THE FAÇADE OF PERFECTION

What is this I hear?

Mortals have chosen the easy way out instead of pulling through in strength. Who told them pain was erased for some and given to some as a companion? 

Why have you allowed the beauty that is feigned by the world deceive you into making decisions that are brutal. I wish I could interview the ones who took their lives. What ‘’beautiful’’ reason would they give.

I was hurt, life is hard, he broke my heart, I was scared, I tried everything and nothing worked....

They are all beautiful stupid reason because everyone faces those same issues. Why choose the easy way out coward? Death instead of battling the problem, is that the solution you seek?  Don’t you know strength exists within your cores and every muscle in you is fighting to live out to its full potential.

What lessons has life thought you?

What experiences have you gathered?

Who told you hope was far-fetched?

You were birthed in pains and tears of joy. Your mother pushed hard, almost at the brink of death, saw a bundle of preciousness and lived. Welcomed into the world with drums of music and orchestra playing to tunes that your parents hummed in joy and looked forward to your blossoming.

You learnt how to sit, then crawl and gradually you took your first steps and it was celebrated.

Growth came upon you and you soon forgot the stages you went through as a child. You trashed the lessons that life itself taught you…stages.

Life is in stages for everyone.  There is a time for everything and you were pre trained to experience all and WIN.

The problem with this generation is that we just want to skip the stages and get to the finish point. Did I miss out on the memo that there is ‘’Finish Point’’?

The wave of owning a business, being an entrepreneur, getting married, having kids, being in a relationship etc makes us think that that's the standard to a successful life. You know what a successful life is? 

Its what YOU term it to become for YOU.

This makes NOBODY your standard.

Have you forgotten there are stages to these things and no one has the same exact experience with another? If you know this, then why the comparisons and setting another as your standard.

I'm close to tears as I see the way Young ones beat themselves up for just nothing.

Where are you rushing to?

Grow at your pace please.

Allow your roots grow deep into the cores of your being and then you’ll blossom in the strength of knowing and believing in yourself.

NO ONE IS PERFECT. They only show you the seemingly perfect sides or days. {I do that too}

We are all thrown with life issues including the motivational speakers who charges you up and gives you that boost that you can do anything. Be careful. Take time to first appreciate yourself just the way you are. Our journeys differ and I'm sure you have heard that a zillion time.  Has it actually sunk in?

The feeling of inadequacy you get after a motivational speaker has charged you up and you fail at what was said was possible to be done, has to stop. You are not inadequate, however you need to find out this yourself. That way you will believe it more.

Growth is a process; life is in stages. Let that sink the next time that the comparison factor sets in.

 If at this point you are still repeatedly chanting your greatness to yourself in front of a mirror, that means you don’t believe yourself. The first task is to get you to believe in yourself and have total faith that you can accomplish and you alone can do it. Start by appreciating and magnifying the little things you can do.

I too was faced with the problem of not trusting what I could do. Accept the problem and seek ways to solve it.

This cowardice has to STOP. Speak out and get help if suicidal thoughts keeps creeping in. The world gives us a façade that everything is perfect but that’s not TRUE. We are all fighting one battle or the other. The difference is that some have proclaimed themselves winners, hence they live above the waters. Some give up even without fighting. Please don’t give. Fight to win because you can. 

Now let's have a REAL TALK.
What challenges are you facing? Let's have a deep and real conversation about it on the comment section. I'll start off with mine. Then y'll follow. It doesn't matter if you comment as ''anonymous'', lets just get some stuffs off our chests and feel free to conquer our challenges while giving advices to others. I love you'll
