Find Your Strength
Is this true? THAT we need to Find our strength? Yes dude, we need to. WHY? Everyone gets hit with life's more serious [and sometimes life-changing] problems, whether it is in one's relationship, at work, one's health, one's finances OR even a combination. WHAT happens when we find our strength? Then, that reinforces our 'arsenal' where we will draw our strength WHENEVER we are tested, sometimes even beyond our limits. The worst thing in life is WHEN you are overwhelmed with these life-changing problems and yet, you are NOT equipped with your personal 'arsenal' [WHICH is no less than an equvalent of one's ARMORY of STRENGTHs]. This is to prepare yourself WHEN/IF your life falls apart and you're left to pick up the piecesπ΄π·π΅
Oh, I came across this sometime back. YOU CAN'T FIX YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. When I stumbled across this one-liner, a light turned ON within me. IF I wanted a job, it was UP TO ME. IF I want to support my family, it was UP TO ME. If I wanted to scale up my career's trajectory, it was UP TO ME. In summary, I realized that everything about me was really UP TO ME. To translate all these in street-level simplicity, first, NOT to wish for BUT it helps WHEN you do get hit with a ton of bricks because that will shake you, that will wake you up from your deep slumber. Bottom line is, you are responsible for your life [and NO ONE ELSE]πππ
And to take on that responsibility in your life, you got to prepare yourself as a gladiator always ready for any war or enemy attack that may hit you. YES, that means that sometimes you need to do the HARD things the HARD way. You CAN'T even quit and ask for bailouts as you need to start trusting your own abilities. NOT only that it is UP TO YOU but most importantly, you got to start firmly believing in yourself no lessπ§π§π§
In life, we are comparable to the ship which must stock itself with all the food and provisions before it leaves port in case it gets stuck in the middle of storms in the high seas. Experts advise us to consider the below:
STOP PLAYING THE BLAME GAME - that will never help. You got to be forward-looking
START WITH SMALL STEPS - to pick up the pieces, you CAN'T be a SUPERMANπ₯π₯π₯
Our takeaway: All the lifelong journeys we went through will teach us that climbing out of despair requires more than just the desire for CHANGE. Instead, it demands actionable steps toward improvement. On the flip side of whining and complaining in life, we are encouraged to to start saying loud everything you are grateful for, even the littlest things because according to studies, that will make you feel better as it will lead you towards the path of GOODNESS TO GRATITUDEπππ
