"Love your life because it's the only one you got!"


A wall is a wall and a human is a human, but our thoughts are completely different to who and what we are. Fear is our dominant drive and we allow it to control us like it is more powerful than us, but the truth is … we can overcome that fear with the learning of self-respect. We are all scared or at one time we were scared of how others think of our selves. We dress certain ways and have certain hair styles, bur most important we act different from who we really are. We showed others a wall and not the real us because we are scared of the judgment that may occur among ourselves. Still would you rather live a life were you can’t be the real you or would you rather live a life were you could show others the real you and be able to trust them? Lack of self-respect a primary challenge and it can’t be fixed just like that; it requires courage and will power and strength and trust.
