The whispers are not facts.
In the realm of mortal doubts, where shadows of self-questioning dance, Opinions, like echoes in the wind, will attempt to dictate our stance. Yet, within the core of your being, a flame burns bright and true; don’t let the whispers of others dim the radiance that is you.
You look at the mirror and see a face that doesn’t match your expectations; you look at the world and see a place that doesn’t fit your aspirations. But the mirror is not the truth; it’s just a reflection that can change with your perspective. But the world is not the end; it’s just a section that can grow with your objective.
In the gallery of life, comparison paints a deceptive art, Illusions of others’ perfection tearing at your heart. But remember, beneath their polished facade, Every soul conceals battles fought along the way.
Self-doubt is a tempest that seeks to drown your spirit, Yet within the storm, your resilience lies in silent sleep. Awaken the warrior within, rise above the crashing waves, for every trial faced, a stronger, braver soul it paves.
You hear the whispers and feel the stares that judge you without knowing you; you hear the silence and feel the fears that haunt you without showing you.
But the whispers are not the facts; they’re just opinions that can fade with your confidence. But the silence is not the void; it’s just a pause that can break with your resilience.
Let the doubts be traitors, yet fear them not, my friend; in attempting, in striving, we comprehend our true greatness. Your unique melody plays in the symphony of life: Don’t surrender to the darkness; let hope light your days.
The past is not the present; it’s just a lesson that can teach you how to improve; the future is not fate; it’s just a vision that can inspire you to move.
So, when the urge to give up whispers its deceptive song, remember! Resilience and courage belong in your heart. Embrace the inner light, let it guide you through, for in your journey’s tapestry, a masterpiece will come through.
