In todays world it's quite common to see ladies "copy" the lifestyle of others......
"copy" thought patterns.....
"copy" fashion sense....
"copy" lifestyle.......
"copy" routines.....
"copy" skills.....
And the list of "copied" stuff seems endless.

My question is, if we have this many "copies", at what point do we expect ORIGINALS?

Little wonder what we have in this part of Africa are RECYCLED IDEAS!

Little wonder we can't move too far from where we are to WHERE WE SHOULD BE!

Ours minds have closed so much to the ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES surrounding our personalities.

We have ACCEPTED to be kept on a short leash; come to think of it, in reality the era of "slave trade" is gone and NO ONE HAS A RIGHT to keep you against your own wish!

That would be called "Human Trafficking" and my friends, that is a jail able offence.

YOU NEED TO APPROACH LIFE FROM THIS ANGLE TO GET IT RIGHT!

We have SURRENDERED our selves to the SHACKLES OF FEAR our minds have designed for us.

This not to say i am averse to EMULATING worthy things. The clause for me would be EMULATING and SPICING IT UP with YOUR OWN IDEAS.

A sad example is, in this part of the world every young woman is an "aspiring entrepreneur" in the Beauty industry.

When the "trend" is make up, everyone becomes a make up artist, and when is making Wig's, everyone is a Hair stylist!

If you ask me, the Industry must be quite suffocating with all that crowd!

Amazingly, THERE ARE LOADS OF UNDER EXPLORED and even UNEXPLORED INDUSTRIES to MINE!

For me this borders largely on SELF ESTEEM.
The way you THINK,  PERCIEVE or VALUE yourself.

It's time to GET OUT OF THAT RUT, you have sat in the cinders a long time!

Here is what you should do,
1. Replace your NEGATIVE THOUGHTS with PERSONAL AFFIRMATIONS.

2. STOP trying to be PERFECT, all life requires is EFFORT.

3. There is something you do WELL, UNIQUELY and with a lot of ENTHUSIASM, FIND IT and it will prove to you how special you are.

4. Delve into the unknown. DARE TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS. Swim against the Tide and you'll be amazed how much of a GOOD SWIMMER YOU ARE.

5. Don't berate yourself over mistakes, see them as OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW!

6. Accept compliments graciously, stop trying to figure out how "sincere" they are.

7. GET BUSY, find something in your environment you can get involved in. It reduces the time you spend "copying".

8. Develop Personal philosophies and principles that will guide you!

9.Embrace challenges, don't be afraid to TRY SOMETHING NEW.

10. Surround yourself with people who think YOU ARE AMAZING just the way you are!

11. Celebrate your "small wins". I don't believe there such thing as a small win any way. A WIN IS A WIN!

12. Have fun and LOVE LIFE as you go!

You deserve to DIE FULFILLED.......
I won't stop until you become that GIANT.

Love,
A Fragile Giant....
