There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

As a person, I’m often hidden in the bustling crowd as am short in height. Some people think I look like a teddy-bear because I’m chubby but I might just be only a few kilos overweight some people say I have pretty eyes but not more than my mother’s. She is a lot fairer yet I think she is a natural beauty. Some say I have an infectious smile which makes me look even more childish. I do look younger than my age. I wonder if that is a compliment or a curse throughout my life?
As an individual I appear quiet, calm and very arrogant. Simply put, I find it hard to open up to people easily. I generally do not trust human beings due to personal experiences of betrayal. My calmness comes from my patient nature. Many of my close friends are amazed at how patient I remain in sometimes chaotic situations.
I never used to smile as much as I do today. But ever since I met my best friend I realized that laughter is truly the best medicine. I now enjoy laughing out loud and making others laugh also. We all have one life to live why not live it as if each day were the last? But a person who laughs a lot is most probably hiding some sort of grief. The laughter is a cover-up for the suffering he/she is trying to hide from the prying eyes of the world.
That is why I always try to put myself in another person’s shoes to have a better understanding of his/her situation. It is hard but that is why most people tell me that I’m very understanding. I enjoy listening because I like to help others when they get stuck in life. It amazes me how two different persons can react to a same situation in opposite ways. That is why I find human beings intriguing yet I loathe them in the same manner. It does not take more than a fraction of a second for an individual to change from an angel to an animal. So do you really know thyself?
