Fix What Needs Fixing - Life's Charge.

We live in an era where everyone wants something new every time. I am not saying it is a bad thing but it depends on the context. No one wants to have anything fix; they just want to do away with it and I am not talking about situations or things that are beyond fixing.

I understand the place where something is repeatedly giving you issues and you have to do away with it for the sake of your sanity. A lot of things can be fixed if we can only take the needed initiative to sort them out. We all want to do away with things rather than fix them. The joy of the brand new always entices and excites.

You might be facing a hard time in that relationship but rather than trying to go into the new, why not try to fix what is broken? A lot of time our ego is in play and we are not having as many problems as we think. Remove selfishness, greed, disloyalty and your ego, then you will see that your problem is not as bad as you thought.

I read about a couple that married for 60 years and they asked what their secret was. They said they lived in an era where when anything is broken they fix it because they understand the value of that relationship. They have allowed their ego to play a little part and they hold high their desire to be together rather than their desire to be right. When you have an issue in your relationship (as long as it is not repeated domestic violence), fix it.

Many people are already plotting an escape from the marriage or relationship they have not even entered. It's that bad... They are already seeking an exit from a journey they have not yet begun. When you hold in high esteem your desire never to lose each other above your desire to be right, then you can see how fixing would be done with joy and patience.


You don’t have permission to quit. Life may throw up and down, or toss you to and fro but you are not allowed to quit. We shouldn’t pray for a lighter burden but greater strength because with greater strength, we can withstand whatever life throws at us and trust me, life would always throw things at you.

You Can't.

You may be depressed, but you are not allowed to quit

You may be frustrated but you are not allowed to quit

You may be angry but you are not allowed to quit

You may be confused but you are not allowed to quit

You may be bitter but you are not allowed to quit

You may feel lost but you are not allowed to quit

You might be mistaken but you are not allowed to quit

You might make some mistakes but you cannot quit

Never Give Up.

You might have given up on life

Even for those seeking a wife

Life might have thrown you the knife

Causing you to have the internal strife

Never look back on life with regret

Duff off our hats and even your beret

You might be moving slow sometimes

Looking up to see others far ahead of you

Never despair; just keep moving, dear friends

The race is not to the swift alone or the strong

Crawl if you must and walk if you can

Run if you must and then fly if you can

But make sure you never stop moving

You may finish last but make sure you finish

There is always joy that comes with it

When you gave your all and never give up

This is my advice to everyone; never give up. Never rest on your laurels. Even if you are miles behind others, keep to your race. Make sure you attain and cross that finish line even if you get there late.

When you see the heart monitor, and you see the irregular lines, then you will understand that there is still life or hope but the moment the lines go flat, you can be sure the life is gone. The irregular lines show life is for you to know that life is full of ups and downs.

We need to know that with the ups and downs, there is hope for us. We should not throw in the towel. We should never conclude on ourselves when we still have breath in our nostrils.

When you have life trying to turn you down, when you notice you are faced with some difficulties, never forget that it is a clear sign that you are living for something. There is indeed hope for a tree that has been cut down because, at the scent of water, it will sprout again.

We need to encourage ourselves from within. We need to understand that life will try to pull us under but we need to learn how to stay on top of the situation. When a defining moment comes, define the moment or else the moment will define you. As long as you are still breathing, there is hope for you.

Learn to dream. Learn to dare the impossible. Learn to live for something. The moment you wake up and there is still that breath in you, which is another opportunity that life has given you to try again. Don’t give up because there is hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not from the onrushing train. You have dreams in your heart but you can only birth them when you take that step.

Thank you for your time.

Indeed, any broken things and any complicated situations in our life and relationships can be fixed, because not at always we need a replacement . Most specially if we value what we have, fixing would be easy. However nowadays, some people don't know how to give value to anything, as all they know is to dump and found a new.

That's the sad reality my dear. They are easy to throw things away because they don't value what they have. It's easier for them to throw it away.

I love this piece, agree on everything you said especially the line live for something, every day is a blessing, a day to be grateful that we still breathing and see our loveones and the beautiful surroundings, we should be seeking for opportunities, failure will always be just part of this life but we shouldn't just give up, life has a lot to offer, we might be loosing or getting tired sometimes but there is always another day to be living and get back on track, fix things and align your life again.

Something interesting to read in the month of October and you have just given the right message of not giving up even when we know it can be fixed. There are some things we can't fix at all because no matter how hard we try to, we would always be left broken in the heart. So, it's better to fix what can and leave what cannot.

Happy new month, KP 😊

Exactly, KP. There are some exceptional cases where it's better to ditch it than fix it and there are some where staying to fix things build in us the needed strength.

Loving isn't always about happiness as it always tested with a lot of challenges that the couple should face together. Rather than quiting I agree that we must find a solution to stay because we cannot find contentment on something that we wanted an easy outcome of just finding someone, it's much satisfying to fight over challenges and grow together with your partner.

It's all about growing together. If most people can see it from this angle, maybe it would make things easier for them to withstand the pressure.

I feel like these days we easily fall in love with the idea of falling in love. We thought it's all about having fun that when things go bad, we don't know how to handle it and we would rather quit finding the next best thing instead.

That's the weird idea most people have. They think it's all about having fun and this is why most people can't handle the pressure when it comes. A shift in mindset is needed.

Taking little steps matter alot especially when you feel you are being left behind. But moving together with others is always better than being a lone ranger. It does alot to improve one's mental health. That's why it's good to have a mentor

It's so good to have someone to guide and guard us because we are prone to making mistakes. We should leverage on the strength of others because it helps to give us the staying power.

Whatever happens, the storm may come, and we would fall or stumble and feel like it's the end of the world..but we shouldn't surrender because that's when we only fail if we stop going.

I wish most people can understand this. We easily surrender...easily give up and seek to find the easiest alternative...forgetting we are to build strength and fix things.

This here is one of the biggest issue plaguing this generation. People in relationships think about leaving it once the spark has faded because they no longer feel the way they did at the start of the relationship, they don't wanna work for a sustainable relationship,they are addicted to butterflies in their stomach.

They have been used to the deception when they watch movies. They always want butterflies in their tummy and hardly want to build anything. They want everything to be a smooth sailing which is not reality.

I love this. Some people easily chucks things these days a wasteful mentality. And now they even do it with people. We should work harder to keep our relationship and not just flee when it is going tough.

That's true. We do this with material things and it's shocking that we see humans do the same thing to another. When the going gets tough, most people take to their heels.
