The Swings of Life

The tragedy of life for most people is that they aim only for the high phase of life, and often don’t prepare for the low phase of it, and by the time it comes ‘crashing’ on them, their life will begin to crash with it because they didn’t prepare themselves for it. Life is a roller coaster, it takes you up and down, and whether it’s in your personal life, spiritual life, marital life, finances or career, it is certain that you must experience the ‘highs and lows’ of life. It’s a good thing for people when they are going up in life, but it becomes sad and frustrating when things seem to be nose-diving in their life. It usually becomes a matter of serious concern and fear for some people when they begin to experience nose-diving situations in life. To all the people who are in this state of life, you don’t have to be worried or afraid, because God is with you even in lowly situations. Matthew 28:20 reads: “Lo I am with you always.” There is something about one’s life going up and down: it begets the gains and pains of life, the good times and bad times, the happy moments and sad moments, peak and valley like situations of life, moving fast and moving slow experiences, but where ever you find yourself in life, you just have to deal with it and advantageously manage the state of affairs that you are in, if you must continue with life, then live it victoriously. Where ever you find yourself, most especially to people who are experiencing the low phase of life now, you don’t have to give up, if you can hold on a little more  and not fall off, your life will spring up again. You cannot jump off a ride that is in motion just because you don’t like how it’s going; you will either have to stop, then come off the ride to another ride or perhaps continue riding it all the way to the end. Life is a roller coaster, sometimes it takes you up, other times down and sometimes it completely ‘levels’ you to the ground. Some people are up right now, while some are down, some people are happy, while some are crying,  some people are making money, while some are getting broke, different strokes for different folks they say. If you are climbing up in life it makes you excited, but it becomes frustrating if you are falling down. This is where and when lazy people and ‘quitters’ find it convenient and justifying to quit, and it is this quick-to-quit attitude that is making a lot of people under-achievers, failures, losers, poor, unsuccessful and living purposeless in life.
