I truelly believe that its when things go apparently wrong in life, is when we actually show our true colours. Its when we have to dig deep, to find something about ourselves we didnt think was there is what makes us the person we really are.
Im a believer in you make life what it is, in terms how you see it and how you act. Our futures are full of unknowns, now to most people this is a very scary feeling. Ive been brought up in a modern culture of exposure to many things, Ive worked and lived in another country, Im studying in another, these are all pieces of the puzzle that is life.
Most people dont thrive on being scared of the unknown, now for me I want my life to carry on in this way. I think the only way you get a sense of pride, purpose or achievement is by dealing with a new situation, one that you have to adapt to. Life becomes very mundane if we did the same thing we did the last day, week, month or year. The stereotypical view of you never appreciate things until they are gone I believe is only partially true, it depends how you go about your life. I can see I have so many things, not simply materialisitc bits but Im genuinly happy as a person, Im going down a path that has lots of doors, lots of different routes until I come to the end. Now some of these roads are scary, the fear of the unknown will and does hit me, but its how you deal with it, how you let it affect you that could make this fear something to almost look forward to or something to put you back in to a shell, to make you even more scared.
Why is it people are great at giving advice to others but never can give the same advice to themselves? Ok, "never" isnt probably the right word, but the way to think is may be to turn a seemingly bad situation in to one where you are now on the other side, what would you tell someone else if they were going through your pain, because more than likely it is something that someone is telling you. People can be their own worst enemy. Life is full of challenges, its these events that shape us a person, not all challenges are fun or wanted, but still we have to deal with them. Just remember that if life was straight forward, we would all be very very dull people, everyone would get along, no one would have an opinion. The next time something is forced upon you, a situation you cant avoid or hide from, greet it with an open mind, change is not necessarily a bad thing.....
