Rise Above It

Keep no expectations from others, be like a tree that even supports the branches that do not bear any fruit. Rise above the worldly expectations. Those who envy and criticise, maybe they are unsuccessful, with unpleasant past and that reflects in their thoughts. Rise above annoyance, just ignore them. World is not only made of saints, some may pronounce you are inferior to them don't let them persuade you. Rise above their influence, stay positive. When things go wrong, don't blame others, take some time to ponder to know what differently things could have been done. Rise above, learn from your mistakes. Your fears are your biggest enemies, fear of failure keeps you away from success don't let fears conquer your heart. Rise above, and overcome your freaky fears. Keep no grudges as life is too short, forgiveness brings peace of mind or forget the mistake and move forward. Rise above those growing grudges. June 12, 2016.
