EVEN ROCKS CRACK- Deborah Erakpor

Hey guys! I told you about Debby and her little experience? So she is just about to share it with you. Lol, Pay rapid attention guys.

Yes! Even rocks are capable of having cracks!

Looking at my life, I can say this phrase was born out of an experience which I had recently. So, sometime this week, I had an interview and I was to meet the CEO of the firm because I had passed the first two stages of the interview. On meeting her, we sat down and the session began.

She asked a couple of memorable questions and in the midst of all those questions gave rise to very insensitive remarks as well as insults. It was like from 0 to 100 in a jiffy!  Ouch! as I sat there in awe and absolutely bewildered by what had just happened.

Did I forget to mention? She had the nastiest attitude and aura I’d ever seen in my entire life. But despite how tough I am naturally, I left back to my office demoralized, so down in my spirit and I didn’t think I’d have been able to recover for at least another 24 hours. It sank in pretty deep but as a strong believer of resisting negative vibes I picked myself up very quickly.

Now, I want you to understand that even rocks are capable of having cracks. This very experience made me realize that no matter how tough you are, there are possibilities’ of getting hurt by people and that is okay. Because many of them are people who know nothing about your journey or what you have been through, even the ones that do know a bit would do same and it would sting like a bee.

It is not what you deserve but the reality of life.

 No one is above getting hurt or being put down. Nevertheless, being hurt doesn’t mean staying hurt. The fact that there are cracks on a rock doesn’t stop the rock from being a rock. It still maintains its position and stands firm in the ground. True strength does not come from avoiding the hurts, the bad words, the nasty attitude, the rude boss, the cheating boyfriend or the fake friend as the case may be. True strength comes from how you are able to rise above all these and still be you-  Beautiful, Bold and Confident.

What was meant to hurt me, couldn’t hurt me it helped me and what was meant to kill me couldn’t kill me, it cured me.

What was meant to break me couldn’t break me, it built me and what was meant to imprison me couldn’t imprison me, it prepared me.

I won’t stay down and be hurt; I won’t let the negative vibes in because I won’t give another person the key to the drivers’ right to my emotions. If you give them the power to control you they certainly will.

And no one but you alone should have such power to manipulate your emotions.

So let them do their “best” (worst), let them say what they want, you just build a wall and when you get a crack and water comes in? boldy sh shake it off and stand firm, keep your head up, bask in positive vibes and keep it moving because even rocks are capable of having cracks but it doesn’t change it from being a rock and standing firm.

YOU’RE A ROCK!  

Sometimes, we just have to let go off something's that are designed to hurt us and burn our ego. Because when we don't let go? We stay in that moment for years without realizing it. One advice is, Believe in who you are and not anyone's opinion. When you are asked "tell me about yourself" what would you say? Well, I'd say, I am an amazing sexy ass girl! A lover to the core!

What would you say?
