Self worth Inflation

There I would sit in the fire place, listening to stories of great men who emerged from the small townships. The township had a way of entrapping people into the mindset of mediocrisy and poverty. It was from this bondage my dad acted as a moses and tried his best to exode me from. In his coarse and eloquent english he would stroke my ego, "You are a royal bloodline, you are from a legendary family, you are so great you have to achieve in all you do" His words fell on fertile soil, as in all I did I excelled. I was the first soccer player of the year at pinegrove primary, I was bright in my studies an athlete etc. All I partook in I made it a point I exceed the average bar. Second best was never in my ambition. Second to me was losing.

Many people are under peforming in life because they have given up the ambition to over peform. They have accepted the bronze medal. They have allowed themselves to strive for second best. I remember I used to throw away bronze and silver medals. I was not pompous I knew what I deserved. once we miss what we deserve we fall to the bar of the average. Have a selfworth inflation. You were created as one and no other. The prints on your finger match you alone, if they were a cure to a disease you would be the worlds hero. You were fearfully carved with unexplainable calibre of greatness and theres a potential of you being the best the world has ever had. You are heavens display of goods and talents, God's very own show-off experience. Yes he boasts about you, like an eye catching scene from a movie he awaits to see you flaunt your gifts. Think of yourself as capable and able. Remove yourself from the bond of lowly thinking, its possible and if any one can do it, it has to be you. Whatever you put your mind on, it will work in proportion to how much you view yourself.
