Stand Proud

IMG_20220802_081307.jpg

Don't be ashamed. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't blame others for what you've become. Don't expect someone to help remind you who you really are. At the end of the day, it's just you, it will always be you who owns you. Don't belittle yourself for some reason but be proud because people see you the way you see yourself.

Indeed, we can't avoid being envious. Just imagining the life or the things you wanted is with someone else? It's painful to bear because you'll feel so unfair. You want it desperately but couldn't have it and yet to others without shedding blood and tears having it smoothly. That disappointment leads to discrimination. You will start degrading yourself and by it, you will think of not working hard. You are too ashamed to show yourself to everyone by not having the things you shouted often.

The process takes time, it makes you afraid to go out. You want to keep on hiding or isolating yourself which you prefer. Then later on your confidence is starting to fade. It is as if you don't recognize that person inside when you go out. You'd become conscious of all the things that surround you. What's worse is that you can't keep on fighting or keep on dreaming. The thought of failing has become your greatest enemy.

If you think about it rationally you will understand that it's part of the challenges in life. Failure is just the absence of success. However, it doesn't mean it will go on forever. Perhaps fate is just testing your patience to move forward. Maybe it's not the right time yet because if you can have it at the wrong time you can't handle it well. We never know that it might hurt you when a difficult problem comes. That's why don't forget who you are and what you can achieve.

Don't put in mind that you are just someone. You are not just someone who can not do things far greater than the others. See yourself as a worthy person who is capable of doing things better. Always remember that there are things you can only do. There are those people who look up to you because it's just you who can do it. Don't hide but show up and stand proud because a person like you is special and no one can be compared to you.

Hi, Paul! @mrnightmare89 Wise words for sure. Envy is self-destructive to your soul. I agree that we must always be proud of ourselves.

I hope you are doing well!

I believe that many people by measuring up themselves with others have become much smaller in their own eyes. They even start to belittle their achievements and deny the validity of their precious struggles.

I am super elated reading through your post as it reminds me of what my soul friend @bhoa always told me back then.

He would say "Mimi, you are your own competition, strive to be a better version of yourself". Those words will ways echo through my being as long as I breathe.

Those words have helped me not to be bothered about who is achieving what and not to be blinded in my purpose.
It even helps me to be super happy for others rather than envy them.

"There are those people who look up to you because it's just you who can do it"

Those words of yours @mrnightmare89 are true in every sense and people need to actually realize and believe them because that's life reality.

We all are unique in our own capacity. We just need to learn that.

You have brought back good memories to my mind with your writing.

Thank you @mrnightmare89 .

Thank you so much, you flattered me with your words. And yeah, it's true, you have your own race and that you should be worried about.
