Life is Full of Ups n’ Downs.
‘Cause Life is a Lesson, YOU learn it when you’re through.’ (Limp Bizkit – "Take a Look Around")
Safety seems 2 be the desired purpose, aimed destination. Being protected by an invisible net to avoid unpredictability is the desired goal of many.
Too much-secured ego & taking things for granted, many humans tend to be unthankful, by taking fortunate life circumstances as privileges.
To face challenges with an uncertain outcome makes one wiser, resilient, & strong – YOU mature into YOUR personality.
Often, I’m talking to humans coming from all continents telling me they were at least once, twice without any cash, broke, or bankrupt. No money left 2 pay rent, electricity bills, insurance, & fix costs; daily food 2 afford the high Western standard of living.
Feeding & living from hand to mouth, forced 2 buy groceries at the cheapest discounter. Going for a pizza seemed light-years away. People have 2 move to cheap rooms or share a small living space with others in a similar situation.
Openly & sincerely, I’m told of great hardships, desperate & deserted moments. One has hit granite ground, needs to feed the cheapest in reach. Beans from a can, cowboy food – a proteinous lifesaver keeps one above water in starving times.
Surprisingly, nearly no one feels ashamed 2 talk openly about these nagging & lacking times – but the opposite! Proud & easy 2 have come out of the mess- with the virtue of one’s own strength, unbeatable resilience, faith & grace within. Clear faith & heart – not feel left alone but protected & guided by higher spirit.
I’ve been living & working under these circumstances as well; it was bold, lonely, sleepless. Friends & acquaintances turned away, avoided me. Gossipped that I’m doing badly. ‘They always knew I’d end up like this … Sic!’
Fridge empty; no calls, nor any engagement. You’re Alone when You are Done & Out.
Humans who helped me – mostly had little but were generously sharing, even their coins! These enhanced my confidence, uplifting spirits that every thirsty road has an end!
A Hug at the very right Time can save a Life
When money was again in my pocket, the very same people who let me down & left alone in the dark … returned! Provided compliments for my Phoenix Rising Out of the Ashes-Rebirth – handed over a bottle of champagne. Instead, I preferred a beer, shared with genuine friends who stood loyal by my side during the breadless & homeless times.
‘Hitting rock bottom, facing hard times makes one strongly experienced. Realizing how little it takes to survive if forced to.’
Non-stop self-pity complaining is at one’s & others’ expense. That’s nerve-wracking; doesn’t move one any forward or in calmer waters.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention
No low is too low not 2 stand up again! With self-esteem, inner strength, resilience, EQ & faith!
To survive, evolve. 2 succeed.
