Wisdom

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Such a hard thing to do; but sometimes you just have to let it be. Let things run their course and just deal with it. Blunt (yes) but the only way to explain it, that’s how life is sometimes.

Their are a lot of people who come to me for advice from time to time. I’m usually pretty good with it, but sometimes I just have nothing very comforting or constructive to tell them. That’s when I pull out the “it will all work out, you just have to wait”. It may sound like I am giving up, but when you can’t do anything about a situation you just have to let me be. What other choice do you really have? Mope forever? Lock yourself in a closet? Don’t let one (or 10 for that matter) thing, big or small, stop you from moving forward. A delay is normal but completely letting something bring you down isn’t healthy. I know when I’m really sick or in a lot of pain (mental or physical) I barely remember what normal feels like. Looking on the bright side is the toughest when all you see around you is fog. At that point their might not be a bright side. The sun might seem like its gone, but you always have it with you. In life there are those simple moments: a hug from a family member, a beautiful emotion you felt, the prettiest spring day you can remember or a fun day out with friends. Recalling those events or feelings turn you into your very own bright side and you can never forget that.

The best and worst days of my life are the ones that are most vivid in my memory. The more extreme the more it sticks. Honestly, in some ways I like that I remember the worst ones. I can analyze them, learn from them, and try to prevent them from happening to me again and anyone else in a similar situation. All in all, life…is life, and that’s just the way it has to be. All the hard times are tests, no matter what you HAVE to pass. Know that you aren’t perfect and sometimes not as strong as you wish you were. Life won’t give you an A for effort, but remember that a C is passing so don’t give up on yourself.

Down but not out
