It has come to my attention, and i blame Brian Cox wholly for giving me a big wake up call to how small and irrelevant our life is compared to the rest of the insanely massive universe, that we are like a colony of ants running around on this crazy planet, trying desperately to build ourselves a life of joy!
I have also come to realise that we are all just crazy people trying desperately to hold on to our sanity, and the people who openly express their madness are just more sensitive to the pressures life throws at us. After all, how can we not feel a little like we're 'losing it' with the amount of stress we deal with on a daily basis. And some just find it easier than others to adjust to this fast paced lifestyle we have, particularly in western societies.
We deal with financial problems that can some times cause us to crash so hard we don't know how to keep moving forward, Illness some times a cold or flu, other times serious and life threatening, relationship problems, be it with in couples, friends, family or business, failing to achieve our wants and goals after working very hard to get there, death.. when its some one close to us, and it happens to everyone, it chills you to your core, a sort of pain that never leaves you, to name just a few these are just some of the stresses we deal with on a daily basis. How on earth do we cope?
I have been thinking how hard life is, how some times i feel i can relate to lost people more than people who have their shit together, as they express a kind of honesty that is rare. In people who don't know where to go or what they are doing, I see myself, But you can't forever stare at your reflection, life happens, you have to deal with it and keep moving forward. After all, if you crash into a financial wall... you realise you are at the bottom, you have two choices, stay there or start climbing back up the ladder. If some one is ill, you appreciate them and life a whole lot more when they are better, one of liefs most wonderful and free gifts, If a person doesn't recover and the heart ache comes from losing some one close, the pain reminds you of how special that person was, memories you will carry with you through life that are so much more precious than any photographs, relationship problems come and go, either you work through and become stronger and happier or you leave the relationship having learned some healthy lessons to help move you forward, wiser and clearer in your next relationship, If you have worked hard to achieve your goals and dreams, either you get there or you don't, either way you haven't failed, to have a dream is better than to have no dreams at all and to have a goal is healthy, it helps keep you moving forward through this tricky thing called life.
In every hardship we experience on a daily basis there are hidden gifts, lessons and some times beauty we only need to open our eyes and hearts to see.
