Funny how we get comfortable and set in our ways so much so that when something screws it all up we spiral with out direction. This spiraling is probably one of the scariest things a person can feel. No direction, no game plan, the team is busted up. You just stand there thinking what the hell just happened. We go through the "why me" questions over and over in our head. We try to figure out how this could happen and where we went wrong. The light at the end of the tunnel in no longer there.
This is what I have gone through lately. I have not really told anyone because I thought I may be the only one but as I think more about it, I don't think that is true. I think a lot of us go through this feeling from time to time. Depression is a bitch and can suck the life our of you for sure. It is nothing to try and handle alone. So sometimes we have to step back and look at it from a completely new angle. Do you believe in fate, a predetermined destiny? Do you believe you have to live with what life has dealt you? Why?
Sitting back waiting on God to help you out of it? Well I hope you answered no to all those questions. There is no fate. things change from moment to moment flowing and following what ever path life needs to take. Whatever discisions we make effect every part of it. God is going to bail you out? Nope he doesn't do that kind of thing. Don't believe me then try this. Stop eating and see if God will keep you from starving to death. It won't happen. He he does not give us hard times so we may learn from suffereing. He gives us challenges so we may better ourselves and prosper.
We need to meet each day head on and see what happenes. If it beats us down then we rest and meet the next one the same way. Preserverence..... it can move mountains or mole hills. It can change the world and inspire others. I have watched people I looked up to get beatdown and come back stronger. Some of which are beat down at this very moment but I know they will come back stronger than ever. With a renewed love and drive for life. I look forward to this day. Me, I am good myself. Yea it beat me up for a few months but it not going to win. If troubles in life think they can take me out then they have not met my friends. When I stumble, I do not fall, I simple reach for a friend and they offer support. It is an amazing feeling when you start thinking about all the friends you have at your disposal. Just knowing they are there can give you enough strength to push on. So push on I will. Stand proud, I will. Live each day to the fullest, you bet. When you think you are alone and the only one feeling the way you do.... Think again. We have all been there and back. Friends can help, just let them.
Life is not always about what we make for ourselves but what we make for others.
