Get Back Up!
This morning, I received a message and I thought I should share with you all because really, I couldn't have put it any better. Do share your thoughts in the comments as always 😉
I woke up to blog this morning and I experienced a setback. It broke my heart a lot. Recent sacrifices I've made for this purpose flashed through my mind and I eased into helplessness.
I screamed at no one, "why today?"
I was angry, so angry I decided I wasn't going to do this, Inspire you. The situation was so demotivating. I asked several questions that I didn't have answers to. So many foolish thoughts came to mind due to the frustration. After about an hour of doing nothing productive, I asked myself why I was so angry. I realized I was angry for no reason. It was frivolous of me to have been angry at a situation I couldn't help. I picked myself up, encouraged myself and here I am again.
A life that experiences setback is one that is moving forward. No one who is stagnant can be setback, they always live in the back. I don't know what delay you're experiencing but I'm here to plead with you not to let it break you. Dwelling on your setbacks will do you no good. Suicidal thoughts are born from months (or moments) of frustration and depression. My big brother will always say to me, "I don't worry about things I can't help. I can't afford not to be in the right state of mind when what I can help comes around."
Shortly after I picked myself up a client that I've been having sessions with reached out on Whatsapp. I was able to tell her what she needed to hear. Her spirit was lifted and she confessed to the relief she caught from chatting with me. Just imagine me still being downcast. I would have laid my depression on the heart of another.
Did you know?
Your smile is someone's reason to smile. Your life is the reason someone is existing. What happens to that person when you give up?
You don't have the right to give up! The life you own is yours alone, but there are hundreds of others attached to yours. If you choose to be timid you will be their setback. They will eventually move on without you but you would have altered their purpose.
This morning my cousin told me, "after all the time here, money and strength na Wetin I carry
Comot o."
He is seven years older than me and he just graduated from Uni. I did over five years ago. He experienced several setbacks. He could have settled out of school but he chose to finish. He did on a remarkable note. He now owns a thriving clothing line and makes reasonable profit.
I heard about someone who passed through something similar and ended up hanging on a tree. Difference between these two individuals is that one gave everything while the other lost everything. They chose differently.
What's your story? What setback are you experiencing?
Delays are temporary.
This day will pass. Tomorrow will come. Don't live today when tomorrow comes. The sun shines differently every day. Some days it's blurred by thick cloud, other days it shines brightest.
Delay is not denial.... So true @adejoke16. We consider our setbacks as failure sometimes and it gets to us. I have realized that failing in some things in life generally might be impossible but we must learn to fail forward. Picking ourselves back up and living up to the expectations of others as we are answers to other people's questions.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @fisteganos
The day I decided never to allow my emotions rule over me ever again was the day my kid sister said to me, you are the reason why I never give up on anything, so why are you feeling this weak now?, from that moment onward I decided to get strong for myself and for everyone around me.
This is one of the most captivating lines in this post, why would failure (setback) looked for someone who had already failed by being stagnant ,does not make sense.
Indeed setback play an important role in building us and achieving great sucess
100% agree with your cousin, the primary goal of some situations is to build us, setbacks are the not main koko but our response to setbacks are
Nice post, uncle @fisteganos
It's crazy how "nothing" will get us worried and unproductive. It's crazy how we think sometimes. Life is hope. Living means we're still a potent candidate to be successful.
Setbacks are like a arrow set on the strung of a bow, it must be set back before it can move forward...
This is for demonstration purpose
Hmmmmm....... I love this
Well said👌
Life will always bring negative situations, bad memories can also be depressing.
What really matters is our ability to overcome these challenges and get back on our foot and get moving...
Thanks for sharing, you just inspired me to get back up...
Have a wonderful Tuesday
Very true. Challenges sometimes dont come to break us but make us. Challenges are meant to make us better and not bitter.
Sometimes you know things that we may have no control over, may decide to make us have frivolous feeling that will tend to destroy our morale.
Sometimes there is a reason, but we can't just decipher it.
Amazing here buddy, I hail you
Yeah. And those times we do not seem to decipher the reason, we ought to simply hang on to faith and not resign to fate.
