WHAT PICKS ME UP WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH

Hardships, Tribulations, Trials and failures are inevitable so far as we are on planet earth. But the good news is we choose to let it get to us or fight it. Welcome to my worlddddd dearies. Let's sail through Inspiration!

I have been hit so many times at every stage of my life and I'm actually amazed I'm still alive. I believe God is the whole source for my survival regardless of the techniques I use to get right back on my feet. First of all when things don't go on well and all hope is gone, I coil and shield myself from everyone and everything(Food is not part please). I mostly find peace in being alone and that's when I can reflect on my life.

I proceed with my trust in time. My past experiences has taught me that time is the main guyyy. Time heals broken hearts. Time tells if you will get into a relationship with your bestfriend or not. Time tells if you would be friends with your crush or not. Time tells if all the sacrifices were worth it or not. Time! Time!! Time!!! Whenever I get into trouble especially, I throw everything to time. I'm like; "Tomorrow will come and pass" , "July will come and pass" , "Monday will surely come" , "next year will surely come and meet us" and it goes on and on. I do this because I believe everything in this world is temporary and troubles are certainly part. Nothing lasts forever. The THIS-TOO-SHALL-PASS mindset. (Exaaaaaactly)

I'm from a place full of gangsters so when life gets tough, we only cry for 5 minutes and move on with our faces cleaned. On rare occasions my people, I cry till my eyes beg me to stop because they don't have enough money to pay water bills. (Hahaha) It's not easy oo. I ask all the questions in my head expecting the air to answer and then sleep all the pain off. After the crying scenes, I then go straight on YouTube to get some inspiration and motivation. Oh and I get satisfied. I mostly watch videos from a channel I've subscribed called GOALCAST. I watch and listen to motivational speakers and people who have been through what I'm going through. I must confess that those videos really helped me alot last year in December. I was going through a tough time and that helped me to sail through. (Now here I am)
(A friend you are, Don't stop reading please)

After I've been motivated and all, I then write down affirmations. I AM BEAUTIFUL! I AM RICH! I AM A FIGHTER! I AM A CHILD OF GOD! I AM A WINNER! I AM STRONG! I write them on a paper and I paste it in my room and I repeat them aloud. I say them aloud right after I wake up from bed and when I'm retiring to bed. These affirmations remind me of who I am and what I'm capable of. It urges me on the to get back on my feet and continue my journey in life.

"When life gets tough, you get tougher". I don't remember where I read this piece but it makes sense. If you tune your brain to think that this life is all about survival, you would always strive to make it despite the tribulations. Anyways. I need you to understand that you are here for a reason. I know that sometimes life can be a difficult thing to navigate, it can break you down and challenge you in ways you never thought it would. But I also know you have the potential to do incredible things in this world. Just keep going. No matter what, just continue to remind yourself that you are going to make it, that you are going to heal, that above all else------- you are going to survive.
Live, Love, Laugh!
