WHEN LIFE HURTS

Life is a roller coaster ride with many peaks and valleys. Sometimes, life presents us enormous stumbling blocks that seem hard to overcome.

How do you respond to life's hurts? Do you feel life is not worth living because of hurts or pains?

You see, life is filled with ups and downs. More so, life is complicated and unfair atimes. 

I believe we have all experienced moments when we wondered if we were only here to suffer.

Hurts are unpleasant, but they are unavoidable. It is accompanied by feelings of sadness, abandonment, and betrayal, as well as heartbreak. 

Our lives are made up of the sum of our experiences. Every single moment of your life, from the minute you were born until now, has contributed to the person you've become.

In life, we all suffer emotional pain and even devastation. There are unexpected events that throw our life into disarray. 

I have my own fair share of life. I have been through a lot in my life, but the death of my mother hit me like a ton of bricks. My physical, emotional, and mental health suffered greatly as a result of my mother's death.

Life throws major hurdles at us and it hurts so much that it is almost unbearable.

Life is a lesson. Life’s hurt shape us. Focus on the lesson, not the pain and suffering.

Gold in its raw form is not desirable. But when it passes through the fire, it become desirable and glitters.  In the same vein, hurts are not to kill but to refine us.

In reality, hurt is a wake-up call that inspires you to take a new path that could lead to a greater sense of fulfillment, joy, and happiness in the long run.

You need to uncover the inner power  to overcome your hurt and you will find the glimmering hope that will propel you toward a happy existence.

Tough times don't last, only tough people do.

During difficult times, surround oneself with caring and helpful individuals. These are your people; they will be the ones to guide you through this trying time and assist you reintegrate into society.

We grow through what go through in life. Take control of your life and treasure the lessons you've learned.

Hopefully, despite the darkness, one day, you will find light because there is light at end of the tunnel.

There is an end to every trend. There is a hope of  tree if cut down that it shall sprout up again.

When you're feeling down, think on your blessings and the things you're grateful for. This should help you put your sentiments into perspective. It may even assist you in re-prioritizing and re-focusing your attention on more significant and meaningful things that will bring you more happiness and contentment in the long term.
