I went to my closet and figured if I was going to wear something I'm unsure of black was worth the risk. I took a black polo and black trouser, black shoe too and corked the bottle with my black face cap. I went in front of the mirror and I looked good; at least normal and casual. I would look excellent were I going to school or something similar, but I was going to a traditional wedding. I felt off but I didn't have a handful of options, as I left I met my sister sitting outside, with the way she looked at me I knew nothing good was leaving her mouth.
"Be looking like the couples bodyguard o." She teased.
"Tuck the shirt in." She added
And I did so, and felt better because she felt better. I walked to the gate and met my brother standing there and he gave a look similar to my sister's, I ran so I wouldn't get to hear what he had to say, unhindered he screamed to a fleeing me
"You look like a village headmaster!" And I stopped at the spot, the devil had finally succeeded
. I slowly returned to the house and went back to the mirror, I looked straight into it and the guy it reflected, I saw a guy that would slay on a normal day but didn't have any serious attire for today, but still wore something okay, something not bad and a reasonable person would figure he had nothing occasional to wear which is not a bad thing, resolved and sorted I resumed my 'in-and-out' traditional marriage quest with the idea the mirror left me which wasn't that of a headmaster or a bodyguard but a guy that would slay better on a normal day. I felt confident as always - different mindset - different physical outcome (don't ever underestimate the need to have a positive mindset).
My point is: we struggle with a lot of things daily and have to go through certain rigors to sort ourselves or certain embarrassing deeds, maybe shameful and it's worst when you think of what your peers might say, or the demeaning thoughts etc. One thing you need at the tip of your fingers is - people always have something to say, even the wealthiest people get silly words thrown at them talk more of 'upcoming'you; think less of them and face the mirror; see a guy/girl that's doing a necessary deed to attain impeccable results in the nearest future, there is no need to be intimidated by the success of others- peeps graduate with first class and stay jobless for 6years, some with pass and get a mind blowing job immediately after graduation, some stay in work stagnant for 8years others work for one year and get promoted.
Everyone's race is completely different, no need to get envious or wishful, make your own path, and embrace the Mirror and trust God. Think positive and of course none of this would make any sense with a messed up 'Mindset' fix that too!
