It's All About You...

IMG-20231116-WA0007.jpg


Who do you seek approval from when life doubts you?
How do you overcome your doubts when you are all alone?
Are you at the mercy of what life throws at you and of people who judge you wrongly?
What do you tell yourself when others are done talking - judging you?
Who do you surround yourself with when the chips are down?
Who is in your circle of influence that can lift you up and inspire you to greatness?
Your association matters and you can't live with giants and remain a dwarf
It's all by positioning...they can carry you up so you can go far and see far too
There are a lot of discouragements all around the world
If I started highlighting them, they can't be enough even with a single word
It looks like everything was designed to frustrate us in this life
You have friends who backbites and would sell you at any given chance
You have family members sometimes who feel you are undeserving
Don't even get me started on the government -
That has been cursed with the chronic desires to irritate us
Everything has been altered in this life to take away from us
It's not surprising that we have been told that the world is for the strong
If you snooze, you lose, they have said and that's a loud gong
Start looking within yourself and don't dwell too much on the external factors
You can't escape it, yes, but you can choose to change your focus
By not dwelling too much on things and keep pushing through life instead
Life is all about you and only you determines how you get up or stay under
Never forget the God-factor too because that makes all the difference in life
Faith is a personal journey and no one can help you except you do


Thank you for your time.

What a great writing friend and well yes the world sometimes comes down on us many times but we have ourselves to give us those motivational talks so to speak and well recently was coming out a phrase that I shared on facebook that said there will always be someone who doubts you, just make sure that person is not you and of course the God factor that can not be missing in us, great poem friend ♥

This is deep. When everyone doubts you, don't let that person be you. That is deep. When everyone doubts us, we shouldn't doubt ourselves. Thank you for this, my friend.

When we begin to seek approval from life, we will get disappointed and not get the approval instead we might face rejection

Exactly. The approval we seek, we won't and can't find it...and when we don't, we would always feel disappointed and discouraged. Thank you very much for this.

This is a great message. The most important thing in life is to live and walk with God by all means because he will never backbite us no matter what, he is always with us.

Nobody can recall help you except you do.
Life is per head.
You just have to look out for yourself and improve on your skills to keep getting better and better everyday.
That's how to attract the best life.
Nice one

Look out for yourself. Do what makes you have clear conscience enough to sleep at night. Absolutely, brother.

It's important to remember that self-doubt is a common experience, and there are many strategies for overcoming it. Seeking validation from within, surrounding yourself with supportive people, focusing on personal growth, and holding onto God are all valuable approaches

Who we surround ourselves with matters a lot in this life. Your journey will be made or mar by the quality of those around you. Life is stressful. God is the ultimate and He makes our journey easier regardless.

This is a beautiful poem. Well done.

It's true what they say, show me your friend and I will tell you who you are or aspire to be. That's it. Our association matters a lot in life. Thanks a lot for this.

It is true that only we decide, and GOD is the basis, he is that supreme being that motivates us to do what we want and is the only one that really influences in our favor always, we do not have to expect anything bad from GOD, having faith is the key of the life

Absolutely...we don't need to expect anything bad from God. God wants the best of things for us and we just have to tap into better things from Him through faith.

Thank you, my friend.

I really like the message your poem is passing. We should put our focus on God and forget about all those side talks people might be saying about us.

God above all. People will always talk but when our focus is on God...no one else's opinion would matter.
