Hello Readers,
The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it. Some of the most beautiful and amazing people I have ever known have one thing in common, and that is, ‘humility’, but those with less to boast about usually brag the most. If someone has to boast about their business, career, finances, properties, love life etc., it is to attract attention to themselves because they are continually seeking approval and acceptance from others. However, what they fail to see is that boasting does not attract the right sort of friendships because rather than associating with people who accept them for who they are, they are inviting the hangers on who only want to benefit themselves and no one else, they are only there for a free ride. A session of boasting results in putting a person on a pedestal only to find themselves knocked down again by someone who is not afraid of telling them the truth and other critics. Remember, only small people need to make themselves look big. Boasters are not people who can keep secrets so think twice before confiding in them you deepest, innermost secrets, otherwise the whole world will soon know all your business. Those who brag usually do not have, they only want you to believe that they have more than you and are better than you, when the truth is usually completely the opposite. I have known many boasters who drive around in expensive cars, go on luxury holidays and wear designer gear, but who will rarely if ever invite you into their home for fear of you discovering what a bad state of decay their inner sanctum is in. This is because everything is about ‘front and image’ and their money is used as bait to make people interested in them because the need to impress is of utmost importance. You have heard the expression ‘fur coat and no knickers’, well think twice before allowing yourself to be lured into their web of deception and keep your hand firmly on your wallet. The shallower the brook, the more it babbles.
It does not matter how rich or poor you may be, a good heart, good manners and good intentions will get you everywhere. By showing kindness and consideration towards others and just being honest and genuine will always win you true friends. Never change yourself to be what you think someone else wants you to be. If someone cannot accept you the way you are, they are not deserving of your friendship and love. Stay as lovely as you are and don’t change a thing.
Until Next Week,
Love and Light,
Linda and The Lulas xxx
