We Out
<p>
After reading a lot of status posts, I felt that many people here are very down on themselves. They may be depressed, upset with themselves, thinking about giving everything up. So, i guess consider this some sort of work to turn to. If you EVER feel that you aren't good enough, that you aren't worth the time of anyone, or perhaps doubt your own abilities to succeed, then read, gloss, skim through, or perhaps annotate this to your leisure. You wake up in the morning, the sun shines, or the rain falls. Not as soon as you take your feet from the covers, you hear the voices in your head. "You are terrible" "Nobody likes you" "Nobody misses you" "You aren't pretty enough" "Nobody is ever going to date you" "You're better off without anything" Telling you that you are anything less than good. You get out of bed, the messages of these demons flooding your mind like a torrent of water. Five thousand voices in your head shout with unnerving strength, claiming to have any knowledge over who you really are. Not as soon as you look in the mirror do you realize that your fears are real. As staring you back in the face is the demon you have such disdain for: yourself. Yet, although five thousand voices shout at you, telling you that you are no good, awful, unlikable, ugly, there is one voice that begs to differ. <em>"You can do this" "The day is yours to take" "You can be a good person. You're capable of it" "You are capable of anything" </em> But, as the voices cloud your head, the message becomes muddled. Perhaps you think that there is no positivity, nothing to do, nothing to gain by taking the mental beating. You feel alone, trapped as an army of voices try to convince you of your inferiority. Yet, just because they outnumber you does not make them correct. Maybe, your back is to the wall. You want to tune the world out simply because everything you do, according to the voices, isn't good enough. They try to convince you that you aren't good enough, that you should simply give up. Maybe you've tried, maybe you feel that the only way to stop the voices is to listen to them. But as powerful as these voices are, they are far from invincible, and it takes one thing and one thing only to win: determination. Not from any video game, no, but real hard work and perseverance. Maybe you've tried, maybe you think "It doesn't get better", or "I can never be happy." There are people who are happy, and there are those who have yet found a way to make themselves happy. It starts with you. The demon in the mirror looks you back with a sinister look to break you down, to beat you to your knees and leave you there to rot. It wants you to think that you are all alone, defenseless in all nature. It wants you to think that you have nothing, nobody at all to turn to. But you do. The way you beat the demon back is as simple as smiling in the mirror. Look yourself straight in the eyes. Are you disgusted with yourself? Look closer, past your doubts, past your insecurities, your mistakes, shortcomings. Look at what really matters: the beautiful individual who has passions, dreams, ideas that they have so much time to explore and chase, like a butterfly on the wind. ************************* People don't just be happy. No differently do they BE successful, BE an all-star, BE a leader. You cannot just simply look in the mirror one day and say "I am fine!" This is the battle against an opponent that can exploit you better than anybody else, as it is you. It knows your weaknesses, your doubts, your issues, and it will throw those at you every day until you let them ruin you. You must fight for a long time to defeat them, as they are so many. But the day you realize the truth of your greatness is the day you officially break free. The way you defeat the voices in your head, blocking out all roads is to combat them with your successes. The thing is, why we cannot think of our successes is that there are simply so many, we forget. The bad things are the ones that take up residence inside your head permanently. How you evict them is by looking at how great you are. Never lose hope, never quit, never surrender. So, when legions of voices are shouting at you to stay in bed, that this is meaningless, pointless, and endless, listen to the one voice in your head telling you to look forward and march on, and <strong>rise up.</strong> (Very all over the place. Love you all!)
