Life will come at you.

Mentally, you may doubt the sanity of your mind, you will stress over what could have been, you will have to bring solutions to situations you didn’t foresee. You may lack ideas for that business you wanted to grow, or the career path you want to take. The mental exhaustion that no one helps you get through. It will test the limits of your resolve.

Spiritually, it will test your walk with your creator, the extent to which you believe, the depth of your faith, the strength of your foundation. It will shake you from limb to limb, give you so many reasons to ask ‘why, when, and how’. Will you practice what you preach?

Emotionally, you might love and not get loved in return, you might love less and hurt those who could’ve made your life so much more beautiful. You might never reveal how difficult it has been for you to heal and even though you smile everyday to shield the hurt, your heart bleeds. How much hurt can you take? And how much love can you give?

Physically, you will be exhausted. Getting up everyday just because you have to show up even when you’re empty. How determined are you to put one foot in front of the other. That hug that says “it’s alright” may or may not come.

Life is an interesting concept, the individualised realities even though we may be doing the exact same thing.

Life will come at you, show up and don’t give up.

How are you mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically?
