Life

Oftentimes we are so caught up with the mundane things in life, we do not stop and think about the well-being of ourselves and the people we love. Navigating life and all the challenges you may face can be overwhelming for sure. Giving up is not an option. Keep moving forward with gusto and perseverance. Life is filled with obstacles and challenges, and how you overcome and cope with it determines your journey and path you take in life. It is important to have faith in yourself and your individual abilities. Please do not take life for granted. As someone who faced death and lived to talk about, I can say that life is so precious, and we are all here for a flash in time. I realized this only after I had my near-death experience when my heart stopped, a few times. I am grateful to the doctors for saving my life and giving me a second chance at life. Although the overall experience of impending death, and the uncertainty that came with it scared me, it also allowed me to reevaluate all aspects of my life. There comes a time in life when you start to think about how much life has changed. You wonder if you would have done something different, and maybe your life would be better or a little different. No matter how much you wish for a better life, it comes down to the choices you make that ultimately direct the path you take.

I live by a simple philosophy for life, if life sucks, deal with it, and if shit happens, clean it up. Be grateful that you have this life, no matter the obstacles and challenges you may face, because it only makes you stronger. Just do your best, be your best and always try your best always. Life will continue to test you, even if you think you have had enough. The challenges will make you question every aspect of your life. Life may be filled with uncertainty at times, but nonetheless, create a positive mindset that will surely empower all aspects of your life. I had to learn this through many trials, trying to remain positive while the odds are stacked against you is no easy task. Life lessons tend to be the best lessons after all. It is best to take heed of these lessons, however big or small, and consider this your best teacher in life. As you face all your tests in life, remind yourself that you are stronger than you think you are. Keep in mind, your courage will dictate your future while your survival will enable you the strength to overcome. If for some reason you take the wrong road in life, always remember you can take the next exit towards a better path in life.
