I know we tend to think where we currently are and the challenges we are facing will never end, but the truth is; it’s just a season one is going through and it shall pass like the other challenges you’ve faced once upon a time in your life.
I remember when I was going through a tough time in my life, everyday seemed like I was drowning with things going from better to worse.
It’s funny when one bad thing happens in your life it opens doors for the rest of your misfortunes.
If there was a recess button which allowed you to check out and come back when you are ready, I would have taken it.
But then again looking back at that point of time in my life, I’m glad I encountered all the challenges I did, because today I stand firm and know I weathered the strongest of storms.
As clichéd as it might sound all your life’s experiences are preparing you for a much greater purpose and deep-seated you.
There is no point in living if you never learn anything and it is through challenges that we really see how tough and resilient we are.
If we had to have sunny days all year long, how would we appreciate the sun when we have stormy weather?
Sometimes we wish away seasons because we get tired of singing in the rain but it is in the rain that we get to appreciate all life has given us.
It is the hardest thing to try and convince yourself that all will be okay, when everything is falling apart and all the people you thought had your back suddenly remove the masks from their faces.
The bright side of being in the worst place is that you get to learn not to trust everyone who says they have your back and see who your real friends are.
In as much as the bad times seem to drag on we also don’t appreciate the good times that also come in our lives when everything is falling into place and no one can steal your moment.
I bet some of us don’t even realise how good we have it until we bump into a brick wall of challenges.
Life is a journey full of lessons and we ought to embrace them no matter how difficult it proves to be, there is a reason why certain things happen and don’t happen in your life.
In whatever circumstance you find yourself in, just soldier on and look forward to better days.
