Life is beautiful when everyday, you wake up with a drive to discover or achieve purpose. You want to give meaning to your life and everyday is one more opportunity to make that happen. One could say this is how it should be, but more often than not, this is not the case.
Growing up for me was filled with fun, exciting experiences, mistakes, lessons to learn (as is the case with many other people). In school then, i could picture myself being a very wealthy woman in future, maybe a lawyer, an actress, a news caster, whatever, but very wealthy. It used to seem it would be very easy and once i was done schooling, the opportunities would troop in, and i would just start making my money and doing whatever i wanted.
As years passed, i noticed something. The enthusiasm was the same, the big picture was the same, but the difference was, i no longer envisioned it would be so easy. As life experiences hit, i started having to learn to be strong and stand up for myself, to let go off things and people i'd rather live with. I had to grow up.
For a moment then, it felt impossible. Like, how could i leave all these behind and assume some strange personality i wasn't sure i could stand myself? But since I've always been the kind of person who loved originality, i believed i'd make the best of whomever i became, and make sure i never let go off my dreams no matter what. So i thought to myself, "everyone wants to leave a mark in this world, I'll cut mine deep!" Then i rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
Did i suffer disappointments?
Did i ever fail and get consumed by my fears?
Was i ever so sad, angry and frustrated i wanted to give up?
YES! YES!! YES!!!
But like i said, it wasn't going to be so easy anymore, so i had to pick myself up and get it together. One thought kept me...
I must reach my TIPPING POINT!
That point when all my dreams come true, and i sit in my garden, just outside my castle, with a fine glass of juice, and define success using me!
Sometime ago, i used to think that everyone who is poor and miserable has his laziness and insensitivity to blame. But i now realize that the most hardworking, sensitive and strategic, are often the most vulnerable to life occurrences. But then, my suggestion is, plan anyway.
One thing i know though, these are also the group of people that shake the foundations of the world, and have you gasping and drooling and wanting to try and try again.
All these is to say, maybe someone needs a change of something as the new week unfolds.. Attitude, strategy, approach... Just something.
Staying positive is a huge step in the right direction. Bad things happen to put you down and make you lose hope, but it is not all the time that they come solely to do bad.
It is said (and it's true) that the darkest hour of the night comes just before dawn. So sometimes, darkness' sole aim is to introduce light.
You have given what seems your best, yet it always looks like you gave nothing, you didn't try hard enough... OK. Let's try this for a change.
Tell your heart it's okay today. Be positive about everything, not so you might just have your peace, but because you believe that something good is about to break forth from that situation. Strengthen yourself to absorb one more.
Exercise a little more faith this time and withstand for
One last disappointment..
One last humiliation..
One last visitation..
One last contract..
One last trip..
One last apology..
One last song..
One last phone call..
One last article..
One last prayer..
And then..
Your TIPPING POINT!
