Life is full of so many ups and downs. Life alone is literally a roller coaster. Each day you may have an idea of how its going to go, but we literally cant predict exactly how its going to go. We cant predict if or when something bad is going to happen. We cant predict unexpected good things to happen. And some times things don't always go as planned.
Life throws so many things at us... both good and bad. People have temptations...its human nature. But, how you react to the things thrown at you, temptations, and daily challenges all depends on you. What are your values? What is important to you as a person? Are you secure with yourself and have well established boundaries?
Human nature is full of so many undefined discrepancies. We over think so many things, to include things that haven't even happened yet. We hold on to things we know we shouldnt. We hold on to hope even knowing when something is bad, or just not right for us. We hold on to things that hurt us continuously because it was once comfortable. We let bad circumstance or situations define the entire rest of a day, or week, or month. We put people or things first that wouldnt do the same for us. We listen to words of others without letting their actions speak louder.
At some point, you have to stop thinking about what could go wrong and think about what could go right. At some point you have to put yourself first, and think about your values. At some point you have to stop overthinking about people or things who hurt you. If something puts a wrench in your day, think about what you can do to make it a better. It's easier said than done, but pay attention to you, and pay attention to who is willing to go through hell and back with you.. rather than who or what tries to put you through hell.
Everything could be going completely right, until theres one thing that throws it off. Or, everything could be going completely wrong, until there is that one thing that helps go right. When everything in life feels like its going wrong, who or what is there to help make it go right? And when everything is going right, who or what is there trying to make sure it goes all wrong?
Pay attention.. open your eyes... we aren't always going to have a good day. Life happens, people piss us off, work gets frustrating, it rains on a sunny day, accidents happen, we get hurt by people we love, we put all our effort into things that break, and we try just to end up failing. But what keeps you going? Why do you wake up the next day and continue moving? What drives you in this roller coaster called life? Who is there through the storms and not just the sunny days?
