Finding Zeal in Life Blog Challenge #3
Finding zeal
in life
Your life is
short. It may sometimes feel like you live and then all of a sudden, your life
is coming to an end. There is no doubt that there are going to be a mix of both
good and hard times in your life. It is a fact that no one’s life is perfect,
and that struggle is universal. Our coping mechanisms and the way we structure
ourselves to deal with hardship may be different, but we all struggle. We all
struggle with things that may seem petty or simple to the person on the outside
looking in. They may think that we are being overly dramatic or silly when we
fuss over the slight things, but that’s the whole idea. Someone else can not
jump into our heads and measure the intensity of our sadness or anxiety.
How we
measure it and how we decide to cope with it is up to us and us only. Some of
us may even decide to seek therapy despite having solid support systems. This
does not mean that we do not trust our support systems, however. It just means
that we need someone to talk to who is not invested in our lives so deeply and
has no strings attached.
Sometimes it
is easier to talk to someone who does not have any bearing or consequence in
our lives. It is sometimes easier to be honest knowing that they may not judge
as harshly. Coping with problems and moving beyond them takes both time and
patience. However, once you move beyond them, you begin the process of really
appreciating your life for what it is. This means giving thanks for all things
in your life, both small and not so small. It means appreciating your friends
and family despite their flaws and shortcomings.
This means
appreciating the beauty surrounding us in the outside world. It means
appreciating both the sunset and sunrise. It means appreciating the silence in
the dead of the early morning, which gives you time to think and reflect on how
you would like for the day upon you to be. You choose your attitude towards
life in the end. Make sure to choose wisely and try your best to conquer both
the darkness and the light.
