CHANGING THE NARRATIVES

Sometimes it can be quite a challenge to take a close look at oneself and even when we get to take a clear picture, we easily surrender to compromise. We find it hard to tell ourselves the truth so many times which makes us lean towards the side of trying to bring other's down just so we can feel a little better about ourselves. No one likes to be spoken ill of but then we don't mind speaking ill of people to save our skin.

There is one funny and interesting thing I've come to learn about those that try to hide their own skin by putting others in a hot seat, most of the time they end up seating at that very seat themselves and even making their own punishment worse. As humans we are supposed to be there for one another but somehow we just feel more comfortable going against each other for so many selfish reasons.

We easily get sentimental when we are found wanting. Even sometimes, these sentiments push us to the point when we even sell our lives to the hands of someone just because of an immediate pleasure we wish to benefit from. The problem comes when we are asked for our lives later on, then we start saying it's unfair forgetting we were the ones that promised to answer that call anytime.

Most of the problems we are facing in our individual lives and the world at large is as a result of some selfish decisions we've either made for ourselves or for those we love. So many times, we do forget our worth, our values that we trample on them on the floor by ourselves. The problem is, we easily give in to things without thinking of fighting back even when we are sure it's the right thing to do but because we have a temporary offer, we sell off our values like they were a piece of trash.

The last time I wrote about we learning to value others but today, I'm focusing more on YOU and I, we should learn to value ourselves, let's know that we worth so much more than we can even think. Yes, we have made grave mistakes in the past but then the fact that you are reading this only means you still have the time to wright your wrongs. Just giving in to those blackmails of the things we've indulge in at one point in our lives would hinder so many things from going right so we have to learn to take responsibility for our actions.

This is obviously not for the weak neither is it for the strongest but it's for those who are willing to change the narratives, don't let the narratives change you any further. Taking responsibilities is one of the hardest things to do most of the time and that's why we have to start doing things that will make taking responsibilities easy for us and I don't advice anyone to give up on themselves.

It's time to put in effort to change the narratives and don't just let anything go. When you see that something is not as it should be, we should be able to speak up and make Sure things are done the right way. Those before us might have done that mistake but we should be wise not to repeat them again because trust me, if they have the opportunity we have, they will try to avoid making that mistake again so why involve ourselves in them?

These words might seem like unrealistic but I believe it's better we try it first and fail before saying it's unrealistic. Until next time friends, stay AWESOME and JIGGY and also make sure to have a different week!
