I wanted to write something yesterday, but couldn't think of any ideas. Then today it seems everything pointed to this topic. It started with me reading one of my favorite blogs. Then it lead to a blog a friend of mine wrote. I was thinking of starting this out with a funny poem I saw on an old postcard my parents had for Hells Canyon about The Hell You say, but I couldn't find it any where on the internet. So here it goes.
Life isn't fair. We all suffer. Things happen to all of us that we didn't plan. We work hard and sometimes it seems that work doesn't pay. That is life. It doesn't mean you should give up or quick trying. It means that if you really want it you need to keep going for it. You have to earn the good things in life. Granted some people have it easier than others. Some get parents who buy everything and some have parents who put up roadblocks. There are people who get in trouble for doing the right thing and those who get away with doing the wrong thing. It is life and it isn't a reason to give up.
Just because you do what is right doesn't mean you get a reward. There are times that when you do the right thing that you end up being punished. I told the truth to my father about being the only one who was running up and down the stairs. My father didn't believe me for until I lied. In school I got my first detention, because I sat in a desk for my reading class that someone before me wrote on. So even though I was a perfect angel at that time I still got detention without having done anything. I got suspended for several hours after school due to a guy I was dating showing up on campus and someone telling the Dean of students he was my boyfriend. I left him on the other side of the street and told him not to go on campus. He didn't listen. Thankfully I had friends who witnessed me doing this and came to my defense. I have a friend who is one of the best people I know who got in trouble for defending herself in an abusive relationship. Now she is paying for it. We all hope or think that doing the right thing means we will get praise or a prize. Unfortunately, doing the right thing doesn't mean you get a prize or praise. Sometimes problems come with it. It is how life tests us. Maybe it is a way to find out who is weak and who is strong enough to still do the right thing even after something bad happens.
No matter what happens in your life. There always is an end. The good things come to an end and the bad things will also come to an end. Just remember when the bad things are happening if you keep trying then sooner or later something good will happen. When the good things happen remember to cherish them while you are having them. Sometimes you might find that there are good things that happen during the bad. When you are having a bad day and a loved one makes you smile or holds you to comfort you that is a great thing. It means someone loves you. Don't just brush it off or forget about it. Not everyone is that lucky. Some people spend their hard times alone with no friends, no family, and no loved ones.
Just keep your head up. Keep going through the hard times. Look for something good to come out of those hard times. A lesson may need to be learned. Maybe you need to be some where to meet someone or to be there for them. We all have hard times. Sometimes it is, because we made the mistake. Then there are times the problems are large and hard to see past. There are errors made by us or other people that can hurt our lives or the ones we think we should have. I have said it before and I believe it. Everything happens for a reason. I have experienced this for myself. Whatever you are going through. However you got there. Just remember it will pass you need to keep trying. Never give up and never give up hope that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. It may take time and it may feel like it will never end, but if you keep trying to get out you will find it. Just remember use your brain to get out. Especially if your problem is being stuck in quicksand.
