of him, all that happened because he chose to improve himself.
All is not lost when people look down on you, self-belief is the first stage for you to achieve your goal, never look low on yourself, and never depend on people, everyone needs a helping hand, but again you need to make that positive move.
Be blameless, be hardworking, stay focused and be positioned, the beginning is always the toughest, but don’t give up.
Stay safe and have a beautiful weekend.
