Life doesn't have any manual. You might be told a few things about life but life isn't always casted in stones. You might think this is how life would turn out and be in for a shocker. You might be expecting the worst too and you might just be in for a wonderful surprise. We live and learn as we grow and go in this life. We need to be prepared in life, that's one thing I would say. Be prepared but don't be so stuck up about situations. Learn when to hold on and when to let go. There is wisdom in letting go of the things you can not change.
Life happens and it deals with us differently. We are all doing life together but then, we don't always have the same eventuality or outcome. Life is beautiful with people but surrounding yourself with the terrible set of people would take you back many years and it would only take a conscious effort to get out of it.
This is your life and nobody is going to teach you how to live it. No book, no guru. You need to learn from yourself, from life's happenings, from other people's experiences because out of these learning, wisdom comes and that is the most important thing in life - to learn and to do better than the day before.
Life might hit you hard and you will go through your life searching for answers. Some times you get the answers, other times you don't and you just have to live through life in faith. You'd cry. You'd laugh. You'd feel all alone and other times you'd be blessed with an amazing company. Life is not always cast in stones and nothing is certain except death and taxes. If you think someone is your answer, remember that nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today which is why we take advantage of every moment because they are always fleeting.
When a defining moment comes, define the moment else the moment will define you.
Don't be a secondary character in your life's story. Life will either bless you or bury you. It is not what others say about you that matters but what you say to yourself when they are done talking. Life will happen. Situations will threaten but your background should never put your back on the ground.
Most people like being pitied. They gather attention just by being pitied. Don't live your life with hand me downs. Don't live your life at the mercy of others. It's a terrible feeling to have when others look at you with pity rather than what you have to offer. Life is full of challenges and you have to live up to it.
Life won't always be easy. Life responds to pressure and the more we try to get ahead, the more we build our own character. If it were easy, there would be no Elon Musk. If it were easy, we'd never have Bill Gates. If it were easy, we'd never have the great men we have in our world, making changes and pulling weights with their amazing stories of how they rose up. It's never an easy story. Nothing is handed on a platter of gold as most people make it out to be. For anything someone enjoys, someone already paid that price with sweat and blood.
Who died and left you in charge? Who left you and forced upon you maturity and the pressure of navigating through life on your own? Who messed you up so bad and you think you'd rather give in than keep on living. Life is for the strong and you have to keep fighting. Let it never be said that you gave up so easily. You are only better when you are challenged.
Learn to rise up through the ranks. Seek for help when you have to. Offer value because you have something to offer. Never live at the mercy of anyone while using your story to gather sympathy. Everyone has a story. We all have stories. You can be seated next to a broken person and you wouldn't know it. Each man with their stories and you don't see them using it always to gather sympathy but they used it to propel themselves to prove a point to themselves, find themselves and be a blessing to the world at large. Situations often force the real us to emerge and only when you have built up strength over time with a series of happenings can you stand at the end of the day.
Who left you? Who died? Who forced maturity on you? You are not defined and should not be defined by those who left you because your life was never built to function that way. You are only better when you are challenged.
