Of late, I haven’t been thinking of myself as a very good human being. However, I recently read a quote by one Mr M.K Gandhi that goes something along the lines of “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.”
Gets me thinking….if I keep thinking of myself as bad, I’ll probably drop my standards of what is acceptable and what is not and probably repeatedly do things that I shouldn’t. I don’t want to do that. My standards are high and I should keep aiming to achieve those standards even if I fall.
I’ve realized, it’s so easy to slip in life. It’s easy to fall and stay down. It’s easy to say “this is who I am and I shall never be any better”. It’s easy to feel ashamed and not to fight the shadows in your head, the doubts and the fears. I think I’ve come very close to understanding why people chose to give up their lives or just throw it away with their vices. I’ve decided I will not be like that. I shall not forget my mistakes and I shall still hope that life will give me the opportunity to redeem myself. However I will not let them bring me down and let my life slip away. I shall become the man I want to be.
