The Rich Uncle

VERY HARD TO BE MAN!

 When you succeed to sleep after a tough day, you do not want to wake up when you think about the mountain of problems that you have to solve.

Nobody will service you for nothing, every favor you will receive, will fall from your hard work.

Your well-being is not the priority of anyone, and everybody does not care about what you feel inside.

Most of the time, you will be alone to face adversity, lost in your thoughts, full of rage, pain and depression.

Every day is a new combat with its challenges, its pressures and numerous demands to be satisfied.

Women do not care about your pain; your peers do not worry about your suffering. You have to fight alone to make it out.

Society does not care about what a man thinks and feels, she is more misandrist.

You value depends on what you have already accomplished or depends on what you will accomplish. It is in function of this that people will give you respect.

It is hard to be man, sometimes you blame yourself harshly, you want to be far away from yourself.

Your responsibilities are very voluminous and scary, you do not have enough strong shoulders for all this, but you have no one to turn to.

You feel the need the need to cry, but the idea that society will see you as a weak man, a crybaby, a weakling, even makes you more scared.

The truth is that your tears do not signify anything to anyone, on the contrary it will be used by your enemies, to better weaken you.

While people think that everything is going splendid for you, at the bottom yourself is a slow death.

This ode to men, is destined to censor and comfort, because I am one of them and I know what we are subjected to everyday. Men endure innumerable sufferings, but society, has no sympathy for our pain.

When you are born a man, you are made to suffer your whole life. Knowing that no one will come to your rescue, is demoralizing, you will always be alone against all odds...

Women are funny to me

 Women are funny to me.

1- He is the one who lost you, but you are the one crying everywhere.

2- He will never find another woman like you, but you are the one supervising his every move and gesture, secretly wishing for a reconciliation.

3- You are very beautiful woman who cannot lack guys, but you are unable to digest your separation.

4- You do not have anything to reproach yourself,you are right all the way,but why do want to justify yourself so much?

5- You say you are a woman of value, a woman of substance, but why are so hurt, when a man who did not deserve you, decide to breakup with you?

Can a woman of value lack serious suitors?

What killed the Frog 🐸

 Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.

 As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.

 The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature...

 Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore...

 At that point the frog decides to jump out...

 The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature...

 Very soon the frog dies.

 What killed the frog?

 Many of us would say the boiling water...

 But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.

 We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront/face.

 There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action...

 If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so...

 We have to decide when to jump.

 Let us jump while we still have the strength.

 Think on It !!

How Overthinking Kills from within

 SEE HOW OVERTHINKING IS KILLING YOU...

Overthinking means to think too much about (something): to put too much time into thinking about or analyzing (something) in a way that is more harmful than helpful.

Overthinkers may have trouble distinguishing between the fear of making a mistake, which leads to overthinking to the point where they make no decision, and a deep feeling that something is wrong. 

Knowing if fear or intuition is guiding your behavior will help you get out of your head and take the next necessary steps.

SIGNS THAT YOU OVERTHINK

▶️Difficulty following along with and contributing to a conversation because you go over potential responses or statements time and again until the conversation has either ended or the window of opportunity for speaking was lost

▶️Continually comparing yourself to the people around you and how you measure up to them

▶️Focusing on worst-case scenarios either involving yourself or the ones you love

▶️Reliving past failures or mistakes over and over again and you're unable to move past them

▶️Worrying about future tasks and/or goals until they feel almost impossible to accomplish

▶️Reliving a past traumatic experience (such as abuse or the loss of a loved one) leaving you unable to cope with it

▶️An inability to slow down the racing of vague thoughts, worries or emotions

HOW TO OVERCOME OVERTHINKING

➡️Don't think of what can go wrong, but what can go right.

➡️Distract yourself into happiness. Meditate of positive outcome. 

➡️Stop waiting for perfection.

➡️Accept your best. Celebrate your little wins

➡️Know you are a work in progress,you are not above making mistake.

➡️Be grateful for what you have as you wait for what you are expecting

Stop overthinking and act now.

7...Invest in yourself. Make yourself happy.

20...Be good at what you do.

TELLING THE STORY

Once upon a time, there was a man who had a wife and ten children. He was a happy man. Every year this man used to take his wife and children far away into the forest. And on getting there he would sit them down together, and would begin to teach them to beat the drum, to dance the dance, to sing the song and to tell the story. And they would go back home happy, for the story linked them with their beginning.  Soon, the man died. And his children came together and said: 'we do not know the way to the forest, but let us stay at home and beat the drum, dance the dance, sing the song and tell the story'. So they did, and the were happy. Soon, these children died. And their children came together and said: ''We do not know the way to the forest, neither do we know how to beat the drum, but let us stay at home and dance the dance, sing the song and tell the story''. So they did, and they were fulfilled, for they found meaning in the story. Soon, these children died, and the generation after them came together and said: "We do not know the way to the forest, nether could we beat the drum nor dance the dance, but lets stay at home and sing the song and tell the story. So they did, and they were healed, for the story made them feel at one with the cosmos. Soon, this generation died, and those after them came together and said:

"We are the most unfortunate of all. We do not know the way to the forest, neither could we beat the drum, nor dance the dance, nor sing. All we have left is the story. Let us then tell the story, so that we can be made whole. So they did, and were transformed".

We, the people of today, we have lost everything. All we have left is the story. The day we lose the story, then it is all over for us. The day we forget our story, that day is the end for us. We need the prophets, the visionaries, and the mystics to keep reminding us, to keep retelling the story, to keep on singing the song. Modern men and women need to keep on retelling their story, so that they may live.
