WE99: FORGIVE, STAND & ENDURE...
Amazing weekend people and an awesome evening.
Today, I'll be writing a little somethin' somethin' in effect to the 100 prompt Birthday of the WEEKEND COMMUNITY. Congratulations @galenkp.
Just incase you're wondering. It's the 99th prompt posed by the Weekend Community. So it's like an in addy birthday prompt get-up.
You can read more here and also participate. Be sure to read the rules as always.
The topics posed for this weekend is definitely on a whole different level because we're talking about achievements.
Looking back on your own life, what have you learned through attempts, failures or achievements that you could bundle up and deliver as advice to other people that they may be better prepared to achieve themselves. Share your advice and wisdom gained through your personal experiences.
Many times I've seen myself being interviewed by prestigious magazines or exclusive shows as a kid. I'd sit on my cute little chair and mimick answering questions about how I made it to the top 20 percent.
Till date, I still see it. I even practice my answers in my head and in my room.
If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life
Yeah, I had to think smart
Threw away the deck and got my own cards
Long before I had the money to afford a car– NF
The first thing my own life has taught me is forgiveness. Coming from a home where the grandfather is a dictator, father an infidel, Aunt a two-face and cousin a gossip (not the one I'm close with today), I had to learn forgiveness.
It was hard. Trust me. I held so much anger, so much rage towards my family. I learned what it means to forgive at a really young age. It was self taught too. I knew I just had to let it all go if I'd move forward with my life. So yes, I forgave. Most of all, I also forgave myself.
The next lesson I learned was Courage. Courage to face the world even when I was called ugly and a bastard. Yeah. Lol. Those were the times.
I still learned to hold my head high and brush off the comments. At least, till I was alone to let my emotions show. I learned at a very young age that the way I react to the people around me would ultimately determine how I react to situations too. Lol.
It took courage to cut off from a lot of people. To stand alone for what I believe; my values. It took courage to believe in myself, my future and my worth.
Finally, I learned Perseverance. Till today, I'm still persevering. I've gone days without proper meals because I couldn't afford them but I've learned to always keep that smile on my face. I've learned that it's better to be happy than depressed.
I've learned that a smile can brighten up the day of someone even though you might be in a dark pit. I've learned that consistent hardwork would eventually produce the right results.
Most of all, I've learned to not just exist. I've learned to live each moment with vigor, passion and total comprehension.
The summary is this: you are going to make a mistake, you're going to commit a blunder but it doesn't mean you're a failure. Forgiveness is key to a free life. Before you can forgive anyone, you must forgive yourself first.
No one who is a success today started with moping and blaming. Accept responsibility for your actions. When you do this, you'd realize that your future depends on you. Whoever you become tomorrow is all you. So, now what? Add value to yourself.
Don't laze. One major thing about successful people is they are always on the go. First to come in, last to leave. They fall so many times but it doesn't make them a failure. The success is in rising each time you fall. The courage to stand even when people laugh at you. To look the world dead in the eye and say, "you can break bones but not spirit".
I'll have you know, success is failure turned upside down. So when you make that mistake, it's okay. Forgive yourself, accept responsibility, be brave to start all over and endure till the end. Be Kind, Wise and Fierce.

I wondered for a brief moment who NF was (the quote)... I see this is a brief extract of song lyrics by Nathan John Feuerstein also known simply as 'NF' hehe.

Oh wow. I have a feeling you googled him?😂
I don't know why that is funny but it is. Lol. I am doing really well. Exams are on a roll daily now with at most one day apart and so I don't have time for much except revision and preparation. You doing good? You'd see me in your discord as soon as I have this all sorted. Say hello to your lovely boys and you are someone I do admire here a lot. Your words mean so much to me. Thank you very much Sam
hehe yeah, I googled him😂 You know, I just had to know! Aah exam time... I do remember that... my last few exams were just a few years ago. Having to juggle work, study, and family life... I am sure you will do well. You are very diligent ❣️As I write this, it is 23h18 here at my table in England. My boys are long asleep but I will give them your wishes in the morning. Oh, and I loved our little discord chat 🤗 Speak soon x
Hheheheheh. Look at me blushing like a five year old😂
Where is dad in all of this? 🥺
Someone told me this once
"He who apologies first is the bravest. He who forgives first is the strongest. And he who forgets first is the happiest"
And I haven't forgotten till date.
This is exactly where he is. Between every woman's thigh...
Well that is a deep truth the person told you.
Oh no! I am so sorry babe 😔
😂. Don't sweat it. I had forgiven him a long time ago and my life is so much better without him.
Oh no! The last part hurt me though. 😔
Forgiveness is a really good thing to learn and I'm proud of you girl. No matter how hard it can be Forgiveness is all that one needs to over to the world to heal her wounds.
This is a beautiful write-up, good job dear.

Thank you for reading and your kind words, dear.
Don't mention dear🤭🤭.
Forgiveness, Courage 🦏 and Perseverance. These things are so key to life! If we can learn these things, we have truly had great successes in our lives!
Yes. Thank you for reading me😁
Life has indeed taught me perseverance also, and to keep pushing.
These are amazing lessons babes.
Thank you for reading babes
You are welcome.
gosh you really did get them all done early!
I had time and I didn't want to forget.
you did great and I have not done them all yet !
I know you can do it, just keep going.
hehe I think I have, but still not found any words, I guess I don't understand that bit at all 🤣🤣🤣
There is a number behind the word, check for that.
Yes I still don't see it is written as a figure like 1 or a word like one
There is one word and a number just beside it.
You would most likely find it where there is a tiger in the comment.
I just had to pop back in and see how your exams are going and say I expect to hear you on the next dreey discord event!
Oh yeah! When is it happening?!!!
not sure, maybe a couple of weeks
Deraaa....Brilliant post and well said. Often times i find myself being unforgiving towards my mistakes. But you've just given me a reason to. By confession i am Wise, Kind and fierce. Thank you Love💗😍
I am really happy that this made you realize you should. A lovely weekend amore
This is true, but there is also a time to let someone know if you are hurting. And also a time to evaluate if that work is producing good results. Maybe another approach will get you there faster? Or perhaps the goal itself has changed, without you even realizing it?
Yes. Those are parts I couldn't really talk about because, hehe...
I was actually about to send you a message on discord so that you can teach me one or two about Canva😁
Forgiveness is key. Despite all you've been through you're standing today. I hope to one day see you actualise your goal of being interviewed by prestigious magazines.
😂Me too
