NOT ALL WILL BELIEVE IN YOU

in #nigeria6 years ago

Great Minds,
We all want to be loved and praised, I mean it is inherent of every human to crave to appreciation and praise even when we know we are deficient. In so doing a lot of times we play to the gallery just to buy people's attention to us and have that feeling that we are loved. We want people to believe in us, to believe in our ideas and our dreams.

But there is something wrong with this mentality, because we want people to believe in us, we most times deviate from our real self, we tend to leave what we actually believe in ourselves and who we are. We start to pursue what others like just to win them over and make them believe us, to make them appreciate and perhaps love us.

The truth is not all will believe in you, not all will buy your idea no matter how fantastic the idea is. This we must have at the back of our mind, and continue with whatever idea, aspirations or picture of life we have. Focus and concentrate your effort to perfect and improve in your idea rather than chasing the shadow trying to buy people's attention and wished all follow and liked you.

As a matter of fact, do you know that some persons will listen to your idea, love the idea but out of envy that it is not theirs, they will condemn it and talk you down presenting all the obstacles and giving you reasons why your idea will not work. At the end you are the one loosing out.
Some will steal the idea from you and tomorrow you see what someone told you it can't be done, you see the same person doing it and claiming originality of it.

Quit trying to please people and believe in yourself, work hard to improve and perfect your ideas, have in mind that not everyone will buy your ideas nor believe in you. But one thing is sure, there is always somebody somewhere that appreciate you and your work even if you have not seen him.

Live sweet and enjoy life

It is better to believe in ourselves and stick to what we are good at than
to go beyond our limit to please others. "You really hit the nail right on
the head."
Thanks a lot. @princeso.

When I read your post, I'm reminded of this quote by Bill Cosby,

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Thanks for the reminder!
