BE RESILIENT.

Fear is one of mankind's weakness & hindrance in progress, I understand it can't be helped as it is part of our genetic encoding. We all get scared every now & then leading us to shy away from taking bold steps in life. We have become consumed by the fear of 'what if' that even when making the simplest of decisions we can't do it without our adrenaline kicking in high gear. 

Am not saying that it is a bad thing to be fearful but one comes to learn that in this life one needs to be a risk taker if you want to move forward in all you do. I have not heard of any successful individual who didn't take a risk in getting where they are right now in their life. Let us put that aside, by show of hands how many of you believe that your friends have your best of interest at heart. 

Anyone? I see that some of you are only raising your hands half way. It is that bad huuh! From what am seeing it is becoming quite evident that not everyone we are associated is beneficial for our wellbeing. The level of betrayal that has emerged these days  from any kind of relations one has seems so intense as we can no longer trust nor rely on those around us. 

I may seem to have gone off topic but look at this from this angle, who is more likely to drag you down in this current times. Who will be willing to watch you burn to save their own skin? You guessed it that other person who is selfish, self-centred & only seek to build themselves. 

Have you not noticed that those whom you called your friends don't always seem happy when things start working out for you. There is this saying that goes like, "a listening ear is also a running mouth". You need to watch your back not all those whom smile with you are happy for you. I have nothing against having friends, just watch what you say around them. 

Your downfall may just be brought by those closer at heart than you think. All what am saying is that if you come to the realisation that an aspect of your life is likely to bring your life tumbling down, you need to brace yourself to losing one or two people along the way. You need to surround yourself with people who help you see life differently. Know that in life it is not about what happens but more about how you handle it.
