Everybody wants to be happy in life. We all want to live a perfect life. We want to have a great job or a successful business. We want to be married to Mr. Right or Ms. Perfect. We want to have friends that stick by us come rain or shine. We want to be able to have all the material things life has to offer and have all our problems just disappear. We tend to be ambitious sometimes, like I want him, I want her, I want to have this, I want that, I want to achieve this or should I rather say, I don’t want this dream to stay as a dream but rather a “dream come true”. But what if, life has something more to offer? What if life takes you to the edge of giving up onto something? Give in? Give up? Give it all you’ve got? Life is a struggle. It will throw curveballs at you, it will humble you, and it will attempt to break you down. And just when you think things are starting to look up, life will smack you back down with ruthless indifference. Life was never meant to be easy – it’s a constant struggle with extreme lows and extreme highs. The times when it’s most important to persevere are the times you will be most tested. I have here 5 ways, some or maybe most of us have lived their life, one is being a “tire” – you can be used but in sometime you will eventually be replaced; next one Is being a “flyer” – wherein you flee the situation, come out with fears and excuses; or you can be the “crier” – like “I can’t do this”, “I don’t have the guts”, typical and pitiful way; and there goes the “liar” – that looks good on the outside but they are totally broken and lost; last one are the “trier” – like you know what I’m never gonna give up, I may have been knocked down but who cares I’m going to get back up. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and sometimes it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna get hit as hard as life. But it isn’t about how hard you’ve been hit but it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. It’s so funny that I have chosen this kind of topic; well in fact I had given up a lot of times in my 17 years of existence. Opportunity only knocks once and I let them slipped off in my hand just like that without thinking of the possible outcomes that it may bring. I gave up on my best friend and never did I felt that kind of pain, like damn it hurts. I almost gave up being an accountancy student, yeah almost, and I thought to myself almost will never be enough for me to give up. It’s kinda sad that we don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone. It’s the same thing like people have to lose something or rather someone for them to realize they mean a lot to them. Realizations come late. But that’s still better than not being realized at all, right? At least you’ve finally come to a point of realizing what you’ve done and you can never turn back time to make things right. That’s why it’s called realizations, to make you ascertain what you’ve had, what you’ve lost, and what you’ve taken for granted.
