Living Through the Cycle of Existence
Silhouette against the morning sun, as if shielding rays of light from the divine, I find myself overcoming every single dilemma. So, did I manage to, or did I totally overshadow it? This is what I have to say.
I am human too. I have made mistakes, I have faltered, I have fumbled, and I am no God. I have insecurities, and I don’t permit illegality.
At some point in my life, I used to think that I was not doing enough. Every input looked like an unending cycle, which I think it is. I have been trying for a long time to get to college to study, but all my efforts failed.
Probably, my input isn’t enough. Still, I know that one day, I will get there. At some point in my life, my friends tried to tell me that what I am after is bigger than me. But deep within me lies courage, faith, and determination. I am unwavering in my thinking.
What if all I need is a miracle to pass this stage of my life? Every time I get frustrated and tired because I haven’t gotten all I needed, I don’t see it as a weakness. In fact, it is a weapon—an instrument of war. 🔪
The greatest risk in life is never to take a risk at all. Risk is what makes us who we are. Our ability to take risks says a lot about who we are. As a believer, I am not ready to give up.
My religion is another reason for my strength. I think about how Jesus didn’t give up on the cross—who am I to give up?
Moving on, I have been busy with research and many other things. Research takes my time, but it is worth it. I have also been reading books, literature, and much more to focus on my goals.
Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.
That’s the cycle—that’s what someone gets tired of doing. But encourage yourself in what you do. There is no magic anywhere. And for each one, teach one.
Why do I think life is an unending cycle?
I think life is an unending cycle because every stage is a cycle; even our whole existence is a cycle. We came to the world with nothing, and we will go back with nothing. For some the cycle is sleep, work, sleep, work... etc. And for some the cycle is sleep work and pray... Riches don't mean the cycle will end. Wealth doesn't end the cycle.
In conclusion, don't get tired of doing it; don't get tired of life; don't commit suicide; and don't be too hard on yourself. Forgive and forget. I know of things that I can't forget, but I prefer not to brood over them 'cause it's not gonna lead me anywhere. The deeds have been done. If you are a believer like I am, why don't you put yourself in prayers? Spirituality over carnality.
Thanks.
I am with you. Jesus went through all that he did, in order to save humanity. He could have given up when they struck him with whips, or when they nailed him, or even when they told him to trek with the heavy cross, but he didn't. His strength is worthy of emulation.
Thanks for the wonderful compliment! I really appreciate your response.
