Speaking My Truth
People have got different beliefs about various life aspects that form the basis on how they live and undertake their duties. Since my Childhood, I have believed on hard work as the way to succeed in life. Everybody from my parents, teachers urged me to work hard and will get the benefits in future. I took the issue in earnest and started working hard while at school, home and in community activities. For real during those days hard work used to pay on everything that I did. In my class, I always used to top, and that was attributed to the efforts I put in my studies. Despite there were challenges and peer pressure I worked towards to have good morals, and that helped me when I was selected as the student leader.
Back at home, I was my Mom's favorite, and she could always scold off my brothers and ask them to emulate my traits. All this time I did not realize the kind of envy I was attracting. My brothers kept a lot of secrets away from me since I shared a lot with my parents. As the life events have shaped me, I feel the hard work was working against me. Apparently, it helped to accomplish many life missions such as getting special presents and holiday trips from my parents. Nevertheless, the belief prevented me from knowing other life tricks of getting your way without necessarily having to work.
As mentioned before at school I was selected as one of the student leaders. Ostensibly, it's a prestigious thing to be selected as a student leader. However, the selection comes with consequences such as suspicion from other students as you being one of the spies to the school authority. Besides, there will be envy since maybe you are working harder and defeating them in class work.
My belief in hard work got a test at after my 23 years old birthday when I had not seen him for years. I was the brightest of all my siblings, and that raised my expectations I was to get the best in life. It took more years to study than my brother whom left early and went on to carry out other businesses. Besides, he got married earlier thereby providing him with ample opportunity of settling up. Still on with my studies, I have not seen any of it pay off. Besides I keep painting and work hard to date, I strongly feel that has not paid off in my life as expected.
On the contrary, I have the least when it comes to wealth, social life. In brief everything that I was promised to get while young that I was to gather if I worked hard. It's the reverse of roles where unlike during my childhood I am now the one envying my siblings because of the achievements they have made in life. I strongly feel they had done nothing to achieve it. At times I feel they may have some charms that enable them to take all that I dreamed to have. It pains to see myself struggling while those who did not work early in their life are enjoying the benefits that I believed could only receive from hard working.
Now my belief having been severely tested, the question that comes into is whether it pays to be rogue in life. I do not see any price for the good morals I have kept in my life so far. The belief on hard work was firmly rooted in me since my childhood. I currently do not have techniques of making shortcuts in life. However, shortcuts seem to pay, and they pay well if they are made smartly. A friend of mine once informed how people might work tirelessly on the farms, but the salesmen will take the most of it. On that note, my question was what about amongst the salesmen themselves. I feel still within that prestigious profession where those who work hard. Most probably the one who does the little pay attention to other life-fulfilling things that make them succeed.
To date, I have never shared my life frustrations to anybody, but I feel there are reaching a breaking point. It almost came out when when one of my brothers whom I despised most during childhood come with an offer to provide me with capital to boost my life. I did not get it right since I strongly believe they do not deserve what they have. All the same, circumstances made me accept the offer and now have to tow his way though have not yet relinquished my belief that one day my hard work will pay. Ideally, is good always to be optimistic and work towards some goals however if an opportunity for a shortcut comes up take it otherwise you will have to regret later. The above is a belief I'm contemplating to form and since my former stance has been severely tested.
