Wow, it was only a few days ago that I had been feeling down in the dumps and overly stressed about my current life situation--but man! What an incredible feeling to be back to my positive and light spirited self...
It just gives us a lesson, when we are feeling so low like I was, that lowness, sadness, stress, and all the things alike only do more damage than they do good. Having optimism and keeping your eye on the goal means staying on track and feeling good. It also means that you will do better at whatever it is that you are trying to accomplish.
There are some days that all of us experience, when we just don't understand why we are feeling so stressed out, or why there is "so much going on" in our lives at any given moment. Well, I will say this: You will never be given trials and tribulations that you cannot handle. This is just a simple fact of life that many people haven't quite gotten a grasp on yet. I know that I am still learning, maturing, and growing--thus I hope I never stop...It seems as though every day, I learn a lesson or two [from myself] as well as from those around me.
The thing to remember is that sometimes, you really are your own teacher. You go through many things, and you learn more about how you respond, and also how you deal with those situations. In the end, you finally learn a lot about who you are as a whole. You begin to see yourself as a unique individual with a unique relationship to yourself, those around you, etc.
Just remember that when times seem unbearable, just take a moment to stop, think, breathe, and sort everything out--one thing at a time--and you will see that things are really not all that impossible after all.
Know your limits, but also know yourself. Keep learning, because that is how we all become who we become. Listen not only to yourself, but also to those who surround you. Have a support system, because most people need that in order to survive--I know for a fact that I need that system, and I will always need that system. My system may be different than yours, but those who support me and keep me uplifted and keep me going are so incredibly important to me in my life...and I try to remember to thank God every day for such blessings.
Keep on reaching. Keep on going. Don't ever stop, and NEVER give up. You are absolutely capable of getting through every single part of life that comes your way. You are special like that. You are strong like that. You are smart, and you are able.
Don't stop now.
