My Journey Through Life’s Rollercoaster

Indeed Life truly feels like a rollercoaster ride, one moment here you’re rising with joy, and definitely the next, you’re spiraling down into some uncertainty. I’ve really had my very fair share of these moments, and looking back, I obviously see how each season has shaped me into who I am becoming today.

There was this time I felt more like everything had aligned perfectly. My small business was growing so good, customers were streaming in each day, and I could proudly say I was really becoming financially stable. Each day felt like I am a step forward. I can remember just how I stood in front of the mirror one evening, smiling at myself and saying these to myself “You’re doing really well Boy!, You’ve worked really hard for this, and it’s now paying off”. That moment was short of nothing but a pure bliss in my life. I eventually treated myself to a small celebration, because I truly felt on top of my game already.

• But as life would always have it, the tide soon turned. Just a few months later, unexpected challenges hit me all at once. Some of my investments I made crashed, a few debts piled up, and the expenses I wasn’t prepared for came knocking at my door 🚪. It almost felt like my universe conspired against me, the cooking gas finished even when I had little money left, the electricity bills came in, and my landlord wasn’t smiling about the late rent already due. Just like that, I was back to level called square one, wondering where I went wrong.

In those low very moments, regret tried to creep in for me. I found myself saying things like this, “If only I had think 🤔 twice and kept that money instead of investing it” or “I should have been more careful without tge decision.” My mental health was so damn tested. There were days I didn’t want to leave my bed at all and nights I questioned if all my hard work was just in vain. But deep down, I knew giving up wasn’t an option and can never be.

What really helped me was reminding myself that obviously life is not a straight path at all. I leaned on faith, stayed so consistent in the little I could do, and kept on pushing. Slowly, things now began to change again. I somehow starting to get new opportunities, managed to bounce back, and even realized that my earlier setbacks had so much given me wisdom I didn’t have before.

• The greatest lesson I’ve really learned now is that both success and failure are definitely temporary. Life is a cycle, and no condition is permanent in it. When you’re high, please 🙏 do remain humble. When you’re low, also remain hopeful. The Mental resilience is obviously everything in life, it is certainly what keeps us very much afloat when the storms rage.

In conclusion,
Please, to anyone reading this at the moment who eventually feels stuck at the bottom, my dear advice is just simple: please never give up. Have it at the back of your mind that your story isn’t ending here yet. Looking at this scenario where our room doors can close in one moment, they can also open in the next. So please 🙏 do so well to push through, keep faith very much alive, and one day, you’ll look back and be so proud of how you survived your own ups and downs.
