Good morning all! Time to get up again and make sure that today is a great day! May be a day where we can grow a thicker skin. People are born in different shapes and sizes and with different thickness of skin. Although, to be fair, you are not so much born with thick skin as you grow it over time. Meaning that even if you believe yourself to be a bit thin in certain areas, you can learn to protect yourself. Having thick skin is one of the most important things in life, not because it helps you not care, but because it helps you understand that most things only affect you because you allow them to affect you. Just because you care about something doesn’t mean that you should allow it to have a negative impact on you or your perspective on life. Having thick skin is caring, is having the strength to keep pursuing what you believe to be right. People with thick skin love themselves and know they aren’t perfect and that they make mistakes. Of course, you’ll always find those who like to think they are flawless, but generally they have already experienced the difficulty with which anything worth pursuing is attained. They got it wrong the first time they tried and they’re OK with it. They’re going to give it another try. Failing the first time around is rough, especially when people realise that their dreams are further off than they expected. Those with thick enough skin to suck it up and keep going are likely to have thick enough skin to fail several more times. Once you fail, you have to accept that failure is again a possibility. Those with the thickest skin will fail over and over again, but will continue pushing forward. Each blow hurts just the same, if not more, but they decided that they will win. And that’s that. Remember, those with thick skin accept their fear for what it is and then move past it. They understand that fear only exists of their own creation and that it can be worked through :-) youtu.be/Fg1kwG5u2xw
