The man who tells everyone his pain often becomes attached to the sympathy it brings. Suffering can become a social identity if it gets attention, excuses, and softer expectations. A serious man does not turn wounds into a public performance. He turns them into private intelligence and changes the structure that produced them.
I don't know why I am even saying all these here but I guess someone will see it and it will save them just as reading Proverbs 12:11 saved me.
Your intelligence and imagination may be the reason you never make it, if you no change to being a doing person.
Im entering a season where everything around me will be evidence of how deeply I chose myself. My body, my home, my routines, my bank account, my peace, my relationships, my whole life is about to reflect the love I spent years giving away. My turn.
I know the game, but I choose not to play it because I never want to be the reason someone has to beg God for peace. I know how to manipulate, disappear, retaliate, and hurt people where it cuts deepest, but having the ability does not mean I have to use it. Some of us choose restraint not because we are weak, but because we understand the weight of what our actions can do to another person’s spirit.
In this life you need to hold on to your convictions. No matter what.
As a young person you will receive advice from everyone on the planet but you need to be selective AF. Remember that people will give you advice based on THEIR own lives, desires and regrets. Not yours.
If you have a mind full of other people’s problem, you’re likely living for no reason and at all cost life wouldn’t take you as important. This’s exactly how to waste time in life until it’s too late to realize time wait for no one.
