Conquer the fears, learn the trade of life
And you can't just live to live. You have to live to live. As soon as you were born, you had to suck the milk out of the nipple of someone willing to let you live. You didn't just come out and it ended. You came out then you started doing things to continue with your existence.
Nothing is absolutely given for free. You have to fight in some way. One way or another, you have to do what it takes to have some.
People think that food that is doled out is free. But then you need the guts of availing such a free thing. Nothing is free in life. You have to learn the trade to continue living.
And these days, many that I know are very vulnerable to depression. And it is not a joking matter. Once we get down the path of depression, it is self-destructive in its rights. You have to guard yourself against the fears that you harbor.
Losing interest in the things that you once love is a serious problem. But if you have the heart to sit down and figure out what your problem is, you may realize that you have something stuck in your throat. Or you have been pricked somewhere but you ignored it.
Getting down to the core of the problem is sometimes the key to picking up oneself. No matter how long, helping ourselves deal with our problems is the way to getting back to life.
Nothing is ever wasted. An effort is always an effort. Paired with wisdom, it will be very worth the while. And wisdom doesn't even come in an instant. At some point, we have been dumb.
So nothing's wasted. We always earn a badge of wisdom every time we commit an error. And if we keep forgetting what made us file yesterday, we can improve our memory and do better and wiser.
We always need to figure out how we can go further. Otherwise, we get stuck and it won't be long before we perish.
And fear has always been the reason why we don't move forward. We need to conquer our fears and learn the trade of life.
When we don't move forward, we learn the bitter truth of it. And when we gather the courage to do what we can to go on, then we feel the triumph of victory.
Fear, courage, wisdom, mistakes, etc... are elements in life. Some become adjectives when added with some letters, some are nouns. Some may be adverbs and some can be used on purpose. The key is combining and combatting. On and on we put on a show. Real or fake, in the end, we learn.
What matters may not matter at all while what doesn't matter may matter a lot.
Let us not be goners. Let us choose life over death. Time will come when death will choose us anyway. Let us not be in a rush. But let us not waste what we have wasted. If you get what I mean.
