“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain
There is a huge pull on you to conform to the ways of the world. You’ve got to stand strong and firm. Rise above that which is prohibited by the Almighty. Rise above the darkness. Don’t give in or compromise. The choice is yours.
The company you keep says a lot about you. Friends have a big influence over how you feel, think & behave. Beware the ones who will mould you to become like them. Some will control you till you mimic their behaviour.
“People come in and out of your life. For a time they are your world; they are everything. And then one day they're not. There's no telling how long you will have them near.”
If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. If they’re mean to you, be kind to them. If they curse and swear in your presence, offer a good word to them.
You think you have it tougher than others. Stand your ground. Hold on to your faith, your integrity. Don’t let anyone sidetrack you. Tough times will reveal your true character.
"Never apologize for how you feel. No one can control how they feel. The sun doesn’t apologize for being the sun. The rain doesn’t say sorry for falling. Feelings just are." #quotes#sayings
Sometimes it's the people who refuse to be hardened in this world because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt.
