A thick skin — best way to combat life blows

This will be really short as it addresses the specifics.

Life is not going to be all we expect it to be, life is definitely not going to be a jolly ride, life will definitely throw blows at you. Life will be so hard at some point, but through it all you need to keep your gaze on the crown (or goal as it may be). You need to be ready to withstand all of the things you will face so as not to end up a phase in life.

You won’t want to become a phase, becoming a phase makes you one of the stumbling blocks for others on their own journey. You are the brother that tells another how he can’t achieve things and not what he should do to avoid some mistakes. You don’t want to become a phase coz no one wants to be in the company of a pessimist.

I have learnt to grow a thick skin. Not all the people I hoped will be in my life till now are there, some have come and some have gone and the loop continues till the day we all die. We will have to shed off negative energy suppliers as we grow.

The aim of this short piece is not to start dropping off friends at the very first fight (or argument) but it’s to let you know that when you do, especially when it was a necessary drop, you need to know it’s all part of growth — don’t beat yourself about it.

Develop a thick skin.. 💪
