CAN'T SAY SORRY FOR DOING ME

I am a dark skinned lady, a beautiful one at that and I am proud of my skin color... Imagine my shock when I met someone who thought my being dark skinned makes people uncomfortable and I should be apologetic about that instead of proud.

You know at first I was on the verge of saying am sorry if my skin color makes you uncomfortable but I had to stop myself and instead said "I am am who I am, can't be sorry for being dark skinned and I can't apologise for being me or for doing me....If you're uncomfortable, then you're your own problem...I am not your problem"

We shouldnt apologize for being who we are, not for the way we walk, talk or look like. If I am not okay with something about myself then I can decide to change but nobody will shut down my self-esteem, make me unsure of myself or  think less of myself because he or she's got issues

I know often times we overlook these things but if you have ever found yourself in a situation like I found myself it will be nice to share.

STOP! apologizing for being a woman among men, stop apologising for your dentition, the color of your eyes, stop apologising for your skin Color or your opinion, stop apologising for how you decide to handle certain situation.

STOP! APOLOGISING FOR BEING YOU or FOR DOING YOU.

BE THE BEST

Why do some people succeed and others fail? Why will one person seem to go from one level of success to another while another experiences an unending failure? It’s amazing to see two people growing up; one flying up to the peak and the other dragging in the pit. You will want to say life is not fair, yes I know but one thing I want you to know is that you can consciously determine your own lot; although you can’t alter your fate (what happens to you) you can determine your destiny (how your life goes). So, let me show you how to. A young man was once opportune to meet a successful business man after a television interview. The young man asked; sir, how can I become successful in my own endeavours? ‘Be Good’ the successful business man simply replied. The young man looked down and thought a while, then broke the silence as he said, ‘sir, I think I’m very good at what I do.’ On hearing this, the financial icon said, ‘Get Better.’ To this the young man thanked the financial icon, turned

SPECULATION IS ALL THEY'VE GOT ON YOU

So what! If they trash talk you, is that supposed to define you? So you will put your life on hold, regret your actions, change your decisions, sink into depression and unhappiness because of some half baked story??? I have often wondered why humans (youth in particular) think they need other peoples' approval; no matter how hard they try, people will only know you as much as you want them to, So why bother what they say about you or think of you? People will always talk about your life, your beliefs, your family, your job, your choices, your failures and of course your victory..... that is their job!!! You give them an advantage over you if you allow them run your life with their opinions. Someone will ask me if that's THEIR JOB what is mine? There was a time in my life when I thought pleasing people, having them say only good things about me is all that matters to live right. Guess what..I realised I was trying so hard, putting in too much effort to live; I was unh

DON'T WORRY!

We have the same time in a day;... 24 hours... fourteen hundred and forty minutes. So, with time being such a precious commodity, why is it that so many of us spend our days worrying? Worry has almost become a national pastime for most! Some of you may be reading this and thinking, "Yeah, he probably doesn't have anything to worry about." But, that's not true. I have plenty to worry about, I just choose not to and I'd like to suggest that you follow suit and resolve right now, as you read this piece, that you are not going to invest even one of those fourteen hundred and forty minutes worrying... about anything. Clearly understand, Worry serves only one purpose... it makes matters worse. How? Well, quite simply, when you're focused on worrying about something, you'll never be able to focus on a solution. Be aware that your mind cannot focus on two things at the same time... it can either focus on the current situation and worry or a solutio
