Strive To Be Better.
There would always be thorns along your path
It's not a curse, it's not about IF but WHEN, do your part
Life would always throw things at you but how you respond is your choice
It's easier to give the best of advice when you haven't faced life
It's easier to say you'd be the best husband to your wife
It's not so much about the words but about the actions
You see life differently with life's experiences and daily interaction
Saying it is easy but walking what you said is the real work
Especially with so many people around the corner ready to mock
Regardless of what life throws at us, the alternative isn't palatable
We have to strive to keep living and make the most of things
Pity is never the option because on that ground nothing meaning grows
I don't also appreciate those who say, "Let's go with the flows"
Life is about intentionality and it takes a determined mind to thrive
Everything would want to drag you down sometimes
You have to be the one to pull yourself up most times
Nothing is handed to you on a free without you still making the effort
Let them even get you a job, you still have to be the one to work it
A lot of people focus too much on what they can get from life
While ignoring the efforts they need to make it happen or at least sustain it
Strive to be better because no one will do it for you, but you
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

This is it no one will do it for you but you. Been doing it for myself lately it feels different should have started long time ago. I guess I was just not smart enough keep doing for others until finally I understand help yourself first before you help other not the other way around.
This is deep. We can't help others if we don't help ourselves first. Only when we stand can we carry others not when we are wobbling. We live and learn. We sometimes wish we understand what we know now many years ago. Life always present us with opportunities to learn.
That is true now just don't make the same mistake to get different results. Doing the same thing will get the same results.
A lot of people do the same thing over and over again...a clear indication that they are not learning at all. We can't move to the next phase unless we learn the lessons life wants us to learn.
Yup won't make that mistake again
That's smart.
So right.
Only when we stand and have a balance can we help others without wobbling. If the foundation is wrong, whatever we need to build on it would crash and we would have to relearn over again.
Life will always make us learn whether we like it or not.
No one will do it for you and the longer you delay it, the more difficult it becomes. If we don't do what's necessary, we won't be able to learn and help those that should be helped. Thank you for this wonderful contribution.
Yes I understand that now I refuse to understand it before so I keep helping others while I'm crumbling. Need a solid foundation before helping others.
Yes, we need that solid foundation else everything will come crashing down on our heads.
Life is about Do It Yourself. The good thing about life is those who won't understand this, life will make them learn later. The earlier we learn in life the better it is for us. Life will present us with situations to learn and let us know that if we don't rise up to make efforts, nothing gets done.
Just like they say in crypto, Do Your Own Research 🤣🤣😂🤣😂. No one can live your life for you. No one can get things done for you. If you won't do it yourself, never expect anyone else to do it for you.
As funny as it sounds, it is the truth.
It appears that my mind and yours are intertwined. That which you wrote above was the thing I also wanted to share with others.
Speaking of life, it is applicable to everyone. Everyone could be in a different group and board their ship in a different port.
What counts in the end is whether you'll stand your ground or fall to pieces and fail.
I'm happy to read that you shared the same thoughts with me on this. I love your take on this also....life is applicable to everyone and we determine our narratives by the things we do or don't do.
Thank you so much for this.
