Life is full of ups and downs, usually interlaced with long normals; this blog is about being down.
Sometimes, the downs are longer and stronger - to the point where it can be unbearable. The pain, the negativity, the loss, the failure, the difficulty, the problem; well, it’s just overwhelming. The world around you seems to collapse, everything becomes pitch dark. Not everybody goes through this and the ones who do, know how depressing it can be. You can feel quite alone, right in the midst of all the people around you.
All of what is mentioned above is closely related to a person’s thought process and psyche. The person might feel lost, might feel broken and here is what is important for the person - the grit, the strength, the resilience, the attitude, the fighting spirit. It is very easy to give up in difficult circumstances, but not many realize it is equally easy to pick yourself up and say ‘No’ to giving up. All you need is a little bit of courage, a little bit of support, a little bit of care, a little bit of love, a little bit of tenacity and a lot of “no to giving up”. The more you say “No” to giving up, the easier it is to bounce back. Probably, just ask a simple question to yourself - “How can I just give up and not fight it out?”.
The life we get is a blessing and it is important to realize the gift, the opportunity we get in the form of time at our disposal. It’s not the end of the world and there are thousand things that can be done - it just needs a bit of application, a bit of discipline, a bit of guidance, a bit of perseverance, in short, a lot of belief, a lot of motivation and a lot of drive.
Be the light that someone needs to see at the end of the tunnel and you would have helped someone overcome “being down”.
