The resilience’s

Life is a marble, where you are always being told to walk one way and walk another. But we are all just trying to get by and figure it out or in most cases learning from those before us. There’s always a lot of talk going on from the older generation pushing on us to do more while saying we're lazy. Below them, it’s our generation hardening each other left and right saying to quit this and to quit that, but never can quite figure out the next steps of our life. Not to mention feeling like you’re getting old quickly when you have years and months to live through.

I used to tell myself every day that I need to be doing more when in fact sometimes all I need to be doing is taking a step back. In life, it’s important to take steps forward and even back. My mom and dad used to tell me to take a break before I hurt myself and that’s so important today.

I get it though, for many people we are just trying to uplift our careers and make the most of ourselves. We go to extremes to find an opportunity; especially when it seems so easy to make 6 or even 7 figures these days. I’ve been wanting to do the same, from applications to interviews, from daily posting to month-long poetry work. But what I had to finally do is take a step back from it all to read a book or go lift weights. I put it all behind me and trusted myself for one moment to go lift weights and put all that energy towards something I knew wouldn’t say anything at all but be still in the moment.

When you're being resilient in life and trying to break generational chains and or developing yourself in the ways everybody wants you to do, remember that you got one life. Don’t go listening to everybody who rants to you, and don’t follow the crowd, but be yourself and in time it will all come true for what is meant for you to do in life.
