Hard Times

Many times throughout the years of my adulthood, have I come to face many challenges, trials, tests, and struggles. Some were conquered, some were won, some were lost, some were failed, and some of those hard times have still yet to be overcame. Many still in the process of completion and to be brought closure.

Over time I’ve come to discover that many things in life take and require a longer period of time to be accomplished or even to manifest in ones life. Having patience, the strength to endure, a willingness to forgive and an understanding/awareness of that for which you can not control, will lead you to your greatest success.

We all face hard times and with that being so we should look to one another. Call upon one another and unite through such times. The idea of being alone in this world is simply subject to ones self perception of loneliness. Ask for help, reach out for help, lead other to ask for help and accept help. Know that you can not do everything by yourself. It is foolish to think that you’re a one person army, a lone wolf, one man team or whatever it is that one allows one to think all tasks in life are accomplishable by themselves.

One person can change the world but the world is full of many people. One person attempting to change the world is an act of reaching out to the world, with the purpose of helping others navigate through that change. Try your best to avoid selfishness, singularity, superiority, or superstition. Trust in those whom you surround yourself with. Stay true to yourself and stay true to your family, friends, and loved ones. They will be your greatest supporters in your time of need and especially through Hard Times.
