QC Community Contest #140 - I Thought It was Trying To Drown Me But It Was Actually Teaching Me How To Swim.

Hello everyone, trust you're doing great. Welcome to another weekly Contest and welcome to my blog. It's indeed a great deal of privilege to be alive and in super health.

Sometimes one would be faced with life's challenges that one may be tempted to ask if one truly came to this world just like everyone else. But if one maintains a positive spirit and hold on to faith one would scale through.

How easy is it for you to accept your present moment?

To be honest, it wasn't an easy task especially with the fact that I hardly share my burden. I'd close my eyes and try to sleep but sleep would be very far from me. I would wish it wasn't happening but then in reality it was.

*Was there a time in your life when you found it difficult to accept the present moment you were living in?"

Of course, there was.

Growing up I had a beautiful picture of the life I would lead. As time went by things began to fall into shape but like a hazy weather which its outcome is unpredictable, a once beautiful sunny morning began to get cloudy all of a sudden. Watching things unfold without any clue of how to navigate my way to safe heavens, I began to doubt my very exixtence with so many questions poping into my head randomly without any answers to. Nothing seems to matter anymore to me, it was like a fairy tail. I could not believe I was the one in the picture, it was quite unbelievable to me. But then, it was a lesson to build me to a greater heights.

What things have helped you feel good about your present moment, even when you're going through a difficult time?

My husband has always been my inspiration. I draw strength from him, his positive mindset towards things no matter how hard they seem is something I need to learn. He always maintains a positive attitude irrespective of how hard the situation may seem, he keeps assuring me that it's but for a moment and for a reason.

My mum has a way of making difficult times seem like a cruise. She'll always say “if God has seen someone through it, yours is not an exception”. Infact, my family generally is my motivation and encouragement and I'm always grateful for that.

I also try to talk to myself through singing and listening to inspirational music. It lifts my spirit in ways past finding out.

Above all, God has been my greatest source of strength, faith and inspiration through His unfailing promises. When I remember his assurance of always being there for me even when all hope is lost I quit the thought of giving up.

Conclusion

Life is a rollercoaster of good and bad times. There's never always an all good times or an all bad times. Things happen but whatever times it is we should always know that it is temporal and maintain a positive spirit to scale through the difficult moments. Like the popular saying- “tough times never last but tough people do”.

Thanks abundantly for stopping by, I sincerely appreciate it. Stay positive, awesome alive and thriving.🙏🙌🤗💚✨💪
