Sell Fish
It’s worth every penny to not be penniless.
Do whatever it takes, take whatever you can get.
Selling fish was his best bet.
Among the market, he charmed with his banter.
People flooded in with a canter.
He won’t do this, he won’t do that.
But, he will carry the fish until it breaks his back.
He juggled the fish in the air with a fake smile and cold scaly hands.
He gets mad when anyone ruins his plans.
It wasn’t just the money he craved, but the attention he was paid.
He would never stop selling fish because he doesn’t know how to be self-less.
The vendor across the street began to steal his thunder.
No longer did his fans reel in for hunger.
Now he’s broke and hooked into a blunder.
His head slumped down returning to his forgotten life with his tail tucked under.

Everyone is guilty of it, sometimes more than others. It's so easy to be selfish, that's why it's so bad. It's easier to do what you want than it is to do what someone else asks of you. But, the more and more you do what you want, the more and more others get disappointed in you. In response, you'll get this unsettling feeling. The more happy you try to make yourself with doing what you want, the more unhappy you will feel, which you may not even realize. As others notice this inevitable action in you, they will then expect it and in return you will continue to live up to their expectations. And of course the opposite is true, that if you only do what others want, then they will walk all over you. One of the hardest things in life to juggle is balance. And just like a person with an addiction (you do have have an addiction to pleasing yourself only or being a people pleaser) you first must realize you have a problem, then take baby steps to correcting it when you see you are falling back on bad habits. Think of yourself as a service to the wants and needs of others and your own and maybe that will help you tip the scale.
1. Giving up means you’ll never get where your going.
2. Sometimes we build walls to see if anyone cares enough to break them.
3. You are the way you are because that’s the way you grew up.
4. One of the hardest parts about chasing your dreams is finding the courage
to do it.
5. Fame dies with out of sight out of mind, money dies when you are buried, but
love is never ending.
6. Everybody is searching for who they are and what they believe in.
7. If God has given you a gift, you cannot claim it as your own because it was
a gift from HIM.
8. Relationships are like prison you’re locked up and marriage is throwing away
the key, so you’d better find someone that you can stand for a life
sentence.
9. Be who you are, but always strive to be the better version of yourself.
10. The hardest thing in life to juggle is balance.
11. You can’t ever win if you keep finding ways to fail.
12. Peace comes from realizing that we’re not so different after all.
