It\u2019s often said you can\u2019t love another unless you love\nyourself first,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being kind to others be child\u2019s play while an inside job\nrequires hard work,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expectations, everybody\u2019s got \u2018em, ain\u2019t no crime not to\nlive up to \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re only human, we win and we falter, fuck \u2018em if they\u2019re\nblind to your genuine efforts,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No two people are the same, differences extend to\ncapabilities, save for rarities and extreme anomalies,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gifts and natural talents, everybody\u2019s got \u2018em, for some immediately\napparent, others may search far and wide for it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there has to be a balance, hence the existence of\nweaknesses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folks be mad-flexing on the surface, ain\u2019t nobody buyin\u2019 it,\nbehind the scenes secrets heavily guarded,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With dedication they can be corrected, life\u2019s about\nperpetual growth and learning,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll stumble and fall, too, but you gotta trust the\nprocess,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s an exercise in futility, tying self-worth to what you\ncan and can\u2019t do,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why let mistakes and failures totally consume you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setbacks are a pain, that much is understandable, but will\nyou take steps towards redemption or chip away and crumble?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Realize, too, there\u2019s always someone better in some aspects,\nbut that don\u2019t mean you\u2019re useless and pathetic,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They may have a greater aptitude for it or perhaps a greater\nlevel of experience,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You won\u2019t always have the answers but no shame in admitting\ntemporary ignorance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you may dominate in other areas, rout the competition\nwith your abilities,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\u2019ll look up to you like their idol, yet you\u2019re hung up\non perceived deficiencies,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile you\u2019re neglecting what you\u2019re blessed with, gotta\nnurture \u2018em or lose \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you take for granted you\u2019ll part ways with, don\u2019t let\nyour assets become your losses, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue to learn and grow, become a jack of many trades,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Master the ones that matter, but missteps need not end in\nshame,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must be brave enough to own \u2018em, only then will you be\nforgiven, then make a conscious effort never to repeat \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perfection\u2019s an illusion, to master all things, literally,\nis an impossibility, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the key to your self-esteem is their approval, that\u2019s\nsome next-level insanity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reclaim your self-worth from the hands of others, they don\u2019t\ndeserve such power,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re limited edition, never forget it, fuck \u2018em and their\nexpectations,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twenty four hours in a day, each one nudging you towards the\nend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\u2019re gone forever once elapsed, will you waste \u2018em\nwarring with yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throw off the shackles they\u2019ve placed upon you and the ones\nself-inflicted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Live a life that makes you proud first and foremost, only\nthen will you be truly living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
