How to climb the mountain of life and overcome the boulders it throws at you.
Okay so everybody has their own personal trials and tribulations, some worse than others, some seem to have it all and a perfect, smooth life, but that's never the case. Everybody has something they have to deal with and overcome, no matter how big or small. Some people have challenges in life thrown at them one after the other, and trust me, it can feel like it's never going to stop and you can't take anymore. One thing people always said to me was, "God only gives you what you can handle", and I remember thinking but I can't take anymore!!! Why does God, or whoever causes things to happen in life think that I can take this when I cant! I'm just a human being. And then there's the, "you're such a strong person" I just sit there with a straight face, because they don't understand that you have no choice, if you want to live in this world then, you have to face your problems. But I've come to the conclusion that it's not the challenges you face, that make you a strong person, it's the way you handle them and carry on with life after them. If you have the worst thing in the world happen to you, and you lay there and never be who you once were, you never smile, or have hope, then that's not you being strong. Being strong is having set back after knock down after set back and getting up and moving forward, showing kindness, smiling, and enjoying what you have.
Imagine a group of people climbing a steep mountain, each person is set up with a rucksack of life basics and climbing gear, some people start with lower health, some people start with more money, everybody is different. You start your journey doing okay, and then life throws a boulder at you. Your aim is to carry this boulder, either until you reach the goal and that trial is over, or it's something you have to work at and chip away bit by bit so the burden eventually becomes lighter and into nothing. You carry this boulder and you struggle up the mountain, you're tired, drained, unhappy, everyone else is walking past you and getting further up the mountain of life with ease. It can be frustrating, but you have to think, I'm not going to let this hold me back, I will carry this, I will get rid of this boulder! By the time you've reached the top of the mountain of life, you've had many more boulders thrown in your path, but you've arrived at the top with things the others don't have like perspective, wisdom and inner peace, you should be proud of every boulder that you have carried and wear your strength like a badge of honour that you've survived!
The main thing that I have learnt from all my lowest points, and bad news, is to count my blessings, to say thank you to the universe for every little happy moment in your life, every holiday, every kiss with a loved one, every moment of pure contentment. That's being strong, and the more you do this, the more positive things will come into your life.
Things I want you to take from this is, make the most of your time on this Earth. No matter how small your blessings, count them! If life wants to throw a huge challenge at you take it in, work around it and figure out what's the best situation you can make out of it and the best possible outcome. Don't forget, positive attracts positive, negative attracts negative! So if you surround yourself with negativity, you will attract it more. Flip everything and make it into a positive, whatever the situation, see the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Leave your comments and I'd love to know how you feel about things that work for you to overcome life's challenges and work through them :)
