Life is what we make of it...
This is so true. Though all may seem lost, and ones life may seem to be lacking direction, all one need do is look and or work harder for what they want. Even if it seems all of ones efforts are continually getting one nowhere... it must be leading to something. It can't all be for nothing, that wouldn't make sense. Find a way to overcome every obstacle put in your way, so it'll soon be behind you and you can continue to go forward. Don't let anyone or thing slow or bring you down. If anyone tries to dissuade you, or if anyone tries to tell you you can't, they are an obstacle. Put them behind you and continue forward. Carry no weights on your way up. Once you have achieved what it is you set out for, only then can you look back. Once you have overcome the obstacles and become successful, help those you care for. Even if no one helped you get you to where you were going, offer a hand. If you notice someone struggling, offer support in any form you feel would help them continue on their own path... where ever they may be going. If you notice someone going down the wrong path, a path to personal destruction, help them to find the path to personal improvement. If they deny the help, persist until they accept. Though much of this may be difficult, or seem impossible, try to put that out of your mind. One would not be able to think of something like this or write it out if it were not possible. Something like this, written out, would not be possible unless there was at least a tiny shred of optimism and positive thinking left somewhere, hidden in ones mind. Even if you think all is lost, read this again and try to put it in your mind. If no matter how many times you read this, it continues to mean absolutely nothing to you, ignore it. Maybe you're lost, maybe you're content in thinking all is lost. Maybe you're happy where you are... positive or negative. Maybe you've already overcome the obstacles, maybe you're already successful. If you're sitting at the top, help those trying to get there, get there.
I don't know what that is up there.
I am not one to want to work hard, but if it makes my life easier in the long run, I'm all for it.
