Suffocate your challenges.

JUST GO HIGHER

The only bird that dares to peck an eagle, they say, is the crow. It sits on its back and bites the eagle’s neck. However, the eagle does not respond nor fight with the crow, it spends no time on the crow instead the eagle opens its wing and soar higher to the heavens. The higher the flight the tougher it is for the crow to breathe then the crow falls down from the lack of energy and oxygen. You can choose to suffocate your problems, challenges, and criticism by going higher.

You will always be faced with different levels of challenges as you go along the journey of life, irrelevant and baseless issues will fight for your time and attention as well as very critical and important ones; criticisms of all kind (positive and negative) will also be a part of the things you will have to deal with, but you must learn how to best react and deal with all of these. You do not sit down to sulk, and whine in the face of all these issues and challenges, you do not give in and resign to fate, you simply rise, and go higher.

You just keep developing yourself; you keep working harder on yourself, your skills, and your talents; you keep growing and going higher, and you will automatically lose all of those challenges. As you go higher, you become stronger, you get the strength to keep going higher, and all the criticisms, difficulties, and challenges will begin to fall off your back, they begin to suffocate, lose strength, lose basis, and lose their hold of you, they start becoming irrelevant to you, and all of a sudden, just like the crow falls off the back of the eagle, you would no longer find any of those things bothering you.

Don't waste your time fighting irrelevant battles, do not be dragged into any time wasting, and energy sapping endeavour that will just waste your time, energy, and resources, but would yield you nothing. You are better than all that, just keep going higher. It may not always be easy, but keep going higher; people may see you as weak, but keep going higher. Be like the eagle, just keep going higher, keep becoming more of what and who you are meant to be, the higher you go the better you become, and you will get to the point where non of those things will be able to touch you again, the higher, the better.
