Life
is hard!!! Three words but put together the weight of the sentence is
overwhelming sometimes unbearable but until you draw your last breath you need
to keep on keeping on.
I
know… it’s very cliché and also annoying to read/hear when you’re going through
a tumultuous period in life but it’s the truth. A truth that stings and kicks
ass, a truth that you learn time and time again, a truth that makes you want to
scream or simply shut-down.
So
why am I saying this if I already know how maddening it is? Well, it’s because
of how horrid last week was. Last week was just about one of the worst weeks
I’ve had in a very long time, the timing couldn’t have been worse because I was
still on a high from the new year, new things, new hope shpill. I was getting
really bad news from work, school and in my personal life. I’m talking about
things that make you stop suddenly when you’re going full speed ahead to ‘success-vile’.
I
was going through the motions: I was angry, mad, defeated, hurt and even ready
to throw the towel in until it hit me….on Thursday I suddenly realised wow I
woke up today. God saw it fit to give me life; He’s not done with me. And you
know what, I wasn’t done with me either because I love my life, I love the
things I have to look forward to it’s just those crazy situations that really
got me down. Truthfully they are still getting me down but the thing is finding
solutions to these adversities through prayer, devotion and practical means is
the only way to keep on keeping on. On Thursday I realized that mopping around,
eating crappy ‘comfort’ food, morphing into the couch, watching everything on
tv/youtube, not working out (you get the picture) will not change the status of
the bad news about my work, school or personal life. All those things won’t
change the bad situations in fact I have to admit that breaking the healthy
routines I had worked so hard to achieve made me feel out of balance, unfocused
and utterly hopeless.
So
this week I have purposed to keep on keeping on!!! I will not stop. I forgot
last week but I’m picking back up this week.
Until
next time ^.^
