The world is hurting but that's why we are here. We are the ones responsible for the ills we have seen in this world. We allowed the love of power to override the power of love. We would rather have things our day than to be of help to another.
A friend of mine called me last week and it breaks my heart to see that humans are the ones willing to drag another human down so they can feel good with themselves. We need to understand that in this life, we just have to focus on ourselves and no one else when it comes to doing what we can do to be better.
Most people would go against you when they notice that you are a "threat" to them forgetting that we all have our individual strengths which should be the only thing we have to focus on. Most people would rather focus on what you are doing rather than focus on what they can also do to be better for themselves and effect the changes the world needs. It's terrible to see how humans have degenerated from the highs to the lows.
My strength is different from yours so when I do things, I am doing it according to my strength and not to show off. As I said, a friend of mine called me last week and told me how some feel she is doing too much all because she has a heart to always want to help. It caused so much stir that she started doubting herself and she felt she is a nobody. It almost slipped into depression and that was the point she called me and I wasn't really happy about it.
Even when you walk on water, those who hate you would say it's because you cannot swim forgetting that the ability to walk on water is a miracle on its own. Others just want to see you fail so they can give excuses for themselves for not doing too much. Most people like their comfort zone and would never do anything extra but would still have the audacity to hate those who go the extra mile...that's how witchcraft starts.
You are important and you matter, never let anyone tell you otherwise. You are not responsible for the actions of others and even what goes on in their heads. You are responsible for what you say not for what others think especially when you do things in good conscience and never said anything to drag others down.
You can affect the change you want the world to see in your little corner. You don't have to become a leader of the world before you can make your impact in life. Most people focus on the wrong thing and that's why they keep chasing the wind. If we are not better humans ourselves, how are we expected to change the world?
Being a better person starts from understanding and respecting others' individual differences. You don't have to agree with anyone but you should respect their opinions to say their views because their exposure is their reality. To be a better person, stop hating on others just because you can feel good about your bad choices.
When others try to get you down, never forget who you are even when the world is telling you who you are not. You are important and never allow anyone to tell you otherwise. There would always be those who would willingly go the extra miles for you when others won't even jump the puddle for you and that's life. It's never about you but it's about them. Learn to rise above the tides.
