If You Don’t Understand Something, Do Not Ignore It

The world is bigger than us. The world is not what you can explore in a day, not even in your lifetime.

So if you are really interested in the world around you, if you want to know more than your own world, if you want to know more than yourself, you must face your own understanding.

If something is new to you, it is an opportunity to get into a different world. Do not waste it!

When you meet other people, especially people who are different from you, who are not from your country, who don’t speak your language, who are struggling to fit into your society, it is an opportunity to get to know them.

It is an opportunity to add value to your own life. It is a great way to check your own past assumptions. And it is a great way to question what you think you already know, especially about other people.

Don’t think you know it all. You don’t know it all. No one knows it all. Why is that? Because the world is bigger than you. It is a global village.

You will learn a lot from other people if you are open to learning.

Remember, learning starts with you. You learn about something when you are really interested in knowing about it. When you are intrested in other people, they will be interested in you.

If you don’t know something, do not just throw it under the rug. Don’t put it aside. Learn more about it. Ask ‘why’ questions.

When it comes to learning, everything is important. When it comes to exploring the world around you, nothing is a waste.

Remember, nothing is a waste if you know what to do with it. If you want to do more, you must understand more. To grow more, you must know more; you must understand more.

If not, you are not going to grow bigger than your own self-created world.

Do Not Waste Yourself In Rejection

Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.”– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is not about rejection; it is about rejoicing. Remember that no one can reject you except yourself. The only person who can reject you is you. Do not reject your life. Because God has a lot in store for you. Do not live in rejection. Instead of beating yourself up for what went wrong, why not celebrate what you have done well? Why not focus on what you have? Many people focus on what they don’t have. They focus on what is not going well for them. That is a waste of precious time. Instead, celebrate your life. Believe in yourself. Believe that everything is going to be okay. Be hopeful that life is going to change in your favor. Believe that God is going to change your life. Believe that you are not going to be where you are next year. Believe that your tomorrow is going to be better than your today.

Rejoice with those who are doing well. Don’t envy them. Celebrate them. When you celebrate other people, God will celebrate you. God will give you more to celebrate. God will show you where to go. For that reason, no matter what you are going through right now, do not give up. As Winston Churchill famously said, “Never, never, never, never give up.” Do not give up on your dreams. Even if you plan to give up, make sure you replace it with something better. Don’t just quit and sit at home. That is a failing strategy. It is not a winning one.

But you can change that. You redirect your life. You can reinvent your life. To do that, no matter what you are going through, you must believe you can change your life. No matter what you face in your life, if you believe in yourself, if don’t believe in rejection, you can get up again. Do you believe in yourself?
