Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses


This statement couldn’t be truer. When we think that we have something to offer the world, sometimes it can fail us. For example, I am a very emotional person who has a lot of passion for people and animals and I always try putting other people ahead of myself. I always try my hardest to do the right thing and I always try give of myself in every way. However, sometimes when we give too much we expect something in return and that does not always happen, which leads to disappointment and we often get hurt by that.

When it comes to me, this is what happens. I always expect expect expect. I have had to try many different approaches to try not lead myself to disappointment. I am not a religious person but the bible says ‘it is better in giving than there is in receiving’ which is so true and I try live by that statement every day of my life. When we as humans (the more fortunate ones) have everything, a roof over our head, water, food, loving parents and money to get us through everyday battles, why should we want anything more? There are people out there who have nothing and wouldn’t it be wonderful to give to them, even if it a loaf of bread or volunteering at an animal shelter, where all these poor animals want is love.

Sometimes we need to take a step back and look at what we have and be grateful for it. If we give something don’t always expect something in return. It will make us happier people and those in need even happier.
