Watch others, watch yourself.

Watch others, watch yourself.

I've come to understand that for who so ever shows love to others must first generate love within himself, for it is impossible to express love to other people where as you neglect your own mind.

So, don't let your food get cold and stall, watching someone else’s plate. It took me a while to deeply understand this, this wasn't a perspective of been selfish or stingy, it's a different thing entirely. There's no way love and trust can be faked, it's either true or not true. Same way I can't profess genuine love with loving myself.

I grew up hearing this phrase from my parent's mouth, at first I thought they we're indirectly telling me to be strict or stingy but nooo it was a different case, they we're telling me before true or care can be expressed the giver must be satisfactorily checked.

I'm not greedy! Never will I, but who likes cold food? I believe you don't like cold food also, so making sure you give advice when you are more advisable, you talk about love when you are more lovable, it's as simple as that.

Not until one faithful day, after school session which we ended with an agricultural practical class, our agricultural teacher gave us an assignment to plant some fruits and vegetables, nurture it and bring back the end result for marking grades. My mom gave me two pumpkin seeds and a set of pear and mango fruit seeds. I cleared some portion of land at the backyard of the house and planted it.

I had a friend who was also my classmate living close to my vicinity I do go to his home on regular basis, so I went one evening to see the growth of his vegetables and fruit out of curiosity I guessed. To see how his own has yielded. I was so caring about others I had forgotten some vital percussion to take as my plants we're still young and growing. Like the regular watering, the applying of preventive chemicals for a healthy growth, I was curious of my classmate own.

He planted his own on their garden also, but I was surprised and it left me stunning on what I saw, his plants was flourishing, very vibrant, and it was healthy and well greenish, while mine seemed lacklustre in comparison or will I say insect infested. The rate of which caterpillar and other insect were eating up the leaf, couple with the fact I thought I was doing great by watering my watering, once in two days not knowing I wasn't.
Envy crept in making me doubt tje worth of my efforts, I also was gazing at her nourished vegetable plant wishing mine was that greenish In color. I was wondering what might she be applying to her plants that I haven't done too.

I learnt a big lesson that very day, I have never been so jealous like that, though I was little so you would understand what it felt like, I was hoping to go help her out or teach her how I watered mine not knowing I was going to meet a surprised.

Make sure you're at least worthy, capable, advanced or satisfactory before wanting to impress someone else's situation.
I didn't say we shouldn't give helping hands or advises but make sure you're ready and capable.

When I got back I FOCUSED on my plant and requested every plant fertilizers I need either natural ones or chemicals. I apply water twice a day morning and evening.

Nourish yourself while nourishing others. Thanks for stopping by.
