Life’s obstacles

In life, we go through some things, to most…obstacles. Without those obstacles, life would be boring and in my opinion, meaningless.

You can go over, under, around, and between them. In many cases, they come at the most uneventful times and just drag your situation further in the ground, but hey, it’s life.

What do we expect? For life to have an easy button to everything?!

Not one single person is born and dies without a single obstacle hindering them at some point in life. It’s a challenge and who doesn’t like a challenge? -Success isn’t truly appreciated without a challenge, right?

Maybe you felt as though you’ve gone through a lot more than others, maybe that is actually the case, BUT there is always someone out there going or has gone through something worse than YOU. We must learn to appreciate the obstacles we do face because it allows us to “show what we’ve got”. A person really doesn’t realize their strengths till their weaknesses become prevalent. Everyone has a weakness and we’re all meant to enjoy the short time we do have in life.

Look at it this way-

Since you live once, would you rather;

A) Go through the life on easy street, with little obstacles and pass on without having really tested yourself

B) Go through life thorougly being tested by a challenge around every corner, realizing your true potential and progressing yourself

-> In my opinion, B sounds better because then it would mean my life is worth something and the things that I did accomplish in life felt right, considering the effort that I put in. It takes a special force inside of a person to overcome an obstacle, but we all have to cross that bridge at some time. You may have a helping hand to overcome the obstacle, you may not, but remember that the obstacle is what makes you who you are.

The biggest limit to people overcoming is their own minds. We as people, use outside as influence as crutches that usually have a negative impact on the mindset we taking, in regards to obstacles. As said in society, “go with your gut feeling”. I understand that the odds may be stacked against you, but it only takes a split second for the sun to peak from behind the clouds. Value the clear, mild, and even stormy weather because that’s all you’ve got and there is no choice as to which one you receive.

“To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

Taking Baby Steps

697_baby_steps_jpgWe all know the old saying, “you gotta crawl before you walk”, right?

 

Well that can be used in any situation that you go through in life. I don’t think any of us came out of the womb walking,talking, and running lol. In a lot of things that we do go through it takes time and many of us tend to want to rush. Allow me to point this out for you, I’m sure you do not want to rush through  the short time that we do have in this existence we call life.

On our planet, we have these standstill objects called stop signs, which do indeed keep us from rushing. When you do rush through the stop-sign, there’s a high chance that you’ll get a ticket, or punished. They do not do this for the sake of it, they do it to keep us out of harm’s way. Now let’s take it back to the beginning.

  It is all about PATIENCE and as another saying goes, “patience is a virtue”.  Some things in life happen quickly and others don’t, but if you can recall, it can all be taken away faster than it came.  The baby steps you do take use that early time in life to develop your walk so you can run. I’m sure you don’t want to be the one person with the messed up walk/run because you didn’t take the proper time to train your steps. 

Here’s something else to think about – When you’re taking baby steps, it allows you to thoroughly view the world as it should be seen, nothing to be taken for granted.

Personally, I  like to do things in life at breakneck speed so I constantly have to remind myself to have patience. For the rest of you speed demons, slow yourself down so you can see the world and all it’s beauty in life.

…Until we meet again

Second Chance Relationships

I wonder how many times most of us have seen it… You know, a person gets done wrong in a relationship and they’re given a second chance.

Many times we often find that we question ourselves so much in relationships, just because we like to subconsciously nitpick. It’s quite funny when I think about it myself lol. You end up saying to yourself, “why in the hell am I allowing them a second chance”, eh? It happens to most of us. We do a lot of questionable things, that we KNOW our partner would not like, but still proceed and expect them to just get over it. I mean it’s ok you know to have faith and trust that they will forgive you, but some things just don’t deserve a second chance.

Second chances allow people to make those vital corrections, but also allow people to make the same mistakes, thus making the impact of those mistakes even harder. Granted that in many cases people need time to re-evaluate the relationship and make space, it’s can be beneficial or detrimental to give it that second shot. It could be one of those relationships that get THAT much better or it could be one of those relationships where it gets THAT much worse. Now its up for you to decide, but just go into your decision with your eyes open and aware of all impending flying objects… you do not want to be blindsided at all.

I have been on both sides of the fence and neither one is preferrable, but more often than not, that second chance opportunity presents itself. At times I wished that I could not have given second chances and at other times, I wish I was given a second chance. Life moves forward though.

Regrets are usually not the answer as well because that leaves the door open for doubts on the future and any doubt within a relationship is never a good sign.

+Communication is KEY+

We do only live once, so why not, right?
