What's Giveth, Taketh
While in life we kept claiming that NOTHING is free in life, that there's NOTHING like a free lunch because they are NOT even free after all. Yet, from time to time, there's 'manna from heaven' that gets dropped from heaven or from a good samaritan OR probably, simply due to a streak of luck, an opportunity pops-up and its voila. But when that happens, not everyone subscribes that What's Giveth, Taketh๐๐๐When life knocks us down, do we bounce back fast enough or do we get drowned in our emotions, till we give up? BUT hey, if you're struggling with coping with life's blows, you're NOT alone. Been there, done that. Everyone encounters challenging times in our lives. And I guess it is a non-issue that we never know what life will throw on us come next day. Life is such one of a hell of a big roller-coaster ride of UPs and DOWNs. There will be times when you feel like you're ON TOP OF THE WORLD while other times, you may feel like you're hitting ROCK BOTTOM⏳⏳⏳Indeed, playing with the unknown makes our journey through life equally exciting and terrifying. In case you have been clinging to dear life with the belief that life is supposed to be linear, you're in for a rude awakening because that's NOT the case, truth be told, much as this is a hard pill to swallow๐๐๐When bad things happen, it's natural to feel down. You may even fall into the trap of assuming that things will NEVER get better. Unfortunately for that kind of mindset, this is the very mindset that keeps so many people stuck in one place and drowning in 'victimhood'. This wild ride that we call in life is actually an endless string of HIGH and LOWS, SUCCESSES and FAILURES, SETBACKS and COMEBACKS❗❗❗
Now, I had my fair share of bouncing back in my personal journey. In the past, at some points, I was like rudderless, with no direction. At several times, I was out of job [and you guess it right, in dire financial straits]. So, how did I bounce back from the rubble? In many ways, those adversities made me beef up my personal arsenal of strengths. I even flipped over some of my debacles to patch and reinforce my arsenal and I did constantly remind myself not to have opportunities slip through. WHAT'S GIVETH, TAKETH✅✅✅
