Hello Gorgeous,
I want to share with you this story I reflected on recently.
Am sure you are familiar with the story or heard about it in form of song from the renowned musician Ebenezer Obey: An old couple had a donkey.
It was their only means of transport to and fro.
One day they were riding together on the donkey, some villagers saw them and commented: "Two people on a donkey's back? Poor animal!" The couple were affected.
On their next outdoors trip, the old man sat on the donkey while his spouse walked. The villagers saw this and said: "He's letting his wife walk? How cruel!" The old man was shocked.
On their way back home, he asked his spouse to sit on the donkey while he walked. The villagers saw it and said: "Letting the wife ride the donkey? How stupid!" The old man was at his wits' end.
At the next outing, both him and his spouse walked while taking the donkey along. This time, the villagers exclaimed: "What idiots! They don't even know how to utilise the donkey!"
Have you ever had similar experiences as the old couple?
The feeling like nothing that you've done is right.
Well, I want to let you know that people will always have something to say about what they see. Everyone has their own perspective on what to do, when to do, how to do things. But they are not YOU.
They may not know you well, they may not know your intents, neither will they really care.
What is most important is you stay true to yourself.
Do what you have to do and don't feel guilty or sad because of what others say about you and of you. You are not your past, neither will your present define your future. Everything great in your future comes from a little shift in your perspective.
Love and forgive yourself and stay true. Fight on!
Be inspired.
