HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE

Somebody said "Life is Strange". I said "Life is full of ups and downs, nothing is ever straight or easy to come by in this life. That is why everyone is struggling to have a better life for himself at least". somebody said "Many get lost in the struggle of life, Many lose their lives in the process, many sell their souls to make it and only few overcome the harsh realities of life and become victorious at the end". I said "We just need to trend softly in the journey of life, take each day as it comes, prepare for any uncertainties and hope to be one of the few that will overcome life and be victors".
That was the conversation between someone and I, when I saw this picture on his Display Picture. It is true that we sit down, make plans, wonderful plans and imagine how we will go about the plans. sincerely no one can tell me that when he is making out plans he also added some rough plans or hard situations he wants to encounter in the process, nobody wants hard life, in fact everyone wants the easiest way at getting their desires. Life is full of sufferings and struggles but it is also full of overcoming for those who are determined.
Some of the HARSH REALITIES THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LIFE are:
  • Good Things Are Hard To Come By: Life is not easy but it is worth living, if you expect life to be easy then you will end up being disappointed. To achieve anything worthwhile in life, you have to put in your Time, Effort, Determination and Persistence.
  • Not Everyone Will Support You: You should also know that in life not everyone will support you, and you don't have to agree with everyone either, that is perfectly okay. "I am not in this world to live up to your expectation and you are not in this world to live up to mine" (Bruce Lee). Don't let the opinions of others make you forget that your struggle in life is different from theirs. We have all been placed in this world to discover our own life and you can never be happy or successful when you live someone's idea of life or feel your struggle is the same with another person's
  • No Happiness Without A Bit Of Sadness: Who said the rich doesn't cry? You should understand that one of the realities of life is that no matter how rich and comfortable you are, life will still bring some things to you in any aspect of life that will make you sad. It is up to you to either allow this to weigh you down or tell life that "No matter what it brings to you, you will achieve the best out of it".
  • You Will Always Get Less Than You Desire: In life you can't get total desire, you can't reach the peak at what you desire, you should always live by that and know that this is a reality of life you need to deal with.
  • You Can't Have Everything At Your Disposal: Also, you should also know that you can't always have everything at your disposal, you lose some and you win some, but when you lose don't see it as failure, see it that life is actually redirecting you to something even better.
  • Life Is Risk: You should know that everything in this life is risky. Living on it's own is a risk, you don't know what might happen in the next second, minute, hour or day. Learn to take risks, it is a reality of life you need to know.
  • Happiness Cannot Be Bought But Earned: Finally, in the long run, no matter how well you've lived life, no matter how rich you are, no matter how successful you are, to get the everlasting Happiness, you have to earn it through the way you live your life right from your youth. Because life will never give you the complete happiness you deserve. 
I hope you've learnt one or two things from today's write-up? Live each day as it comes and to avoid regrets. A wonderful shoutout to Soremekun Simi. I love you all.

DISCOVERING YOURSELF

I was thinking, should I go ahead with this plan? How far can I go? Is it worth it? etc.... With lots of support from a dear friend I decided to push forward my skill in writing, more so because I find it easier to put my emotions in paper or perhaps keep quiet about it than telling anyone,,, Strange? Nah,,,, some people are just like that. I was thinking of what my first write-up should be and I was able to come up with this after all, I titled it  "DISCOVERING YOURSELF".

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

So I was supposed to have posted this much earlier before now but my day has been stressful. Hope yours wasn't as stressful as mine? I will be talking about a simple topic today, "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF". I want to pass my WAEC and UTME once, I want to graduate from the university with first class honors, I want to do this and that. You have lots of great positive goals you want to accomplish, alongside, there is this awkward tinning voice asking you if you can actually achieve all of it, asking whether you are ready for the stress attached to it but not telling you the benefit of the end product. It happens to virtually everyone. It can often be hard to believe in yourself, especially when you feel like you have nothing to offer or you are unworthy of some things. But you are worthy and you are capable. If you are having trouble seeing all the amazing things that you can do to start believing in yourself, you can take stock of what you have accomplish...

LET GO OF THE PAST

Have you ever had any experience that made you ask questions like "why me?", "why is this happening to me now?", "why am I going through pains as severe as this?" etc. Well this is life and things don't go according to our plans or desires, and when something negative happens, we are moved, shattered, upset and sometimes even resentful to a point of pain and suffering.
