Step On

Real life sucks but you don't have any choice but to embrace all its quirks and inconveniences. Outside the four walls of school, a jungle of scary events await you. If you're not brave and determined enough to face them, then you may be doomed.

Societal expectations will push you to become who you want or wouldn't want yourself to be. You will be forced to excel and move beyond your limits even if this entails sacrificing your own enjoyment or forgetting yourself in order to put up to the wishes of others. Then, you ask yourself, "Why are all these troubles happening to me?" "I've done almost everything to reach my dreams yet unexpected circumstances have hindered me in achieving my real potentials".

When things seem down, you begin to doubt all your skills and abilities. You start to question if you're really a good decision maker or if you've figured out the correct plans in your life. Well, when the worse happens, you try to comfort yourself by saying, "That's life!" You realize that you couldn't just halt your life after being squashed, burned, or trampled by a major problem. Time clicks away and you should and must move on.

You have to continue growing. It is in not stopping that you will notice positive changes within you. You will start noticing improvements in the various aspects of your life.

When everything looks stagnant, get out of your bed and continue learning. Read more books. Review more movies. Cook new recipes. Write letters. Bond with friends and family. Apply for jobs. Learn new hobbies. Exercise. Save money. Share. Be good. Pray. Clean your house. With all these little steps, you know you're educating yourself to become a better individual.

In life, there may be many quandaries that could shut down your system if you allow them to. But if you are strong-willed, enthusiastic, and positive, no one can take that smile off your face. You may not understand the world you're living in now. Or perhaps, you may not understand yourself. In the end, it is about choosing what you value the most and in the process, believing that God is pleased with what you are doing.
