Running a blog is not easy. You always must find something with
value to offer your readers. It's much harder when you are first starting out
and having a small circle of readers. It is easy to give up everything.
However, it takes a special form of realisation to be able to carry on writing
even if it means only one person reading your blog.
Everyone is equally important.
It is the realisation of this that has given me strength to write again. Even if there was only one soul reading my blogs, I'd still carry on because that one person is just as important as a thousand people. Besides helping me to write again, it has taught me a very powerful lesson
about life and people. These days it is very easy to disregard a person simply
because we think we do not need them. With the influence of social media and
the desire to fit into the higher class, we often find ourselves discarding
people. Sometimes we feel that we are way above such people or better than
them.
We fail to understand that we
are all like pieces to a puzzle. Without that one person, the puzzle is not
complete. Everyone we come across has a purpose to serve. Some bring us memories,
and some give us lesson. While this may sound like it's against discarding a
person, it isn’t. What this is against, is discarding someone from the moment
we meet them. It's okay to cut off someone after they have hurt you or 'taught
you a lesson'. But do not just simply judge a book by its cover. Many times, I
too, have been disregarded before the person even knew my name. And funny
enough, most times the people end up realising the mistake they have made but
by then they have missed out on a lot. Sometimes the very same people end
needing my help. I am not innocent myself either. I am guilty of having done it
before.
Give everyone a chance because
you never know when/if you will need the person tomorrow. That person you are
being rude to because they aren't your type or in your class, might hold the
answer to your success one day. That same person might help you in life
threatening circumstances. Remember to be kind to everyone, so they remember
your kindness next time you need their assistance. And never say never.
WITH LOVE...
