self appreciation

Lets just forget about everything and think we're on "Who wants to be a millionaire".

Now i don't remember this game much, but what i know are basics. You win more money if you answer more questions. But if you want to keep the money you've got, you just grab the money and run... i don't know if i'm right but this is what i think.

Imagine you're the one playing. You've got 50,000 in your bank. Now this is the point where you think through stuff. You're thinking.. "Hey, i could run away with the 50,000, i'll win, but i won't be as rich as 100,000... or even a million...What can i do...". This part drives you INSANE. You can't think right. And then you do it. You risk it. You risk it all for a better outcome.

So this is what i'm going to talk about today. Taking risks for self appreciation. Yeah, a big big big metaphor.

So everyday i see people bringing themselves down. I have a question. Why bring yourself down when you have the choice not to do so? I mean... people bring other people down all the time. Isnt it enough? Or do you REALLY need, besides someone else bringing you down, bring YOURSELF by your choice down too? I don't know if i made any sense...

You gotta love yourself. You're worth it all. You can do ANYTHING if you want to. You're worth millions to someone. You're special to someone. But have you asked yourself... Are you someone's favorite person? Are you?

You've gotta be different. And when it all comes down, all the bad words the people said to you, all the compliments that raised your spirit, everything, will be worth it too.

Be yourself! As cliche as it sounds... it works. Now you're probably asking yourself what the hell does who wants to be a millionaire has to do with this. Okay so lets say you're depressed. You can't find anything that goes right. NOTHING! Well, as i said a million times before, everything just finds it way. But i know words are foolish when you're thinking this. Nothing can't go into your head. You're the 50,000 prize you've already won, but you want more. You want the 100,000. And secretly, you want the million. But you know you arent gonna have it.

Why does it exist if you can't have it? OF COURSE YOU CAN.

Now moving on. Lets just get this clear. Take a breath, and see what you got. You got people around you that love you the way you are. You've got a breathing LUNG for god sakes. You're not dying. You're probably living better than many other people. Think positive. Think right.

You've got some good 50,000 to spend on. Some people don't even have a cent. And im not necesarily talking about money... if you actually understand what i'm saying, kudos to you!

Now if you wanna get better, take a risk. Risks are my favorite. Who knows, maybe you'll end up with 100,000. And it would be enough for you. But you can lose it all. But its all for change, isnt it? You're tired of the same old story, the same old ending, the same DAYS on repeat. Do it, i dare you. Take a risk. If you lose, theres a lesson bigger than you waiting for you. So don't worry.

But let me tell you one VERY important thing. 50,000 is ALOT. What you have is enough. What you have is beautiful. You're gorgeous in your own way. People that don't appreciate it are people that are not worth having a second in your life, so why bother.

You may ask, what am i? I'm a proud 100,000. I've taken risks. Some people notice, some people don't. Some people are astonished that I did some things at such young age. But whatever. And as a great risk taker, i want to be a self appreciation millionaire.

"I can say i hope it will be worth what i give up"

the whole "Who wants to be a millionaire" thing doesnt have to do with the million times i said "million" in this blog
