From The Heart: Life Part 2

Life is tough, it's filled with obstacles, trials, temptations, problems, everything. But it's all apart of life, it helps us grow, mature, learn and become better people. As of late, at the first sigh of trouble and problems, people seem to give up, run away, sweep it under the carpet or avoid it in general. That's just really disappointing man, when you're given a test or a puzzle or something and you can't solve it, do you just give up and be like uh whatever I'll just fail, no...you try different methods, figured out where you went wrong, try to fix it, don't stop until you get it. Life is the same thing...when life throws an obstacle at you, you're not gonna be liek...you know, I'm too tired, it's too hard, I'm just going to stop where I am and live life the way I am for the rest of my life. As humans, as people...we're meant to grow, learn from each other, our surroundings...we're meant to change, adapt, become better. It really annoys me when people run away from their problems thinking it'll go away, thinking someone else will do it for them. how do you expect to grow as a person. If you constantly run away from the same problem, it won't go away, it'll keep coming back and everytime it comes back, you'll run away. If life were easy, it wouldn't be worth it. A rollercoaster isn't fun if it only goes down. It's the ups in the rollercoaster that make you nervous, excited and ready for the downs, it makes the downs more fun. In life, if everything were fine and dandy, rainbows and flowers...yeah you would be happy, but you wouldn't relaly appreciate it. It's the downs, the pains, the tears, the blood, the sweat that makes you appreciate everyhting so much more, that makes it worth it, that makes you appreciate all the little things that you've been through. You can't have a rainbow and sun without having a little bit of rain you know, It's not how far you STILL have to go, but it's HOW FAR you've already come. If you just ran straight from the start line to the finish line, yeah you finished but so...if you go through obstacles, trials, tests, things designated to STOP you...you'll feel so much more accomplished, because it took you so much effort and work to get there, you'll appreciate it more. That's what I'm saying...problems are apart of life, but conquering it makes life so much more enjoyable and fun. Yeah it's hard, it's painful, you don't wanna at times...but you have to come at it with a positive mentality. You don't approach a test thinking, oh man I'm gonna fail, otherwise you've already failed. You don't go into war thinking, what if we lose, what if I die...cuz then you will. You have to attack life with a positive mindset, find the good even when things seem bad. You have waaaay too many things in your life to be HAPPY and THANKFUL for to be sad and mad about a few things that aren't going your way. That's just me man, life is important, precious, cherish it, appreciate it, life it, enjoy it.
