” Can anybody say a prayer for somebody like me?”
Those are words from a chorus of a song I’m listening to right now. One of my favourite.
There was a time in my life where I screamed those words loud in my head, then.
My world was falling apart.
But, I maintained composure. Always smiled and laughed.
Never looked it the part of the chaos I was going through.
And things could be extra hard if you’re like me that doesn’t know how to ask for help or assistance from people.
Music was my my therapy.
When I’m alone, I’d wear my headsets or plug an earpud and listen to songs that’d lift my spirit up.
Different genres for different moods.
Sometimes,
Bob Marley’s “Don’t worry, every little thing’s gonna be alright.” Or Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”, did it for me.
All these to say…
Life’s full of ups and downs.
Sometimes, you can be up, bagging all the gigs, and getting more money than you can spend for months
And you’ll feel the world is yours.
Enjoy the moment, and prepare for the down times ahead, before the ups again.
And when you are down, as you’d when things fall apart, don’t break.
Remember, it’s just a phase. It’d come and go too.
Don’t let the bad times make you feel like a loser, or make you think you’ve got a bad life. Nah.
It’s all part of life programming- ying and yang.
Learn to flow and grow through whatever phase of life you’re going through.
Don’t ever let any circumstance make you think you’re doomed. Ever.
You’re born to win.
And even if you fall on some days, you can rest down a bit, but don’t stay down.
Stand up, and keep moving.
In life, you don’t fail when you fall, you only fail when you quit and settle for less than you deserve.
I know it’s not easy to keep pushing without some wins or rewards for the efforts, but…
Would you rather let all the efforts waste by quitting?
Did you come this far to just quit?
Don’t play yourself like that.
The great life you want is waiting for you to meet it half way.
Keep going.
Stay Sharp!
