Perception! How do you see yourself: Someone that might fail or someone that might succeed?

“The only reason why the society will look down on you is because you are looking down on yourself, this is not about being proud, it’s simply self-esteem.” – Victor Otobo. Have you ever wondered why two people will suffer similar challenge, one will come out victorious and the other will be victimised by it? It is simply as a result of their perception on the issue that they were plagued with

You are defeated not because the enemy is stronger, but because of how you see, prepare and present yourself. “…and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” – Number 13:33. It is one thing for people to look down on you, and another thing for you to look down on yourself. The later is disastrous.  If people look down on you, no hard feelings, but if you look down on yourself, you are doomed to fail in life! If you see yourself as nothing but a grasshopper, people will treat you as nothing but a grasshopper. Nobody will treat, honor and respect you better than you treat, honor and respect yourself. If you see yourself as a failure, life and people will treat you as one, but if you see yourself as a success, life and people will open for you all the ‘doors and windows’ you need to become successful. The reason why the enemy keeps defeating you is because you are always defeating yourself, you think, act and live in defeatism, so it becomes easy for the enemy to defeat you. The only reason why the society will look down on you is because you are looking down on yourself, this is not about being proud, it’s simply self-esteem. No man can ride on your back except it is bent!

 If people laugh at you for whom you are today, shame on them, but if they laugh at you for who you end up becoming tomorrow, shame on you!  A confident person is hard to defeat, that is why when someone wants to defeat an opponent he will first want to belittle the person, by intimidating, shouting and slighting the opponent, so that through it he will weaken the opponents confidence, demoralize and by so defeat him.
