Be Like The Sun!!!

Do not let the world control you, Rule your world because you own it all. I was quietly sitting on my couch this morning, thinking of what to write today. I thought for about ten minutes and I still didn't get what to write about. Then I head to Instagram. I was seeing various posts of different people. Then I thought of writing about the societal influence on people. Both negative and positive.

Let's start from the African greeting culture. In an African society, a young child is supposed to greet an elderly man whenever they meet. This has been in existence since time immemorial but it has changed now. I guess that African kids are trying to be like some other people which is not right. If you feel like, someone is supposed to be respected, respect him. Do not think about what others will say. It's your world. The way you live your life is literally no one's business. Do not follow the societal negative vices just because you want to impress some certain people. Don't do that.

Also, some people think about what other people will say. Let me give you an instance. If you're a Prophetess and you unfortunately got married to a man that beats you almost everytime. You gotta leave the marriage. Do not think about the query you'd face or what other people will say. Life is so sweet and important. Recently, I saw a news on Instagram. A man killed his Prophetess wife due to too much beating. This man beat the woman to coma and from what the family told the public, they said the man has been beating her for so long but the woman doesn't want to leave the marriage because she's a Prophetess. How on Earth will you choose to die because of what people will say? And now she's dead. She allowed the world to control her by not ruling her world. You're the right person to rule your world.

Most of us are ruled by the world simply because we want to be like other people. Some people are not contented with what they have. At times, you might have known a guy for years and he tends to be a very hardworking guy. But recently, he's claiming to be a fraudster. He wants to be like the other fraudster out there. He wants to live a very luxurious life. Yeah it cool. We all want to live a luxurious life but do it in a righteous manner. Now, the guy has forgotten about his dream to be a medical doctor and he's now a fraudster. The world ruled him by influencing him negatively. But there's something I've always said. The world cannot be able to influence you if you do not wish to be influenced. You're old enough to know your right and wrong. You're old enough to stay in your lane without getting distracted by other waves.

Let's take the sun as an example. No matter how much people complain that it's too hot, it won't stop doing what it wants to do. The sun is one of the most focused in which I can use as an example. It does it's thing the way it wishes. I'm not telling you not to heed to people's advise, but at times, turn deaf ear to what other people say and do your thing.

No one influences the sun. The sun may decide to be very hot to peel humans skin simply because it wishes. The sun has never tried being harmattan just to know how harmattan feels. The sun is so focused. It comes out at the right time and also goes in by the right time. No matter how much we complain about the hot sun, if the sun doesn't want to reduce the temperature, it won't. I love the sun mostly because it does it's thing in his own way.

Can you rule your world?

Can you be like the sun?

Can you stay away from wanting to be like other people?

Can you stop impressing people?

If yes, you're a sun. Don't stop!!! Keep going!!!
