It does get worse before it gets better
We are habitual beings. When we become accustomed to a particular behavior, we are inclined to continue doing so, even if it is detrimental to our well-being. Unfortunately, this is an inevitable reality. Throughout life, there are numerous instances of poor behaviors that have reached a point where we are compelled to change. More oftenly, we have an insatiable desire to be in a familiar and comfortable environment. It's just that we get uncomfortable when we're forced to do something out of our comfort zones.
It is worth noting that I often find myself contemplating certain phrases from the initial verse of the hymn "Sing and Be Happy" that we sang during our kindergarten years. It says, “There’s a silver lining that shines in the heavenly land. Look by faith and see it, my friend. Trust in His promises grand.” How extraordinary is the notion of a silver lining. It is so reassuring and, well, somewhat balmy. It is merely a pleasant, comfortable sensation. Particularly when our ominous cloud appears to be the sole focus. At that time, I was unable to discern the profound meaning of it. It is true that the more years and experiences one has, the more they can understand and relate to things. I was a child. and that is precisely what transpired to me. However, as I was confronted with a greater number of responsibilities over the years, I must admit that I have been unfortunate and that I have encountered numerous obstacles and challenges throughout my life, and they are still ongoing.
Difficult times are like 'Dark Clouds' and 'Silver Linings' resembles the sun rays, which is beautiful ahead. There are numerous lessons to be learned during challenging times, including the ability to endure; the key is to maintain optimism and perseverance.
A very few of my accomplishments that have been made were not always linear, nor was there ever a simple shortcut. But, I suppose that is the nature of existence. I have never been able to easily access the location I desired. Nonetheless, I am unable to assert that I have attained the summit to the extent that I can confidently declare that I have succeeded in my life. I am obligated to be ambitious and desire more, and I am unable to draw my brakes at this time. I have always found it difficult to establish a lifestyle that necessitates me to remain vigilant and attentive to my circumstances in my personal life. My destiny would be sealed if I were to indulge in my depravities, which are so extreme that I must be challenged every waking moment. Therefore, I am compelled to take all necessary measures to prevent the deterioration of the situation before it improves.
