We all go through a phase of life when we are approaching our mid-20s or we have crossed it already and we feel as if we have to accomplish a lot of things in our life, our goals are still unclear and life’s just pushing us harder and harder with new responsibilities by every second. Guess what, you’re not alone, we all have to go through this particular phase because, life’s now changing, we are no longer kids, we have had our adversities, the struggles, and the darkest days of our life. Just before the best days of our life knocks on the door, we have to go through this painful stage and create a new dogma that will set our sail in the proper direction for the rest of our lives. You get tested the most in life when it’s time to Elevate. This is the time when we have to perform in the best possible way and show our greatness to the world.
If we look at animals for an instance, they all have a definite purpose in their life; for a Lion, it’s hunt-eat-reproduce-sleep-repeat. For a Sheep, it’s -don’t get hunted-eat-reproduce-sleep-repeat. See, if you are a good observer of nature, you’ll see a similar pattern in all aspects of life. You don’t have to motivate a seed or encourage it that, “When you are an adult, you have to become a huge tree and bear fruits”, all these living beings know their purpose and they follow that blindly. But we Humans, do not have the same purpose, we all are born different, we all are unique form each other and we have unlimited potential. Some follow the herd, some lead it. Some are born to rule the world, some just struggle in their 9-5 for their entire life. Successful people have just a few tactics and good habits that set them apart from the rest, but failures have a plethora of reasons and excuses. We all fail many times in our lives and even the most successful people fail. But what separates them is when their times were hard, when the days were dark, they reflected on their mistakes and learned their lessons, because they know that life will replay the same scenario in different ways unless they learn the lesson. It’s okay to fall down, but don’t just stand up right away, take a moment to think as if why did you fall, take a minute, take a day, take a week, or even a month to understand the lessons that life is trying to teach you, but once you rise up back on your feet, you now have the wisdom, you are now wiser, smarter, stronger and better than ever before, so with these new set of skills, be ready to face the next problems that life throws at you.
No one ever said that life’s gonna be easy on you, the bigger and brighter your future is, the harder and nasty your past has to be so that you can set examples and tell other people stories about how you overcame your adversities so you can become a ray of hope for them. You actually have got everything it takes to be happy, fulfilled, and successful. You just have to find your passion and figure out a way to make money out of it with the purest intention to help others. You just have to believe in yourself that you are born on this planet for a reason that is much bigger than you. The best thing about time is that it changes and the worst thing about it is that you can never count how much you or your loved ones are left with. So until we are alive and breathing this beautiful thing called LIFE, make the best out of it and leave a Legacy behind you, a stepping stone for others so that one day a person just like you who’s going through their dark days and their unsaid adversities can walk down your path and follow your footsteps hoping that it will relieve them of their pain.
As the adage goes,
“Everyday above the ground is a day worth celebrating…”
