Life is a Classroom.

I was driving to my office this morning, thinking about some of the latest events that has happened in my life and that has pulled me down for a long while there.

The experience I had gone through just a couple of months ago, brought back feelings that I believed I was never to experience again in this lifetime. But noneless here I am, broken, hurt, humiliated, resting my face flat on the bottom of the whole I got myself in, feeling so frail that even the thought of standing up made my body ache inside.

The radio was playing (as always) and a song came on - the lyrics held my attention and then something just clicked: life is much more than our eyes can see and there is so many great reasons to be happy and not let obstacles to drawn us down....this is how the lyrics went:

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it's more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what our eyes are seeing
You will find your way

So true, we all go through ups and downs in life, it becomes harder to have the downs when you have learned what the ups mean, however this same knowledge on the other token, should be the strenght that pulls you up, to stand up straight, to look right ahead and continue to believe on things you believed.

Cruel, selfish and insensitive people are all around, don't ever change your values and beliefs because they show you how decieving and unescrupulous a person can be. In moments like this it's ok to feel down, to hurt and temporarily loose faith in humanity. Just let it go, step back and evaluate the situation.

Don't duel too much on what has hapopened, time comes that we just have to close the book behind, recognize that these people have been deceiving themselves much more than they have decived you and look ahead.  Forget about having closure, make the closure with your own hands, not why or because of the other person, think about you and think all the reason why you shouldn't hang around anymore.  

Get closer and surround yourself with the ones you care about and truly cares about you. Their love for you will make everything to be fine again. Love is always worth, and it is a powerfull energy that keeps us going like the duracell bunny.
Have a great day!
