When Life Hits You

Source

Life, life, life! Truly, life is not a bed of roses. Sometimes it pushes you to the left, sometimes to the right. We face ups and downs, and all these make life beautiful. Some people will give up while others will hold on , it is still life. In this life, we face trials in different ways, even the rich do cry.

But I have come to understand one thing in this life , life might not push you in the direction you wish to go, but it might be testing your strength. In such cases, I have personally learnt not to give up so easily. I believe that as long as there is life, there is hope. I know some people chicken out and allow life to decide their fate, but no , even the Bible says that heaven helps those who help themselves. So when nature is trying to help you and it does not seem to be working as expected, buckle up, take a different strategy, and move on. It might be a test. Remember the case of Job in the Bible.

I remember a time when I was faced with a lot of financial issues because I left the job I was doing at that time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I could not easily get another job. Expenses were high, but there was no income. It got to a point that I used up my savings, coupled with the fact that I had school-related responsibilities to manage. It was so draining. I did all I could to survive, but it felt as if my efforts were in vain. I was mentally drained and merely surviving. It seemed as if that was the end of life, but at a point, I decided to rest my mind because I knew I had tried. I relaxed as if nothing was wrong, but I did not give up , I only took a break and allowed God to handle the rest.

Lo and behold, just a few days after I decided to take a break, I was called for different interviews, and I had to choose the one I wanted most. I also received some financial favour. That is life.

Personally, when it gets tougher, I keep trying my best, with the mindset that it can only get better. I have learnt how to turn some stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

We should all know that when life reaches a point that seems as if the world has come to an end, be careful at that stage, because it might be the moment you experience a turnaround. The truth is, when you sail through that stage, you will always have one or two lessons to learn, which will sharpen your mind and further prepare you for the future and the tasks ahead.

Life might not always give you what you want, but always devise a means of sailing through.
