Life DOESN'T Get Easier. You Just Gotta Be 'BETTER'!

 

Day-IN Day-OUT, at times we would stumble down and rise up.  Then, we stumble again.  And then we rise up, hoping and believing that things will get better.  BUT in numerous instances, IT NEVER GETS EASIER.  And those were the exact words of the lead actress in the Netflix ABSENTIA movie I was watching earlier last night.  Then that brings me a full circle back to our thread today because of my latest realization that despite all our brimming optimism, all the bright outlook we're looking forward up front, we just need to click and skim through those spates of breaking news.  Without making a sweeping statement, I'll even say that around 60% to 70% of every breaking news reflects situations turning from bad to worse, practically almost everywhere globally📗📙📘

WHICH brings both my feet back to the ground and restart another round of soul searching.  I realized that WHAT's splashed OR bandied around across social media are all the SUCCESS STORIES here and there.  BUT OF COURSE, dude!  If at all, you and me and anyone else will post on IG or FB all the nice and dandy updates or events in life.  And I CAN'T blame Paul Zuckerberg for coming up with "FEELING BLESSED", FB's most famous expression💚💛💜

So, if that's the wringer we're going through, you might ask '"WHAT's GOING ON"?  Simple, dude, simple.  That's the way life is all about.  WHO says that the cycles of life will consistently replicate the PEAKS and TROUGHS of the graph charts reflecting consistencies?  BUT ISN'T it that we were taught in the STAT 101 class that graphs are NOT supposedly pre-plotted to show consistent replicas of those PEAKS and TROUGHS?  In fact, I can paint a bleak scenario now WHERE [knock on wood] one of our very own day-to-day scatter graphs may even reflect more TROUGHs followed by a spate of TROUGHs and still many more TROUGHs before the graph's trajectory veers north-bound💥💥💥

As a concrete example, I can lift from the day-to-day pages in the life of Alex Eala, the up and coming Filipina tennis player WHO's hitting countless headlines because besides her 'high profile' WTA tournament wins, effortless she is a hands-down stunner.  BUT if we follow through her actual tournament performances this year, she's going through rounds and rounds of debacles.  BUT DON'T get me wrong.  That DOESN'T make her anything less BUT instead, that's a real-life manifestation that, probably, there are more DOWNTIMEs than UPTIMEs UNTIL such time WHEN it's dawn and the streak of sunlight finally shows up, voila.  BUT again, that's setting expectations✅✅✅

Our takeaway:  I am in no position to falsely show a facade of expertise in counselling BUT my 2-cents here is as simple as night and day.  If we need to RESET our expectations, YES please do in such a way that you paint graph scenarios of more TROUGHs than PEAKs and in the face of that assumption, let us be stronger to face the future TROUGHs with more endurance and resilience until the sun shines again,  YES dude, LIFE DOESN'T GET EASIER.  YOU JUST GOTTA BE BETTER😂😂😂
