I Will Study and Prepare Myself

While I appreciate the idea of someone loving me enough to defend me, I think there is very little use in justifying ourselves to people who don't care to listen.

In my years I have learned one very important thing: you can't tell someone to love or hate something. They will decide on their own, based on their God-given senses, what is to their liking and what isn't. Also, there isn't a single thing in this world that has the entire world's approval.

I am not out to get anyone's approval. I am out to be the best person God has intended me to be. I want to fulfill His plans and maximise the abilities He has given me. I know I have been blessed with so much. I want to always be aware of that...for in gratitude, there is holiness.

I don't want to look back on this moment 20 years from now and realize that I had everything I needed to succeed...but just squandered what I had with excuses. If I am to never succeed, let it be with the knowledge that I did everything I possibly could.

I have a phrase that I keep reminding myself with; something that Abraham Lincoln once said. I will study and prepare myself, and someday my chance will come. The chance comes for every single one of us...the question is, will we be prepared when it does? I want to be. Therefore, I will not waste time making comparisons, badmouthing, complaining or justifying my current circumstances.

If people want to think I am ugly, poor or talentless, I say let them. I know for a fact that I am none of these things so I do not need to convince them otherwise. I know in my heart what I have to do to improve myself and that is all I will do, and I will do all this quietly and diligently. There is no need to shout about anything. People have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I believe one day, my chance will come. I believe because I was made the flowergirl.
