Life is a race. Just not the kind you are thinking about.
Itโs not a race against time. Itโs not a race against what you have or have not. Itโs not a race to the finish line. Itโs not about where everyone else is!
When you make it about time, it births anxiety. When you make it about what you have, it births grief. When you make it about getting to the finish line, it births mistakes. When you make it about where everyone else is, it births envy.
Your life is your race! Run it the best way you know how. Run it at the pace you best can. When you fall, and you will fall, pick yourself up. It will be tough but do it!
No one is coming to help you!
No one owes you!
My son, break free from the need to impress men.
Their words may wound your pride, but a lifestyle you cannot afford will wound your future.
Do not spend tomorrowโs peace trying to look successful today.
Be blessed.
If you do not name your price, someone else will name it for you.
A man who does not know the value of his work is like a farmer who does not know the weight of his harvest.
Both must accept whatever price the buyer names.
Weigh your work before you sell it.
You do not get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.
