Never forget three people in life,the One who kicked you down ,the one who laughed at you when you where down and one who picked you up these three will teach you an important leason of life.
Life its so unpredictable and full of changes,it can be fun sometimes with a lot of dreams and goals to be achieved ,not forgetting coming across obstacles.Fetus grow to being Grandparents,a begger wins lottery and becomes a millionaire overnight whilst a millionare is divorced and gets stripped off everything.....
With life being the most painful ish in life what makes us carry on ... Apart from those who already commited suicide because obviously they escaped this rolacoster called life.What is it that makes stand bare footed on these thorns of life ? Is it hope or maybe we just keep on going thinking maybe will see a light at end of the tunnel ?
Now lets go back.....
1 Remember the first person who kicked you down !!! It can be friend or family betrayal ,failing an exam ,sickness,loss of a loved one or even being divorced because they only married you for your money ,anything bad you can name them, all these cause you to be mad ,dissapointed ,confused, lonely ,frustrated or even lead you to being depressed.
2 Then comes the fool who'll laugh at you ... After all you've been through people will either judge,laugh or gossip which might lead to low self esteem or even worse suicide ...if maybe its due to a certain sickness you might even loose your job. Some might pretend they care and give you wrong advices instead of guiding you they'll offer you drugs or say buddy you need a stiff drink which can turn you into an alcoholic adding more problems in your life.
3 A hero will then come ..this can be your parents or sisters,a stranger ,your close friend the bible ,meditation,nature, your child whom you've miscarried or your father whom has passed on speaking in your dreams ...they say "hey snap out of it you are missing out on other greater things while you still sobbing around for what happened 5minutes ago the birds are singing outside with fresh breeze waiting for you ,and oh go get yourself a nice ice cream with a cherry on top "
This is to say don't beat yourself up for what happened in the past...its in the past so let it go focus on today or prepare yourself for tomorrow its up to you ....you've learnt a leason about yesterday now move on from it theres still plenty of the sweeter side of life for you.
GET UP AND RUN....
Thank you for reading my mind
