An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward, so when life is dragging you back with difficulties it means that it’s going to launch you into something great, so just focus and keep aiming!
Something that I found on a friend’s phone. It makes sense logically, but it’s also one of those things where you don’t really think about it in that way. Like when I’m going through difficulties, whether it be my personal life or studying, the last thing that is on my mind is that something great is about to happen. The real thought is that my life is a disaster, like ‘how can this actually be happening to me? That quote for me just shows you how much you have to look at the bright side of everything, and not automatically think that the world is going to end, even if it truly feels like it. It also, for me shows me that God has something great planned for my life. Me going backwards may be his way of bringing me back to reality, instead of letting me float in my ego. Not that I really have one, but I hope you get my drift. It shows me that he has bigger and better plans for my life, and as long as I am able, I’m going to do everything I can to find out what that bigger and better is.
Firstly though, I’ve got to conquer university. “I’ve got 99 problems and uni is every single one!” If you’ve never thought about dropping out or wondered if this life is really for you, are you really doing uni properly? Like I mean second year is still hitting me and it’s nearly christmas. The amount of times I’ve asked myself if this is really worth it? Or why didn’t I just do an apprenticeship? Deep down I know why, but uni is stressing me! I must say though, I feel like everything happens for a reason, and being in university and living away from home is really teaching me things that I didnt know and how to learn from the mistakes that I’ve made. I can’t even say that I’m really upset that they happened. I just see it as a learning curb. Like I’m learning how to get through and live life. Not simply exist, but actually live. Something that not everybody does. Like can you honestly say that you’re living? Or are you just doing what you have to do to get through each day? If so, I can’t really say that’s living, but at the same time that’s just my opinion. What you believe and what I believe could be too completely different things, which are still both valid. I mean, free speech right?
