The Pebble Effect.

Hello, warm welcome to my blog. The weekend is here, trust yours is shaping up good.

Life has a way of throwing surprises out our way. Just when you think the water is all calm and clear, life throws in another pebble that scatters it.

Life, like we all know, is full of unexpected twists and turns. The moment you think you're having a smooth ride or that things are falling into place, something new comes along and disrupts everything. That's life's pebbles.

This pebble can represent challenges, surprises, or changes that force us to adjust and navigate new waters, draw up new plans or re-strategize.

Life is full of vicissitudes, and we must learn to adapt - of course, humans are meant to have natural shock absorbers. However, there's an extent to when an individual can endure the shock.

While navigating life's uncertainties might come easily to some, others may not be so fortunate. Adapting to or handling life's unexpected pebbles can be daunting, taking a toll on one's mental health and overall well-being. Many individuals have struggled with depression, mental health issues, and even loss of life, due to their inability to cope with life's challenges. This is a sad reality.

I once read a story about someone's struggles in the States and how he pulled through. During the period his papers were about expiring, he hired an agent to renew them, but along the line, the agent abandoned him and disappeared. Despite numerous attempts to reach him, he was unsuccessful. In the process, he lost his job, became homeless, and struggled to survive.

He reached out to friends and relatives, some of whom he'd helped in his better days. Unfortunately, they turned him down, some didn't even bother to return his calls or messages.

He described feeling miserable, sinking into depression, and constantly had suicidal thoughts.

However, he pointed that despite the dark moments, he remained resilient and hopeful that things would take a new turn.

And so it was that one day, several months after, he encountered a stranger on the streets who listened to his story and offered help. The kind hearted stranger assisted him in processing his papers, marking a turning point in his journey. With renewed hope, he began rebuilding his life.

His story is one out of many stories about individuals who were hit by the storms of life, but they weathered it. It's also a subtle reminder that in life, change is inevitable, and adaptability is key. Whether it's joy or challenge, life's unexpected moments often shape us into who we are today.

Life is a master planner, and fate is the executor.

Peace, Love and Light!
