Don’t hide who you are because the lips of others said so. Don’t sit back in silence because the actions of others have paralysed you into fear. I ask you to proudly show the world your colourful imagination. Embark on a journey only you will understand but never forget to lace your story with a subliminal message for those who can’t write their own story. Blaze the trail for those who look in the mirror and see talent, see potential, see a future but don’t see the strength to share it. Enjoy your youth but live it for a future without regret. See the world as your oyster but always see home as your seed, and for that, be eternally grateful. Always remember who you are, don’t let the light from this glamorous world blind you, don’t let the mouths of liars eat you up, don’t let the scent of the newly nearing smell of success cause you to miss a beat. Take your time, analyse every stepping-stone before you leap. If you can then gain courage after facing your struggles, I motivate you to then leap first and look later. But with every step forward, paint a picture of every stage in life you have already passed; whether it is a dark portrait or a blissful composition. Award yourself with the prize of pride and let your light shine so bright that it would be the greatest task for others to ignore. The world is full of beautiful people with bad intentions, its not your fault, don’t let them dull your light. They don’t know how to stride gracefully because they don’t even know how to creep on their own amongst their demons. Don’t hate your neighbour because he doesn’t help you build a fence, rather share yours and show him how to build his own on another side. Create a domino effect of success and build a community of winners, a county of strivers so you can live in a society of overachievers. Yes it’s true, individuals will embark on a journey just to pull you down, see you fall and then decide to waltz all over you with glee. Always remember envy isn’t even jealousy, don’t take it as flattery because the only thing those individuals know is greed. Stand tall and distinguish the differences of a fellow citizen from your friend. Shake the hand of the man who passes you in the bustling streets; but love the man who walks beside you through the lonely desert. Those malicious people who can step on their brother on their way out the door, will all fear you in the end because you are something they’ll never be; your true self.
