Proving oneself.
Why always the need to prove oneself? Why we cannot just be accepted based on face value? Why to believe is so difficult? Or is it just me?
I've been proving my worth since the day i could walk and talk. I never had it easy. But come to think of it, why should i? Yes, IT'S GOD DAMN TIRING, plus no one really know all the crap i've to go thru, but i believe everyone else have to go thru the same shit.
Proving your worth is actually more critical to u, than it is to whom u are trying to prove. It shows u your true self, whether u measure up or found wanting. Goal may still be achieve with alittle help but in your heart u truely know if u really deserve it.
It feels good to be blessed with an easy life, but what's the point of it when u have to worry about someday being presented with a real challenge, whether u measure up or not. I rest easier at night if i'm constantly thrown into the forray, no doubt briused and battered, but alive and with lessons learnt, i'm better prepared to deal with the next battle.
Ultimately we are our greatest critic. We see our weakness which others may not and which is where lies the greatest danger, it may either help us, improve us, or destroy us, casting self doubts on whatever we plan do.
The start of failure is to fail to believe.
I never want to be pitied. I want to be respected, not envied. Envy comes from man's Jealousy. Respect comes from... eh... i dun really know where. haha... But repect is given only when u have done something exceeding the capability of others. They cannot replicate, they can only look on in awe and hope to follow in your footsteps hoping to lead them to where u are.
Many things in life need to be proven, perhap the cruelest thing life could ever do to u is not giving u a chance to do so.
