Everyone has those moments where you’re insecure about life. You don’t know, if you’re doing the right thing, you doubt your choises, you start losing the ground beneath you, you lose the faith in yourself and we fall down into hole with anxiety. You slowly but surely start losing yourself. Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to be able to be able to understand your pain, all you see is yourself falling and can’t stopping it. At least I can say, that those things happen to me once everywhile, but here is why it doesn’t matter.
The reality is no one cares about our problems, do they? There are 7.9 billion people in this world who has the time to look out for other people. You may say now something like: “I don’t care if there are 7.9 billion or 79 people on this earth my problems are still my problems!” or something in that direction. And the answer is: Yes you are totally right. As much as you don’t care for the rest of the world, the rest of the world also doesn’t care. At the end of the day you have your problems and the other 7.9 billion people have their problems. So you realize you are the actual owner of your own problems. It seems obious, but this is a very important fact to remember. Why? Because if you own something that means something belongs to you and from this it follows that you are also the person who can change the circumstances. Get aware of the fact that you are the only person who can change your circumstances, because as mentioned apart from that there are 7.9 billion people with other problems you have the power, the possibility and the chance of change. To be able to turn your misery into something positive. It lies in your hands. And that legitimates you to be the strongest person in your life – you could say you are able to be the true protagonist of your life. You are obviously always the main character in your life, but you can decide which type of character you will be.
Will you be superman or more like an antihero? What ever you choose to be, you have to remember, you are who you are, but also you are your own driving force. So instead of complaining about how bad your situations are go deep inside you and try to solve your problems one by one, step by step, bit by bit. Divide them into the most little atoms and make them small, minor, weak, so small that you can attack and defeat the problem, by execution. Be your own hero that saves you out of your miseries and makes your life worth looking back. Don’t think of the easy ways out, but rather stick to your life and try committing to the fullest and bring out the potential you have in yourself.
No one cares, but depending on your decisions and ambitions you can make them care. Make yourself a shining star so people can look up to you, not because you want to be looked up, but rather striving for a better tomorrow and repeating that process over and over again until you reach your ambitions. So that you can look up to yourself in the first place. So that you can be proud of yourself. So that you can climb out of the hole and start running towards your future seeing the sunlight instead of drowning and falling into despair. Work for your problems to solve them and make your efforts matter. Make it worth putting in the hard work.
No matter how hard you fall make sure to get used to it, because it won’t get easier and try to cope with it. Face it, instead of running away and ignoring your problems. Save yourself and look the problem right in the eye. Stare back be rutheless, be wild. Free yourself from the comfortable. Make it worth suffering. We are suffering somehow or other ways, we can at least make it pay off.
That is the message I give to you from a stressed and painful thursday. I hope you could take the message and it motivated you.
