For every time a man gets to work without seeing good results, discouragement sets in. This doesn’t often mean that man is not moving or rather excelling but our minds have a way of letting us know how bad or good a situation is. Our mind can often be said to be a very big force that can either make a man or mar him. It is with the mind you make the unseen seen. I remember growing up, I have always been referred to as one who learns every slowly and as time went on, I made the ideas of others crowd my thinking and change the way I think about myself even when I know that what they said was not who I was but I gave in.Three years later, I attended Mr. Desmond leadership class where he spoke explicitly on who we are and what we can always let others think or say about us. When that class ended, I felt like I spent three years living my life based on what others had said and planted in me. I finally had to take a personal cleansing by writing and saying out loud who I am and what I will like to see myself become over the years.You’ve got to always stand up for yourself and never allow anyone speak lowly of your person. It is either you let them into your life with displeasing words which can in turn cause you a lot of lost or you shut your minds against those words and only open up to the best kind of words and associations, you can always think of or imagine.So, as you go through the remaining months of the year, take a personal decision that you will never give in to the negativity of others about you, that you will always stand tall even when it seems like your whole team is against you. You’ve got to remember that the only person you owe dedication and hard work now is yourself, you have to make YOU proud and fulfilled.
