Do You Have it Figured Out?

The past few days have made me to question my views, beliefs and even existence in life. Things happen, that make you ask the big question if you have it all figured out. It could be the death of a loved one, losing at an election, failing an exam, a relationship breakup, a business deal gone wrong, lack of self-control etc.

No human is free from any form of issues or problems, we all just know how to mask it better or deal with it (if at all). They say a success story is not yet complete if there are no challenges embedded in the story. A 100% jolly ride cannot make for an exceptional success story. Hence it is obvious that getting successful is filled with a lot of challenges and hurdles. Oh yea, we hear this all the time, but this just a subtle reminder to remind you to brace up and prepare for what is coming up ahead. I love the bible for a reason because it actually is a very complete book. The book of 1st Corinthians 10:1 says “there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” This makes it evidently clear then that irrespective of what the challenge looks like, you are well equipped to face and overcome it.

One thing important to note though is, that in course of trying to deal with the challenge, don’t deny the absence of the hurt or pain it makes you feel. It is very important to acknowledge the hurt and pain then channel it as a driving force to enable you overcome the situation. Grieving, mourning, drinking, sulking, crying, screaming and solitude are all allowed when a challenge initially gets to you (don’t let nobody tell you otherwise). What matters though is getting back on your feet and dealing with whatever happened head on.

NO ONE HAS IT FIGURED OUT because “the battle is not for the swift or the mighty, but time and chance happens to us all”. Don’t get yourself worked out over what happens to you because it is not your fault, neither is it because you are a terrible person but  bad things happen to everyone!!!

Stay strong and hang in there!!!
