As time passes, and as we grow, we begin to see what matters most in our lives and we begin to think of ways of achieving our goals. Some people want to be the next Beyonce, others want to have a modest and peaceful life, away from all the craziness of life. Whatever our aspirations, as we mature, we begin to work towards achieving something great.
We meet people along the way, some stay and some don't. But every person plays an important part in building us as people, and if we are wise, we would learn not to take anyone for granted, even the ones that don't mean well. We learn that it benefits us not to build relationships off of deceit and it certainly benefits us not to betray people or the trust they place on us. We do not need to have a million friends, when we have a few honest ones, but we do not have to have a million enemies either. As we mature and grow older, we realise wether friend or not, we strive to be at peace with every single soul we come across.
We are human and we make mistakes, and sometimes we are selfish in the way we interact with the world but we grow and we realise that it is an everyday struggle to be the best version of us and from this, we strive honestly. We learn to let go of pride, a chronic condition that prevents us from amending broken relationships, from acknowledging our shortcomings, from accepting who we truly are as people. As we grow, we do away with pride, and then we make progress.
We learn that we are not always right, we acknowledge that sometimes, maybe a lot of times, we are at fault and that a different opinion does not mean a reason to fallout. And that we can all live in peace, no matter the difference in age, sex, colour, religion or lifestyle choice. As we grow older, and as we mature, we learn to understand the essence of retaining our values while respecting the values of others, and in that finding peace and comfort everywhere we are.
Thoroughly enjoyed it
