I'm really big on
those signs that God sends to you. It's his little way of saying, "it's alright,
I promise it is.". I've really been ignoring those said signs for too long, but
today was the day I went back to listening to them.
Life is meant to
be fluid in my book, like you can't just sit here and think it's going to be one
way, when in reality it can be at least five different ways before noon. The
only thing you can either do is take the signs in stride and make adjustments,
or just look at the signs and say that's not what you're going to do, and hope
more prosperous ones come your way. Now there are dangerous repercussions in the
latter, struggle is almost a certainty. You have the conviction, the
determination, the mindset that you're going to have to dig your feet in and
make it work for you.
Sometimes it
works out for you, and sometimes it doesn't.
What happens when
it doesn't work out for you? What happens when you make the determination to
stay, then it all falls apart? What do you do from that point on? Well the only
thing you can really do is, learn. That's the only thing that's positive in this
outcome, do some self reflection, and learn what went on for you not to be able
to succeed. Was it your fault? Was it extenuation circumstances? Was it simply
not that time? All of those are questions you have to ask yourself, because most
of the time it's not your fault. Most of the time, no matter how patient, how
dedicated, how true you are to something, it just wasn't meant to work out.
And for
some, that is worse than it being your fault.
But once you come
to that conclusion, once you get over the pity party, once you accept that there
was nothing that you can do, you'll be better for it. Once you get that down
pact in your mind, and your heart finally see's the bigger picture, your eyes
will open back up to the world you once shunned. Then and only then will you be
able to have something far better than you ever imagined.
You just
have to get yourself there first.
And by getting
yourself first, you have to accept the signs. I will not lie to you for a
second, most of the time, signs are a bad thing, they come at a bad time, in a
bad way. You're going to be angry, you're going to be pissed actually, but most
importantly, you will be sad. That's OK, it just means that you were really
passionate about whatever it was that you wanted to do, that's what makes us
human, that's what let's us know we're alive. Whether it's tomorrow, next year,
or the next 50 years, you're going to look back at the situation that made you
feel that way and laugh. Not because it was funny, and not because you're trying
to laugh away the pain. But simply because life is better. Those times when you
failed at something you really wanted then, will make you appreciate what you
have now,
And that's
how life works.
You'll have to
walk 12 miles in the rain, before you get 30 feet from your happiness. Honestly,
that's how I would prefer life. I would prefer to be humbled to the point of
being able to genuinely appreciate what I have now. That's just me though.
What do you think
about the signs you receive in life? Are they helpful or do they hurt you in the
long run? Leave a comment below. Until next time guys.
