Tough Love - Chase It.

Chase the monsters away because life is for you to live
There is nothing in the dark except the things kept there before
There is no need crying in the darkness, stop being sore
It's okay to cry and to have all the burden in your heart pour
Don't be afraid and it's your turn to chase the monsters away

Chase the monsters away because life is for you to live
A lot has been done for you to get to this point in life
Many times you have been pushed through life to stay alive
Many monsters were chased away for you many times
Don't be afraid and it's your turn to chase the monsters away

Day One At Traffex and Parkex 2023. Birmingham NEC


Chase the monsters away because life is for you to live
There is no fun in playing the pity party as you'd be left behind
Everything we see in life is to serve as a way to remind
Remind us that we need people, yes, but there comes a time in our lives that
We don't need to be afraid again and we can also chase the monsters away

Chase the monsters away because life is for you to live
Sometimes if you don't help yourself it's hard for anyone to lift you up
Sometimes you need motivation and often times you need to find motivation
As you use the challenges of life to mount up the wings of your desires
Don't be afraid and it's your turn to chase the monsters away

Day One At Traffex and Parkex 2023. Birmingham NEC


Chase the monsters away because life is for you to live
Life is not for the faint hearted and who told you that you can't chase it?
You can chase your dream and fall many times too, that's okay
As long as you don't stop, keep chasing regardless of those voices of discouragement
From people you know or those you don't - it's your time to chase

Chase the monsters away and chase after what you truly believe in. It won't always be easy. Life is hardly ever easy. Most of the times we want things handed over to us which makes us take a relaxed approach to life. Nothing can truly work unless we take the steps.

People might point you in the direction to go but you still have to be the one to walk the length of it. It's your turn now to chase the monsters away. Get your feet steady and help others chase their monsters too till they are strong enough to chase it for themselves...

Don't you dare give up. Keep pushing...

All images are mine.


Thank you for your time.

Hmmm, I believe that the majority of the people in the world have a monster in their head and sometimes, they just need to let go of the idea of having a monster in their head.

Belief, culture and other things have made people come up with this idea and I think since we built that imaginary monster, it is our responsibility to chase it away. It can't be done by anyone except us and until we do, it will be impossible for us to take some critical life-changing moves for ourselves.

Thanks for the message.

Good to have you here, brother. Life is full of ups and downs. There are so many things that would discourage us but we have to keep pushing. God sees our efforts and sends help at the right time. When we give up, we show lack of faith in God. It's not easy but we have to keep pushing regardless.

Imaginary monster. This is true. We have been ruled by our fear. We have been ruled by the things we imagine. We can't help the situation without doing our part. We have to do our part. We have a part to play. No one can help us but us.

The greatest fear to rule a man is the fear of the unknown bro.. the fear of the inner soul.
So so bad....pheww.

We can only pull ourselves up when it gets to that extent, there's no helping hand

That's a very good point too....
In as much as we think of the monsters to always be of external origins, some of these monsters dwell in us.
Those are the most difficult monsters to get rid of, they live, done, breathe and sleep with us.

Sadly we have to go into the mission of discovering ourselves again before we lose ourselves to these monsters

Exactly 💯 what a beautiful angle. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to have this deeply rooted in their heads.

Once you've nursed such believe in your head, I'm really sorry but it's almost impossible to move further than you already are.

Great piont👍

Before anyone will come to your rescue make sure you've done your important part.

Before you will be able to help others you also must be bold.

Be ready to chase the monster of fear away.

You couldn't have said it any better. I love your on point summary and they make so much sense. Thank you so much for your time and comment. Absolutely spot on.

You're absolutely right boo, sometimes we are scared to chase the monsters away ourselves because we somehow think that people are the ones who should do that for us all the time but that's just a big lie, now is the time for us to chase the monsters away ourselves.

I somehow felt like you knew a little about my situation and that's why you had to share this but then it is reality of life and I'm so glad I got to read this, now I have to send away those monsters myself 🙃.

Thank you so much for your support, first...I saw that and it warms my heart. Thank you so much boo. God bless you.

You are right. We sometimes want others to do it for us when we are supposed to do what we are expected to do. We need to keep pushing.

I am glad this inspired you. I got the inspiration this morning too and decided to share it. Thanks a lot dear.

Awwn, you're welcome boo, I'm so happy there was something I could do to give more worth to this beautiful write-up.

Your message was well received and I'm amazed to know you got inspired too. It was totally lovely 👌❤️.

A naturathuman without motivation would want others to do things for them. We want to do things the easy way. We want everything handed to us like you said . We have to fight our demons and chase them away. We have to find that strength.

That's right, sometimes it might not be intentional though but then the ability for us to realize that we are dependent on others to always chase our demons is what would then be needed so we can make necessary adjustments.

Hehehe, of course, you really have all it takes to send those monsters back to wherever they came from.

All you actually need to do is to make that firm decision that you really want them to go... It might not be easy at the start but then with time, it gets better.
When doing the right thing In Life, we can only get better never downgrading

That's right, we just have to take the bold step to start and with time it can only get better.

People will definitely put you a direction to follow if you can't find one for yourself
And it is then left for you to follow it wisely
Chasing the monster away is the best thing to do in your direction in order to focus on where you are going.

Chasing the monsters away help us to focus and you are absolutely right...we still need to walk the way even when direction is given. Focus...that's the key...

Exactly dear.... We should always take the lead.
When we allow people map the roads for us to follow, it's as good as submission to their ideology.

We need to start the road, make efforts and when things get tough ask for help.
That's the ideal thing

Well, for every height anyone want to attain on life, there is always a monster preventing you to no get there and for me I can't also say the monsters are challenges though and some are actually the one we create in our head which is the greatest monster to overcome. Just as you have said only when you chase the monsters way then can you chase what you feel like can be your success story

Without chasing them, we can't truly have the testimony that we seek. Monsters come in different forms and shapes for everyone depending on where each person is at, at different stage of life. We have to keep pushing. We have to do all we can to chase it away so we can chase after our dreams.

I 100% agree with you, life is not easy, it's a mixture of hard times as well as easy times. we need to be patient In hard times, until it turn into good times.

Life is a mixture...that's it. When we see the sad parts, we should expect the good ones too. It works both ways and we have to keep pushing to see our desired outcome. Thanks a lot for that.

It is said that you can take a horse to the river but can't force it to drink.

So we might other point to the right direction for us, but, if we don't make up our minds to go forth, it's all wasted efforts

A lot rests on us. Absolutely. We can force the horse to the river by reason of coercion but we can't force that horse to have a drink against his or her will. A lot rests on us...nothing gets done unless we agree to it.

Of course, there are difficulties in life, time is not always the same, sometimes difficulties come, sometimes there are eases in life, only that person can be patient and wait for his good time.

Beautiful reflection for all, many times we create monsters ourselves for fear of many things, we must have the courage and courage enough to move forward, everything is part of our life process and you're right when you say that we want everything already done and it is not so, because as a popular saying in my country, what comes easy, easy goes, is something that is simply not worth it, we must tear down those monsters and thus to move forward, we can change the route but not the goal, great pictures and very beautiful reflection, hugs bro ♥

We all have our demons inside us and it could be anything. It depends on what we are faced with and the challenges like poses to us. If we don't fight it, we will lose the battle of life. Life requires strength. We need to be strong. We have to keep fighting till their voice fades and their impacts reduces. Thank you for this wonderful piece of work. It is really good.

A lot has been done for you to get to this point in life

Life made it in such a way that from birth, sacrifices were already made for us.
Starting from the scientific stories we hear about millions of sperms running for just one spot and that spot ended up as you.... Much has been done and given to us alone as long as we breathe, hence, to whomever much is given, much definitely is expected from such person.

We need people in our lives no doubt about that but then when those people see themselves as the engine behind our lives, when they see themselves as the reason we live for, then, they are also the monsters that we need to chase out.
I'll always welcome the party to chase them away.

Sometimes if you don't help yourself it's hard for anyone to lift you up

Most times, for people to help you, they need to see the desire you have in helping yourself.
Most persons will never kick-start the helping process, you will start it and then they will come in the picture later on... That's the life we live in

Giving up is never an option, persevere and "kwechiri" because at the end, Godswilling the end will favour us all

"Most times, for people to come to your aid and fix your needs, they need to see the desire you have in helping yourself." — This is so true. People always search for the prospect in you before investing their resources on you.

That's why it's easier for the rich to get richer and difficult for the poor to escape their predicament

Imaginary impediments — the things that can limit our dreams.

Chase what you believe in and never you give up till it's accomplished. Life is filled with so many obstacles; our minds inclusive.

Chase every monster away: be it a person, or even our thoughts. Do this, and observe the difference.

Thanks @olawalium for sharing posts such as this
