You rise and you fall. When you rise you know how people around
you treat you, respect you and be friends with you. They are there for a reason
and for a season. No matter how much you help them or how much you value them,
they will disappear soon as they find you are no longer "useful" to
them. Sooner they find the benefits they were reaping from you are no longer
available, sooner they find they can no longer take you on a ride, sooner they
find we are struggling in different situations and events, they disappear.
I wrote what came to my mind. And then I was looking for a picture to share it with. This is what google results gave me when I typed my title "Everything happens for a reason".
Remember this, every "shit" happens to us in life are
blessings. They pause you for a moment and make you think. Sometimes, you go
high speed in life, forget your principles, morals and values. These things we
consider horrible teaches you the reality of life, reality of people and
universal truths that we do not focus much attention on.
As I said in life you fall and you rise. I have had amazing
times in all facets of life and worst times alike. The good thing is nothing
lasts more than a few months. Specially when it's your bad time. Sometimes you
may feel that a certain event occurred in your life is the worst that can
happen to you. But after a few months, you realize that is actually the best
thing that can ever happen to you. It has happened to me many a times and I no
longer consider any extreme event in my life is actually bad or negative.
Rather, I treat them as a great opportunity to learn.
If you trust yourself enough, have enough confidence in you and
believe that there is a way, nothing can beat you in life. I had the best
period of life in every sense, up until a couple of months ago. Then this
"shit" happened to me. Yes, a little negativity can come in to your
system when something unexpected happens just like everybody else. I too was
thinking why now? Why does it keep happening when things were going great? Just
as soon as you experience the true freedom of life in every essence, something
goes wrong. When you are doing super great than the majority of "Success
People", something brings you down. Well I had all that in my mind too.
But I knew one thing. This is not the first time it's happening and it will not
be the last either.
Within less than two months everything is back to normal. Here I
am doing much better than I was couple of months ago. But not better than I was
about 6 months ago. But I am certain this opening will take me right up and to
a place much better than how it was ever before. Well, I am not saying same
thing that happened two months ago cannot occur again. The difference is that
it can no longer affect me. Because I know there's something better always
waiting for me.
If you had a smooth life without ups and downs in your life and
consider you have great bunch of people around you, you are mistaken. You have
missed an opportunity to learn the realities of life and realities of people if
you never face "horrible" (truly horrible and not just isolated
little events) events in life. If you never had such an opportunity, I suggest
you create a one. Fake it. It's worth doing it at least understand people
around you.
What this little period of about two months taught me was that
some people in your life has to be selected carefully. You need to know your
friends well enough. You need review your life every single day. Review your
principles, goals (Not the materialistic), morals and values. Compare yourself
with the person who you were about a year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago. Be
thankful and grateful for "very very few" people who stayed with you
no matter what. Be grateful for where you are now.
Finally, remember there's nothing called "shit" that
happens to us in life. They are just regular events if you look at them
realistically. You label them as fabulous and horrific. Believe me when I say,
such events makes you much more stronger and resistible to worst conditions in
life. Often they bring opportunities you never imagined existed. So, if you are
going through a bad patch of life, be greateful that you had to face it.
Becase, that will not last for long. What follows is gonna be super
interesting. Great Weekend Ahead People TGIF!
