Four Letter Word

FEAR is a 4 letter word.

You can either run from it or you can face it & rise above it!

I choose the latter.


FOMO is a 4 letter word.

You can either continue to miss out or you can take action to experience it. I choose the latter.


FUCK is a 4 letter word.

You can either get fuck or you can fuck the world. I choose the latter.


Life is full of 4 letter words that mean different things to different people at different times and situations. One thing is for sure. The decision is always yours to make. The mistake is always vours to make & the success is also always yours to gain. I will not be in the happy place I am in today if I had listen to all the 4 letters words by others.

FACT! Another 4 letter word.

God created this world and provided everyone a choice. We can choose to be filled with fear or have faith. Believe in yourself and always break through the challenges that come to you. Challenges help us to grow. Go big and go bigger!

Agreed Mr Ernie. Life is indeed full of 4-letter words that can have different meanings depending on the context. It's up to us to decide how we want to interpret these words and how we want to let them affect our lives. This a great reminder that we are in control of our own lives. We can choose to let the 4-letter words hold us back or we can choose to rise above them.

I would also like to add that it's important to be mindful of the power of our words. The words we use can have a big impact on our own thoughts and feelings, as well as the thoughts and feelings of others. So, it's important to choose our words wisely and to be aware of the impact they can have.

Thank you Mr. Ernie for sharing your perspective on these 4-letter words. It's true that life presents us with different choices, and it's up to us to decide how to respond to challenges and opportunities. Taking ownership of our decisions can lead to personal growth and success. Keep focusing on what makes us happy and stay true to ourself.

Everything in life is perspective. If we do not choose what to do ourselves, others will choose for us. Act or accept. Amazing sharing!

No matter what people says, the decision is in our own hands. Not by other people, because in the end we are responsible on how our life would turn out. Never give up if the decision took a wrong turn, stand up and fight, and make everything right after that.

Superb sharing.. "Life is full of four-letter words" 🙂. Each of us has different perspectives or assumptions in it. Personally, I believe in life, all of us wanting to raise our standards. As such, we need to disregard the influence of those very four-letter words and strive for growth 😁 - Naveenea

Somewhere, somehow and somewhat, these four letter words will be used in some stage of our lives. Depends on perspective in life, these four letter words can bring in new purpose, new drive and new meaning to life itself.

Absolutely! Many of life’s greatest achievements require going outside of our comfort zone. Not only it helps us grow, it also makes us more resilient and confident. So, let's be open to new adventures and embrace opportunities that come our way!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that life is full of ups and downs, and we often come across words that can either bring us down or push us to rise above. Fear is just an opportunity for growth, FOMO can be turned into action, and setbacks are simply stepping stones to success. Embrace the challenges, make our own decisions, and believe in ourself. We have the power to create our own happiness and define our own path. Keep pushing forward, and don't let any four-letter word hold you back.

Every word has two faces, and it's all about how we perceive and respond to it. The same words hold different meanings for different people; it's a matter of whether we embrace challenges or stay within our comfort zones. Every decision is made by us. No one can control what you think and do. You are the final decision maker – take it or leave it.

It's very true that who you become is influenced by the people you surround yourself with.However, we must remember that we have the power to shape our own identity. We can listen to everyone and get their advice, but the decision maker is still ourselves. Make your own decisions.

These four words are indeed amazing 4-letter words! Thank you for the reminder.

LOVE is also another 4-letter word. You can either work at what you love or love what you do. I choose both because when you work on what you love, you naturally love what you're doing.

FEAR can sometimes paralyze us from taking bold steps or pursuing ambitious dreams.

The only way is keep reminding ourselves to approach obstacles as opportunities for growth and learning. The world is big, know what we want, and work towards it. FACT of LIFE!

Regardless of external influences or opinions (the four-letter words from others), the ultimate responsibility for one's choices and actions lies with oneself. Life is subjective, and the power of individual decision-making is essential in not letting negative influences or judgments from others dictate one's path to success and happiness- Sofea Taib

Agreed!!

LIFE is full of 4 letter words.

LOVE is the most powerful four letter word which I LOVE

But as for me you will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

It carries various version to 'REACT' with any of the four or other words. Some might take it as negative perspective, however it actually can become a positive ways for some. Nevertheless, everybody have thier own timeline, background, experience, as it depends on the situation itself. hashtag#Keep moving forward hashtag#keeplearningkeepgrowing hashtag#keepinspiringothers

Thank you, Mr. Ernie, for mentoring us all this time and helping me become who I am today.

All the four-letter words may be simple, but they hold deep meaning for me. I have experienced both the joys and challenges of these words.

There are many stories behind these words, but I want to express how you have witnessed my growth over the past 10 years and still counting. As I step into a new phase of my life, no matter in career or in life. Your guidance has been invaluable in preventing me from getting hurt badly and providing wise words to let me have more "content"🤣 and to make better decisions.

I may not have a four-letter word to offer in return, but I want to show my appreciation for everything you've done for me by providing your most favorable word "RESULTS".

Together, we will achieve our goals, and RESULTS will be the key to everything!

Thank you.

This is about our own life and how we take charge of what we want. These four letters also represent a learning process for us to become better, and it's our decision to make if we choose to accept and change. Life is never easy, but everything has a solution to overcome.
