You are not alone

You are not alone

If life is a like a roulette wheel, you can’t choose what position you are placed in. But you can work yourself into a place. If you want it bad enough, you can do it. That has always been a fact of life. You may not get it perfect first time, although you want to, but you will get to where you want to be. 

Life contains a lot of try and fail experiments, you may fail a million times but it only takes one second to change and a doorway will open in which you can succeed. Never stop chasing that dream, because you never know. And if you don’t try, you’ll never know. So don’t give up at the first hurdle, because it only takes a minute change to change everything. 

Though you may not see it on someone’s face, everyone is dodging bullets and climbing over hurdles. You are not alone, although there are a lot of instances when that may seem the case. Seem is an extravagant word, because when something seems to be the case it’s blurry. It means it’s not for sure, it may well be that way but it’s not definite. I looked it up in the dictionary and it’s definition is:  to give the impression of being; appear, to appear to one's own opinion or, to appear to be true, probable, or evident or to appear to exist. It’s just how something appears to you. And just because you don’t see anyone else hurting, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

You will probably find it drains your energy!  You have to deal with confusion, your own, and you may have to deal with other people’s, anxieties.  You may find yourself giving out lots of your energy in support of others.  But some people seem to take just a little too much – more than you can afford to give if you are going to stay fit and cope with all that might be ahead of you. We all feel particularly insecure in the middle of life changes.  But energy drainers are usually people who are insecure and negative in their everyday life!   Quite often they find it difficult to tolerate their own company.
