As i sit down
Whisky on the rocks
A Joint in my hand
I take a sip of this fine whisky and a pull from my joint
And I cant help but think
Why we will never please everyone?
Why people will envy you?
And
Why people will sometimes never understand you?
I mean, i think about my life, my experience, knowledge and memories and cant help but conclude
That people in or who we have come across in our lives have sometimes have not liked me, understood me and envied what i had.
Put yourself in my chair and you will realise the same.
But why, is it because of our successes, our achievements or is it who we are?
Let me say this, this is not a poem
But more of thoughts and how i got to where i am. A life of happiness, peace and honestly blaśe to people negativity, envy and bitterness some of us face.
Look at yourself as unique, we all are gifted, unique and most importantly different. Life is too short to make everyone like you. Yes people will not like you but who honestly cares?
You should not allow a persons liking attitude towards you break you down.
If they dont like you, "Cool" is what i say. Because at the end of the day a person who does not like me does not define who i am or who you should be.
To the person or people who envy what you have, understand that you worked hard to get what you have. Let it be achievements, to possessions and/or your success. You put in the hours, the work, the time and you got the rewards and benefits. Don't feel bad, with hard work comes success so enjoy what you have earned because people will always want what you may have but are not willing to give the sacrifice you gave to get it.
And lastly people that will never understand you
It will always be like that.
I tell people
"Walk a mile in my shoes and you still won't understand the demons i have faced , my past and more importantly what has happened to me that made me who i am today.
People are very quick to judge the outside you but will never ask who the real you is. They will always have an opinion about you but can i tell you something amazing?
Is just one opinion in a world of seven billion people. Do you realise how small their opinion really is.
As i conclude i want to say this
You are different, you are unique
And most importantly you are amazing in your own unique way. So if you come across someone who has an issue with you or whatever they have against you, understand that it will happen but it shouldn't impact you. We were made to be different and just because you not someone's cup of tea, does not mean you have to change who you are, it just tells you that you do not click and that in time you will find someone or people who will understand you, who will be proud of what you have become and accomplished and that will not like but love who you are.
So as i take my last slip of whiskey and finsih the last pull of the joint. I can say life is amazing because i know I am different and unique but i know life is amazing because i finally found people who understand, love and are proud of who i have become.
