At some point, every rationale person that wants to do something with their life thinks of this question in a moment when they don't know what else to do.
And guess what?
That's perfectly fine.
To question
yourself in a moment when you're probably the most vulnerable you'll ever be as
a single person just means you're alive and very well. I've come to realize that
every single person will go through these emotions when they really want
something in life. Taking the time to think about what's going on, or lack
thereof, in your life is quite fine. It's how you respond to those moments. Will
you sit there and be sad? Will you realize that it's just a moment and you have
to keep pushing? Or will you need the support of people to help you realize that
you can actually do the task that's set in front of you. Any number of those
things can happen to you, depending on YOUR situation as a person. But as I said
before, it's not how you got there or what got you there,
It's how you respond.
That scene
from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a pretty emotional one, and everyone
remembers that iconic line. But what most people don't pay attention to is how
he's sitting there in a work uniform, covered in paint, surrounded by an
unfinished project. In essences, he's reflecting in a room that symbolizes his
life, a complete and utter mess. But what came in the nick of time was the
support that he needed. Uncle Phil put it in simplest terms:
"Of all of the kids, you give me the
most grief. You're also the one that I don't worry about".
That one line
is all it took for will to become happy and cheerful again. Basically what I'm
alluding to here is when in doubt, and you're feeling like you can't get
anything right, lean on someone or people that have your back. That's what
they're there for. That's what any normal human being needs, someone to reaffirm
that they believe in them and to suck it up and push on. No one has all of the
right answers coming out of the gate of life, and sometimes you slip and
stumble. Regardless of who you are, or what situation you are in, there is
always a logical, sound minded person there for you. Whether they are your
relatives, friends, social workers, priests, preachers, or just a random
stranger, you never know who will give you that great piece of advice to make
you get up out of your sorrows.
At the end of
the day, we are human, being down and out is one of the things we all will
experience, it's inevitable. The thing question to take away from here is, how
are you going to handle that moment when it comes? Are you going to let it keep
you down or are you going to rise to the occasion. And if you're trying to rise
to the occasion, then just look around you, there is someone there to help you
off the ground if you are out there trying to do right and treat people right on
the path of life.
The help is there, all you have to do
is look up for it.
