THE TROUBLED MIND ( 3 AM)

Have you forgiven yourself? yes am talking to you, il ask once more have you forgiven yourself? for all the things you couldnt accomplish at the time you had set out? Have you forgiven yourself? Your heart feels heavy and you have so much sadness and envy inside. That little sting you feel when someone achieves something, that little voice inside your head that says why not me you need to heal from that. Most of the time the hate and the envy you have is projected by your own failures, mostly its about the things you couldn't achieve because for some reason you have put yourself under a lot of pressure to achieve everything at once forgetting that our timelines are different therefore you should not compare your life with someone's life. You need to remind yourself that everyday is a new day and you can start again, you need to know that everyday is an opportunity to better your life. Its amazing that human beings are so obsessed with success but only 20% puts in the work required to be successful. I believe the first step towards a successful life we all firstly need to forgive ourselves for the dreams that we have not yet achieved, we need to heal from the things that stole our joy, we need to face our demons and overcome them. Success is different for different people and we all can achieve it if we have the right mindset, if we have forgiven ourselves, if we take the time to realise the beauty of waking up everyday with an opportunity to change our lives. Eliminate that voice in your head, the envy, the sadness, the disappointment and let go of the burden you are carrying. It was a bad experience but it taught a lesson, it was a bad day not a bad life, it did not happen as you planned it but that does not make you a failure, yesteday was not productive but you are given an opportunity today. Stop counting material stuff and start counting your blessings, we are so caught up in the lavish lifestyles we see on social media and television that we forget to look around and see our blessings. The reason half the population is so stressed is because happiness and success are perceived to be brought upon by having material possessions of this world, hence the hate and the envy. Take a moment and think about your thoughts if they are working against you or with you. BY: Olebogeng R Motsanana

Cultural diversity refers to the variety of cultural or ethnic groups within a society. Imagine a beautiful tapestry, with each thread representing a different culture, tradition, and heritage.
