We Are All Wounded

We all are wounded,
somewhere deep inside where no light reaches.
We walk through life with invisible scars,
hearts stitched together by trembling hands,
hoping no one looks too closely.
The world teaches us to hide it,
to smile when it hurts,
to cover our cracks and pretend we are whole.

But we all are broken,
each of us carrying stories
we're too afraid to tell.
The mother who cries in secret after her children sleep.
The man who laughs the loudest but feels the emptiest inside.
The friend who always says, "I'm fine,"
because she knows no one truly asks twice.

We bleed differently.
Some wounds are fresh, still raw to the touch.
Others have scabbed over,
but the pain lingers when we press too hard.
And some are buried so deep,
we’ve convinced ourselves they don’t exist—
until something tears them open again.

Maybe it was betrayal that broke you.
Maybe it was the love you gave
that was never returned.
Maybe it was the dream you chased
that left you empty-handed.
Or the loved one you lost too soon.
Maybe it was the words you heard growing up,
or the silence that followed
when you needed words the most.

But your wounds don’t make you weak.
They make you human.
They are the evidence of a life lived,
of battles fought,
of a heart brave enough to feel.

And while we’re all wounded,
we’re also all healers.
We carry salve in our words,
in the way we listen without judgment,
in the way we show up for each other.
We patch each other up,
sometimes without even knowing.
A kind word, a gentle touch, a reminder that,
"You’re not alone"—
that’s how we start to mend.

So don’t hide your wounds.
Don’t pretend they don’t exist.
Let them breathe.
Let them teach you empathy,
let them remind you that everyone you meet
is fighting a battle you can’t see.

We are all wounded,
but we are also resilient.
We may limp, but we keep moving.
Keep pressing.

Stop making yourself poor, stop saying you don't have, that you don't get enough, that you earn little.
Because if you live declaring poverty, poverty is what you're going to get.
Also, break that bad habit of playing the victim.
You're never gonna get better like this.
The first thing you need to change is your SELF-CONCEPT.
You are not poor, you are just broke.
The money will come, you will get it.
But first you must get a new state of mind.
Remember that your Financial status is only a reflection of your mental state.. so if in your mind you see money, you see wealth, you see opportunities, you see progress, soon, that will be reflected in your pockets.
The second thing to improve, is your evaluation.
Don't settle for small things, go for big.
Learn to manage when you have, do not spend for spending define your priorities well
The third thing to improve is your language.
Change your words.
There are people who talk all day about illnesses or that they don't get enough.
You ask them how you’re doing, and they answer almost reluctantly: “Here, sort of.” "Having a good time" "here with nothing, on the edge of indigence." Others say: "you don't earn, but you enjoy." "
If you realize, those are expressions that become seeds of more need..
Change your words, move to the wealth lane.
When they ask you how you are, reply with attitude: "One million. "Advancing the whole machine"". Nice. " " Positive. "Your words create a new vibration.💯

During World War II (1945), a Japanese boy stood in front of a funeral pyre and waited his turn to cremate his little dead brother.

The person who took the photograph said, in an interview, that the boy was biting his lips so hard to keep from crying that blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

It was then that the guard asked him for the body and said, "Give me the load you are carrying on your back." And the boy answered: "He aint heavy, he is my brother".

He handed over the body, turned around and left.... In Japan, even today, this image is used as a symbol of strength.

Its a good thought to collect personal strength each day..
Pray for your strength, keep focus, stay challenged and of positive attitude..

Its certain that it will all be ok.

My name is KOFI AMOAH, I own a company, none of my staff knew me as the owner except the Manager and the Secretary. (I had told them not to disclose my identity).

I don't usually go for a visit.

One day, I visited the company and I saw my Ex wife, who had thrown me out of my own house. I asked the Manager and he said she is one of their staff.

I instructed the Manager to promote her to Personnel Officer, gave her a car, a bungalow, garden boy, security and other emoluments. An undeserved position though, of which he did.

A month later, I went there as a job seeker. As soon as she saw me with my application and CV, she rejected me outright, threw my application at my face, and immediately retrieved it from the floor and tore it to pieces and threw it into the waste bin. After regaling me with all my past, she informed me I would never get employment nor an opportunity at the company. Also, she swore on heaven and the earth that all this would happen. She boldly declared that the only way I’d get employment at the company was over her cold dead body.

I came the following day with another application and went on my knees to beg her, but she refused and spat into the waste bin and said even if I was the only bridge to cross to come to work, she would opt for a boat and called the security men to throw me out, so I left.

On Monday, I went to the company in my real identity and entered her office with the Manager who introduced me to her, she quickly knelt down crying and begging me, "the proposed rejected bridge.” She informed me that her entire family depended on her for survival. If her employment was terminated, she added, life would be absolutely horrendous not only for her but also her entire family. She even promised to remarry me.

We both stood there motionless and speechless which left the Manager befuddled.

Many things started racing in my head. Should I call for the police? Should I strip her of her current position to her former position? Should I ca

" MASTER PLAN "
MOVIE LESSONS :

We watched MASTER PLAN movie yesterday. It had such a valid point and I like it as well...

1. We are only teaching our kids to win

2. No one is telling them that it is ok to lose

3. Our rewards to them are performance based. Do well and you get xyz

4. Out if the 10,00,000 appearing for IIT JEE, only 10000 will get in. No one is telling the 9,90,000 that there is always a plan B

5. No one is teaching the kids that LOSER isn't one who loses, loser is the one who does not try enough

In the movie the kid thinks that it is the end of the world when he doesn't get into IIT. He is already stressed out and the fear that he is failing his father troubles him even more...

It was heartbreaking to watch that. It was also so true and close home!

We as parents want the very best for our children. We want them to succeed and do well. We are all constantly teaching them to WIN...no one is teaching them that it is ok to lose.

What is not ok is that you didn't try enough. It is ok to fall and fail. It is even better to then get up, dust the knees, wipe the tears and then try again.

Let them even learn to digest the defeat.

Do not only give them only luxuries & fulfill all their demands, but give them care, support and quality time.

Please don't label your child
Looser or winner, smart or dumb, shy or naughty.
Everyone is unique.

I felt like sharing it here as all our kids and we are in the same phase of life

Wishing you more

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY.

🎯👆Did you know that the valuable and desirable asset you can have is the ability of you to persist longer than anyone else in the pursuit and achievement of goals.

Discipline and commitment are necessities for outstanding achievements. There are no shortcuts to good success.

You have to follow and abide with the rules! Nothing quite distinguishes in the pursuit of life purpose than being disciplined and having self control!

All success is built on discipline. Be disciplined in the management of your time, energy and resources in achieving your life purpose.

It is the bridge meant to be crossed between goals and achievements.

Commitment however is an act. The hand of the committed rules! Be committed to what you believe in.

The fine line between insanity and dedication is called commitment . Be committed to your goals and get ready to celebrate!

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!

Wishing you more!

WHAT TASTE DO YOU LEAVE IN OTHERS' MOUTHS?

💐💐There was an old man who was admitted in a hospital.

A young man was visiting him every day, and sits with him for more than one hour.
He helps him eat his food, and to take his shower.

Then he takes him walking in the garden of the hospital.
After that he brings him back to his room and helps him to lie down.

He goes away after reassuring himself that the old man is doing well.

One day the nurse entered his room, to give him medicine and inspect his condition, and said to him:
"May the Lord be always gracious to your kind and caring son. Every day he visits you and shows great care."

The old man looked at her and closed his eyes and said to her:
"I wish it was one of my children. This is an orphan from the neighborhood where we live. I met him one day in the past, crying at the door of a Church, after his father died. I comforted him and bought for him candy. I neither saw him nor talked to him for a very long time by.

When he grew up and came to discover where my wife and I were living. He was visiting us every day to inspect our conditions. When I later fell sick, he took my old wife to his home. He then comes to the hospital to see my treatment everyday. One day I asked him: "My son why do you have to deal with us and care about us?"

He simply smiled and then said: *"The taste of the candy is still in my mouth."*🙏🏼💐🙏🏼💐

Wishing you more.
