THE NEED TO HOLD ON

It is no longer news that life is not a bed of roses. We work for everything we earn whether directly or indirectly.  Sometimes the challenges accompanying survival pushes us to a corner and leaves us with the belief that it was designed to be that way. But if we push a little harder, we might find that we were only some steps away.

The ability to grow lies in your untaken decisions. More often than normal, we allow ourselves tossed around by mare situations. Who called it a wrap for you? Who told you the bend of the road is the end of the road? Until you desire to implement a positive change in your attitude, yesterday remains today for you and the future undefined.

Define your future and design your life. Grow your mental power and live above your yesterday! We all have a past, we still have life and we pray to live more. The problem most people have is not lack of opportunities that will place them on the high scale of fulfillment but the ability to put the horrible part of yesterday behind the bars of their thoughts.

Thoughts are powerful as they hold the emotional centre-stage of every life. Yesterday is gone; let it go! Today is here as a launch pad to a future only you can determine. It’s good to visit our past accomplishments and refresh our minds, getting ready to hit another accomplishment cross-bar. But when our past is not green enough to motivate us on the task ahead, the need to visit it becomes worthless.

The demands of life are never in the past! Every new day comes with new demands. And what we conceive is obviously what we give if converted into projects or attitudes. Some people allow history to reshape their lives and their decisions or judgments are webbed around what happened some decades ago. Experience is good! But reminding yourself of some horrible experiences definitely will step your life backward with a total emotional imbalance.

Why should we hold on when our lives are in a mess? Why should we continue genuine strives when the government is not helping matters? Why don’t I get support each time I try to? These are no doubt questions that files in our everyday thoughts and they carry on their shoulders, the responsibilities for our ill-actions. But hey! You’ve got a license to kill every projects and accomplishments… now here’s the need to hold on… you have a purpose to achieve; and you must achieve that purpose… period!

You feel you are depressed and downtrodden? Listen to someone else’s story; you’ll be so thankful about your situation. “Every man” must carry a cross of challenges. So what you’re carrying is just your own share. Bear it and make the most of it. Keep in mind, you can’t solve them all. For every challenge you succeed over, there are tougher ones on the queuing to strike. So it’s a win, win game. You just are faced with no choice but to keep winning.

Reality is not waking up and hoping to win. Reality is waking up, striving and winning. The journey will never begin itself, you must begin the journey. Wants and desires are must achieved; and time ticks on. Get on the pedal and hit the success speed lane. We have “today” to make a referring yesterday from. Your thoughts are obviously who you turn out to become. So thoughts are very essential to your entire life.

Walls, obstacles, financial challenges… Hold on! Improve your personal life. Learn new skills. Grow your mind and work on the positive path ways. Choose your friends and rule your game. Tears and worries never solve issues. De-concentrate on ideas that will not bring you success. Focus on your strong points! In every fall, is a great rise waiting if you pick yourself up, dust off the shame and pride and continue on the speed lane.

We all are aware that “nothing good comes easy”; so we’ve got to make ourselves up and face the challenge. You’ve got a purpose, that’s why you can’t afford to give up on yourself. You just can’t afford to fail. You want to make “more” money? Create more impacts in the world in which you exist. Make your service delivery the priority and watch money cue behind.

The shadow of a broken heart does not understand the pain it feels to be broken. People assume but only you can tell the right spot. That’s why only you can fight your pain into gain. What is most important is to focus more on your goals. Believing in one’s self is the ultimate decision everybody has to take. All you owe yourself is “holding on” no matter what circumstance you go through.
