Keep Going

“If you are going through hell, keep going” -Winston S. Churchill

Life is often full of well-known responsibilities and unexpected circumstances, creating a very complicated schedule for every individual. Whether it is college or work, we all can have tough schedules at time, making us feel stressed and overwhelmed. No matter what you have going on in your life, we have to keep going.

Although there are moments in our life where we feel overwhelmed and want to give up, we must take into account a few things. We are in a better position now than we would have been fifty years ago. We have the opportunities available to us because of our parents’ hard work and dedication. Giving up would not only disappoint those who worked so hard to get us here, but it would make their hard work be for nothing. Before you decide whether you will carry on or not, take into account all the work that you took or others took to get you to where you are today.

Another thing that we must take into account is that our lives could be much different. In many countries, people must walk miles everyday simply to get water whereas we are able to go to the store and buy water. In some more developed countries, individuals only make around 30$ per month which is drastically less than most people in developed countries. So, rather than giving up due to the things in our life, we should be thankful for what we have and push ourselves to not settle for anything less than our full potential because other’s don’t have that opportunity.

Overall, we should push ourselves to do our best and never settle for less. By pushing ourselves to reach our greatest potential, we can do more than we ever imagined. If you ever lose hope in yourself, know that I believe in you and so do many other people in your life. We can push through whatever struggles together and reach the other side, but we must keep going.

Start Now

“You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose” -Arnold Bennett

It is currently the time of the year where New Year’s Resolutions begin to fade as the intricacies of everyday life pull our attention away from the personal goals that we set for ourselves at the start of the new year. I am here to tell you that it is never too early, nor too late to begin a change.

Many people wait until New Year’s to commit themselves to a change that will effect the rest of their life. This common misconception has fooled many since the conception of New Year’s Resolutions. However, since there is no better time then the present, it is important to understand that any change you would like to make in your everyday life, whether it be for your physical, psychological, or spiritual health, the most beneficial time to introduce that change would be immediately.

Throughout the year, there are many new things that begin their journey in the world. For example, in spring, many plants begin their life outside of the soil. In the summer, many new relationships arise as people venture outside their comfort zones to avoid summertime boredom. In the fall, an entirely new array of colors appear throughout nature, providing a proper change in perspective. In the winter, all of those Christmas decorations that people dread emerge, spreading holiday cheer and holiday dread. It is for all these reasons that anytime is the perfect time to begin something new, even if you aren’t quite sure what exactly you want to start.

If you enjoy to write, you can start a blog (like I did). If you enjoy painting, grab a paintbrush. If you need to lose weight, research a diet. If you are not content with any part of your life, make that change. The human being does not live forever, meaning that we must embrace our curiosity, follow our dreams, venture as far as you wish because if you do, your life will feel much more fulfilled than if you didn’t. Take that step. Take that leap. Take that plunge into the unknown and discover more about yourself and about the world around you than any textbook or teacher could ever explain.
