Seeing this week's #hiveghana engagement weekly prompt that wants us to talk about a remarkable quote that always rings in our mind at any moment of our life.
I have a lot of quotes that have guided not just my teenage life but I have them in abundance until my adult life that are still guiding my dealings.
When I reflected on a particular one to share with us today, this particular quote stuck to my brain, and for that, I'm going to talk about it in this publication and I hope that somehow you found it useful as it is very useful to me.
I'm choosing this quote as my favorite out of many others because of how strongly it affected my life in a positive way and also because of my interaction with some friends in recent times.
Growing up I learned this quote from my father, and ever since I held on to it as my guiding lamp especially at my darkest times when I felt like giving up or when life got hard. But his words kept me grounded. Readjust myself, keep my head high, and keep moving ahead.
And yeah! This Quote from my father is still guiding me.
The moment we stop blaming others for our problems, great things will begin to happen to us
My father had always reminded me that In this life, I alone am responsible for my life, and how I choose to live is all up to me. I can't blame anyone, not any situation I found myself in or the environment I live in for my problems. My thoughts and mindset should always be bigger than my situation.
Believe me, for someone who has seen a few things in my few years on this earth my dad is right and I'm glad to have followed his words religiously.
In life, things will happen to us, things that we may never expect, and people we trust may let us down. Those who are supposed to have our back might betray us when we least expect it. Situations might turn at any given time.
So, what do we do when some of these happen to us? Do we play the blame game, be the victim and call people names, or call a pity party.?
Back to those friends I met recently, about three of them all have one thing in common. Someone in their lives they blame for their failure to live their lives to the best of their ability. Due to one form of betrayal or another. And here was my response to each one of them.
You start living your best life the very moment you stop blaming the people in your life. Do you think life isn't fair? so is everyone else. You alone are responsible for whatever happens In your life and how you choose to react is all up to you.
The very moment we realize that no one owes us a single thing In life, That is when we begin to work on ourselves, add value to ourselves, and start taking responsibility for our actions and Inactions.
At that moment we will begin to use every obstacle on our path as building blocks.
Doing all of these, I know is not going to be easy, I never said it would and no one ever said so.
But as long as we are still here and breeding, whatever we set our mind to is achievable.
Sometimes all that is required of us is to rediscover ourselves, change or work on our mindsets, and keep on going.
Was your parents not there enough for you? Forgive them, does a partner betray and let you down? Simply let it go. How they acted toward you is all up to them but how you reacted is all up to you and there lies your superpower, use it well.
One thing you should never do is to let anyone or anything kill that God-given potential of yours.
This is my response to one of the options of this week's #hiveghana weekly engagement topic week-19, do well to join in the fun.
