Survival

Ghandi said, "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." I am not surrounded by the weak. Every person I am around daily and/or have a personal relationship with are the strongest people in my eyes. I see my family and friends suffer from all types of hardships on a daily basis including myself. I learn from their experiences and hardships and the only thing that keeps being constant is no matter how bad it looks, we must stay humble and thankful for everything that is still right.

So many times as humans, I noticed that we are constant complainers. For example, we complain about our jobs, the gas prices, the economy, and how everything is so expensive now, but we don't ever take the time to say at least I have a job, at least I have a car and I can still put gas in my car, and I have somewhere to lay my head. It's the little things that we take for granted but don't you realize that you could be homeless somewhere under a bridge asking for change to grab a bite to eat? Most people are closer to that point than we realize it, but do we take the time to appreciate that we aren't?

The one thing that we must realize as a whole people that there is NOTHING constant in this world. Whether it be good or bad. At this point, we should expect change if nothing else because change is almost guaranteed to happen. Personally, I hate change. I prefer to be steady and know exactly what is going to happen next. I'm a planner but I cannot control the universe and her reserved given right to create chaos and/or peace all at once. 

Now I could go down a list of things that are wrong in my life. It seems as if I have more bad going on than good, but I know that can't possibly be true, I'm just not looking for the good hard enough. I suggest you to free yourself of the negative thoughts. Yes, I am not doubting that it may be bad in your life right now. I know we as people go through a lot but I also know that you have something you could be equally thankful for. That's where you find your strength and where you fall in between for your weak or strong classification. You may have the world in front of you, but you may see everything crumbling and this is where you easily fall into being weak. The person who has nothing but is willing to continue to preservere is the strongest person.

Preserverance is easier said than done though but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There is no time frame on how long you'll have to hold on, but understand that it'll all be worth it in the end. Now remember life is about Eat (grind/hustle), Pray (God), & Love (People/Family) and only the Strong Survives. Be blessed!
