Life is full of challenges, wherever you are, whatever your status in life and regardless of what you do. Problems will come, unfavorable situations will show, heartaches, toothaches, backaches, headaches, stomachaches, etc. are part of the package given to us in this life. Trials, testings, hardships, setbacks, failures, brokenness, hurts, pains, betrayals and the like, are all spices and ingredients to make our lives more tastier. They can either make us better or bitter persons. They can be a blessing or a curse to us, depending on how we see them and how we respond to them.
What will you do if you face something in life which you think would push you to your limits? How will you react when things turns out differently than what you are expecting? Get angry, get even? Be sad, bad or mad to everyone and to the world around you and even to God? Some say life is unfair, and sure it is. There are circumstances that are beyond our control. We are with people whom we don’t want to be with but we don’t have a choice. I’ve read someone who called it “stuckatitis,” which means you are stuck with them and can’t get out. We can be working too hard on something but sad to say not enjoying it.
What can you do if your life right now is something like this? Will you give up? How will you respond? Either you will fight or flee? Will you hope for something better or not?
Just want to inspire you my dear reader. Life may just as gloomy and stormy as it may be but, there’s always hope for the hopeful. A solution to every problem. A way out in a maze of circumstances. A light at the end of every tunnel. A shining sun behind dark and stormy clouds.
Just learn to shake it off, look up, and see the good in every situation. Knowing that in all things there is always a purpose. Everything that happened to us is just like a tiny part of a huge puzzle. If you can see the big picture of your life, you can connect each piece and you will find out that they all fit together as a whole.
So next time you encounter something in life which you don’t like, just remember these sayings, “Some days are like that,” and “This too shall pass.” Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Keep on keeping on. Life must go on. Just hold on and pray. Call on Someone greater than you are who can turn your situation right-side-up. Until my next blog. By the way, I just want to inspire you!
