LIFE IS UP... SIDE... DOWN

in life •  7 years ago 

A friend once told me : DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN, TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU CAN, AT ALL THE TIMES YOU CAN, BECAUSE YOU...ACTUALLY CAN.

In this journey called #life, we often have three key stages:

  1. When we are on top of the world, we feel joyful always, we are blessed above our equals, we have good health and everything is moving well for you. (THIS IS WHEN LIFE IS UP)

  2. A time of balance and eveness, where you have just enough, you lack nothing but don't have every single thing you would want.(THIS IS WHEN LIFE IS SIDEWAYS)

  3. A point where everything seems to be spiralling downwards, a point where sickness flourishes and jobs are lost. When to eat starts becoming a problem. This time is the worst but thankfully for most the shortest of the three stages.

This times are inevitable, some are great and some not so great, trust me I've experienced them.

 # Now the question is, what do you do when such times come? 
  • Do you gloat over your achievements?
  • Do you make wild parties and quench the fire of your resources with lavish spending and no investment?
    Or do you have a deep think 🤔 with your self and plan.
  • You plan how your future will be, you invest your plenty so that if in future lack arises, the surplus now will balance out the lack tomorrow, and don't forget to attribute it all to GOD, the author and finisher of your faith and the giver of all you have?

We all should remember five things to help us in our trying times :

Nothing is impossible to achieve.

The word speaks for itself : I'm possible.

Perfection is not attainable, but if we try and chase after it, excellence can be gotten.

If you look at what you have in life and appreciate it, you'll always have more but if you always look at the glass half empty, you'll never have enough in life. So be contemted

Happiness is from within not without and sometimes it takes a bit of loneliness to realize this.

You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can alwalys adjust your sails to reach your destination.

So next time you in a situation, remember that this is just a phase of life and take actions to make the next one better. And believe me, it will!

Love you all. Have a blessed day;
AS ALWAYS, THIS IS YOUR GIRL #@LIZBETHK

Nice post, things are looking up already. Cheers!

When thing are down I don't usually look at the past but I look at the future and I know it's gonna be great someday I encourage myself with that. The light at the end of the tunnel is too bright I won't let darkness for a moment distract me.
