Our Lives

Are Our Own

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 9 months ago 1 min read
It's our 'exam'

“Life

is the most difficult exam.

Many people fail

because they try to copy others,

not realizing

that everyone has a different question paper”

Everyone of us is Special,

Unique and therefore

Different.

Our Lives are ‘Distinctive’ to us alone.

This is why

we should set our own Standards

and never copy others.

Our challenges and Opportunities

are for us alone.

We are “Individuals”

and

our Lives ‘Belong’ to us.

So let’s Prove

that we have Control

over our own Lives

by ‘passing that exam’ of Life.

Success comes from

Focusing on our Strengths,

our Abilities

and

our Trust in Ourselves.

Whilst in the academic world,

we all sit the same papers.

In the ‘exam of Life’,

we all ‘sit’ a different exam,

a paper which is as Unique

as we are as individuals.

When we stay True to Ourselves

and face this ‘question paper’ head-on,

we “pass” the ‘exam of Life’.

A Positive Mind will do this.

This Life is our own

and

so is this Journey.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
