You know how you often shout, “That’s so unfair!”? Well, guess what? You’re absolutely right. Life isn’t fair. Who told you that it would be? The reality is, you won’t always get what you want, and things won’t be equal. That’s just how it is.
Life can be challenging. You’re going to encounter difficult situations, and people will let you down. You might even disappoint others, too! Heartbreak is likely in your future—maybe more than once. You may lose loved ones and feel lost yourself at times. There will be moments when you question how you’ll make it through the day or even the next hour. Life will throw some curveballs that I can’t even predict, and that’s true for everyone.
So what’s your plan?
Sure, it’s okay to cry and express your frustration. If you need to, lie on the floor and throw a tantrum. Just don’t stay there too long. While self-pity can be a natural response, don’t allow it to define you. Being overwhelmed with sorrow can turn you into someone bitter, and is that really who you want to be?
Don’t make “It’s hard!” your excuse; life’s challenges are part of the journey. Tackling tough situations head-on will help you grow stronger. Those who avoid facing difficulties end up stagnant, missing out on opportunities for growth.
Be Courageous
Remember that whatever you’re going through right now is not forever. Your feelings and circumstances will change—maybe in a week, a month, or even a year. But change is coming, so be ready for it.
Stay optimistic. Seek out the humor in everyday situations; it can be a great companion in tough times. Be resilient and strong.
No one lives a charmed life, not even those who seem to have it all figured out. Everyone carries hidden scars and faces struggles you may not see. Be kind, and look for goodness in others, just as you wish for them to see the good in you. Stay humble; you’re no better than anyone else.
Contribute Positively
Contribute positively to your community and aim to be the friend you wish to have. Life may be tough and unfair, but it is also filled with beauty and incredible experiences. Joy and happiness are out there waiting for you, but you need to pursue them. Don’t wait for happiness to come to you—go find it!
When your time here is done, people will remember you for how you lived. Think about the legacy you want to leave behind and strive to be that person.
This isn’t a trial run, kids.
