THE SLAVE & THE FREEMAN.
By chayoma
Sometimes in life there are decisions we make that can either mar
us or make us, some of these decisions have to do with other
peoples' influence in our lives or our own free self-willed
desire. a man that allows people to think for him, can not really
call himself a free man. how can a man be free if he does
not think for himself, people who are bound to the influence or
suggestions of other people, be it subtle or direct are slaves to
those people. it is always a wise thing to have a mind of
your own.
As whitney houston sang in one of her songs, the greatest love of
all, " i've decided long ago, never
to walk in anyone's shadow if i fail, if i succeed, atleast i'll
live as i believe". well some people could be
wondering how one can live without taking advice from other
people, one can listen to some peoples' advice &
then weigh the pros & cons, before embarking on their
proposed venture, if they are not certain of the particular road,
which they are about to tread on, but it is not everyone we
should give access into our lives, we should be mindful of the
kind of people we allow to speak into our lives.
we should thrive to be our own person, don't be a photocopy of
someone's original, be the original you & let people
admire you for that uniqueness which you exibit, which no one
else can be able to comprehend, no matter what you think you
look like, you have that unique thing about you,
which no other individual can be able to copy.
BE YOURSELF, BE ORIGINAL & BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE.
