NOBODY IS YOUR ENEMY ANYONE THAT ANNOYS YOU --is teaching you patience and calmness. ANYONE THAT ABANDONS YOU --is teaching you how to stand up on your own feet. ANYBODY THAT OFFENDS YOU --is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. ANYTHING THAT YOU HATE --is teaching you, unconditional love. ANYTHING THAT YOU FEAR --is teaching you the courage to overcome your fears. ANYTHING YOU CAN'T CONTROL --is teaching you to let go. ANY "NO" YOU GET FROM HUMAN --is teaching you to be independent. ANY PROBLEM YOU'RE FACING --is teaching you how to get a solution to problems. ANY ATTACK YOU GET FROM PEOPLE --is teaching you the best form of defence. ANYONE WHO LOOKS DOWN ON YOU --is teaching you to look up to CREATOR ( GOD ). Always look out for the lesson in every situation you face in every phase of life. Be polite, calm, gentle and thankful to God because He will be with you to the end. Life had taught me lessons. I do not see people at my cross road, because humans are not reliable. I only see God as the author and finisher of my faith. R E F L E C T I O N S When you live your life without anyone betraying, hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy. The beauty of life, is that it comes with disappointments and betrayals, from people you least expect. Unfortunately, some of us spend so much time crying over these betrayals and disappointments, and end up becoming victims of all circumstances. Remember One Thing: Holding unto anger is like knocking your head on the wall and expecting the other person to feel the pain. You are only hurting yourself. The fact is that the world is full of annoying, naughty, stupid and ungrateful people, and you will always come across them at one point or another in life. But the best thing to do, is to deal with them with wisdom and maturity. You can’t get everyone to love you, think like you or behave like you... never. We must learn to tolerate and overlook certain things, we must try to bury the faults of others and move on with life. Anger, Hatred and Intolerance have caused most of the world's problems and solved none. Life is short, you don't know how much time you have left I beseech you to take the pain and forgive that special person you hold grudges against, and iron out your grievances. Muster the courage and apologise to that person you have offended. Life is not measured by the amount of money, houses or companies you have, but by the positive impact you have made in the lives of others. MAY YOUR DAY BE BLESSED 🙏❤️🎂🤗

Happy Pals.
