Define Yourself

Often times people tend to be
bothered about what someone
else think of them.
I for one I am guilty of this.
And it has affected me a lot.

Don’t compare.

It is sad comparing yourself to someone else.
You have your life to live, likewise the other person.
Don’t try to compare yourself to others.
Comparing yourself with another person is not fair to you or to them.
Because you have different backgrounds, different fears, different thoughts,different abilities.

I was talking to my younger sister recently.
She has been depressed because she has been unable to gain admission into the university.
And then she was comparing herself to her classmates in secondary school who are already in the university.

I made her understand it is not how far but how well.
Going to the university and finishing with good grades should be her priority.

It is not the challenges we face that defines us, it’s how we deal with it.

As far as you are still breathing, you will face challenges.
How you deal with these challenges is what defines you.
Never let whatever you are going through
define you.

Deal with your problems the best way you can.
Challenges are meant to make you stronger.

Accept no one’s definition of your life, Define yourself.

Preach! Now you can shout this at the top of your voice!

It's yourself. You own the self. No one should determine who you should be.

lol... I know right!😁

@ibukun you said it perfectly in this- It is not the challenges we face that defines us, it's how we deal with it.

Thank you for reading 😊
