sometimes, courage is all you have

Do believe, despite everything, the blessings in your life far surpass the trials life puts your way.When you have a misstep sometimes, it is a blessing. For instance, what if you wrote "I have many trials in life." and unmindfully ended up writing "I have many trails in life." That is how, problems become possibilities of a better something that requires you to journey through. See that?

How does one feel blessed? Sometimes, all we see is darkness. To stand with renewed strength requires a source. Fuel your dreams but do tell yourself and those around you what you are grateful for. We spend far too many moments telling people (especially at work) what we do not like. Turn that around. Tell them what you like about them, tell them you are noticing that they are working on their challenges. Tell them you are there to help. See the difference you begin to make and you will notice that those vibes will seep into to. You will feel blessed enough to stand where you want to stand or walk on your journey. It magically opens those doors of inner growth.

Develop the ability to not panic in a crisis. Self-awareness and being 100% in the moment can bring you immense focus to tackle the situation. You can go jelly-knees later once its over, but when you need to keep your wits about you to tackle something, do that. It is a habit to inculcate as much as it is to draw from your inner source of energy. I do. All of life's challenges gives you moments to practice it. Try it. On smaller problems. Then slowly master it. Be patient and kind with yourself when you practice it but don't give up. Know when to give up is equally important. Mostly, that is when one is trying to have a conversation where the other only wants a debate.

Dare. Allow yourself to be. Set no limits and see where life takes you. Soar and do not be afraid of falling.?Have balls.?

Live.?Have a ball.

Having courage to keep walking towards the unknown when you really do not know what lies around the turn of the road is a big deal. Keep it that way or not. Either way, that turn will come, in time. Most times, meeting difficult situations with a straight face requires courage. Most times, it helps to know you have?that courage somewhere deep inside you. If you want something, you have to conspire, desire and work to get it. If you feel the fear getting the better of you, acknowledge and then silence it by proving it wrong.?

Remember, no matter where we come from, what lineage or background, at some point,?you end up in your own journey. You will have people who have set limits or goals for you who will be very upset you are not following the path the envisioned for you. At some point, you will need to be ready to chalk out and grow as a person for your own goals. I have found that most times when people have told me “it cannot be done” or “you cannot do it”, I have turned around and motivated myself to defy that restriction.?

The road through life belongs to nobody but you. Be a survivor first. Believe in your journey and you will realise your journey has been a great one, despite everything. When you believe in that and have faith in yourself, it continues to be so. Be a survivor but know that you can?transcend beyond that. Faith in your spirit is what gets you across. There is strength in numbers but?there is a greater capacity in self-belief. That, once taken root in your heart will strengthen your resolve for everything life will bring your way.

You have your strengths and weaknesses. Always prefer to feed the strengths and enhance that instead of wasting time on weaknesses that does very little for your self-esteem; to each his own. You may feel you are not good at something but heck you are good at other things. That is where energy thrives. Prefer to focus on that. Look to your strengths. Find that inner sanctum from where you?draw your passions. Revel in that positivity. It never fails you.

Time has the ability to change you because it brings to you experiences that open several windows in your perspective that remained otherwise closed or barred. If you open yourself to those changes, the air is clearer, the view full of possibilities and it gives hope. Most of anything at all, it gives hope. Also, there is the statement “everything is relative in life” to tackle with. That, my friend, is something else and you must never confuse that with yourself.?

Find the will to be yourself and courage to drop the masks and be undone and know it will all be fine.?You cannot learn unless you unlearn.?

Time is relative. You are not.
