Do you get picked on because you’re fat? Skinny? Asian? Nerdy? Ugly? Stupid?
Does it make you feel hurt? Depressed? Lonely?
Fat Shaming
You’re not alone if you’ve ever been picked on. Everyone of us have insecurities that shame us. It is not the circumstances of our life but how we react to those circumstances that determines our ultimate fate.
The “normal” or “default” response to adversity is to blame external forces, displace responsibility, and live in denial from the hard truth. The hard truth that your present circumstances are entirely created by your past actions.
There is a decision that must be made. Will you continue to live this life of denial, anger, and frustration? You already know where this path leads. You’ve been walking it for your whole life.
Or will you decide to take full responsibility for your life. To change every aspect about yourself that you don’t like. And to take powerful action for the rest of your life.
Own your successes. Own your failures. Take ownership of your life. You are not a leaf drifting in the wind. You are a human being. The captain of your soul. Take the helm. Be courageous. Be the captain. Live with direction. Live fearlessly.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
