What Period (.) has taught me about life
In grammar, “a period is a small dot-shaped punctuation mark that is used at the end of any sentence that is intended to make a statement.” (Ginger Software, 2019)
In life we have to make a significant end. How?
Learn to end the things that don’t serve you best. These are the things that keep you away from what you are capable of. We have to end SELF-DOUBT, ENVY, WRATH, PRIDE
Stop doubting yourself. Learn to appreciate who you are. Trust what God can do to you. If you will not believe in yourself, who else will?
Stop comparing yourself to others. This blinds us from what we have. Use your resources to the fullest. In the words of Adler, “what people do with what they have is more important than what they have”.
Stop hating others. Learn to forgive. “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.” (1 John 2:9)
Stop being dominated by PRIDE. This only restricts you from growing. Saying sorry is not and indication of defeat, rather, it is a beacon that will shine light to others. Learn to accept defeats because these shape us, teach us priceless lessons.
Life has taught me that an end is not always a defeat. It is rather a commencement of another endeavor to succeed.
This is how I use period. How about you?
