SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO GIVE UP

SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO GIVE UP

Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what it appears to be.

Doesn't make sense right?

There are so many, many things in life that just don’t make sense, and life itself at times does not make sense.

And in order to find sense and logic in things, we get so caught up, that we want to give up, because your definition of  what life should be does not match reality.

The biggest hitch that keeps us in that vicious circle is the question WHY?

Why did this happen to me?

I worked so hard, Why did I not get that job?

Why did he leave me?

Why do my parents not understand me?

Why? Why? Why?

We get so stuck in the issue, in the problem, or just in a state, and trying to make sense of it by asking why doesn’t ever help. It’s like having a puzzle with different pieces that don’t fit together.

And at other unfortunate times, we just feel, what is really the point of going on, or living?

This is the most defeating yet the most crucial moment. No matter how big the problem may be, that moment when you wan to give up on your life

STOP. 

Take a moment. And it may not make any sense to you but keep repeating

Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what it appears to be.

Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what it appears to be.

Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what it appears to be.

Keep doing this till the feeling of giving up lightens.

What I would like to bring to you attention here my dear friend, that we only look at things from our limited perspective, from the feeling of hopelessness, and despair. It is not like that. Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be and yet nothing is opposite of what it appears to be in our eyes.

Give yourself, the situation the universe some TIME, and by time i don't mean days on end. Its that moment when you want to end everything, engulfed in those feelings, give yourself a little more time. I say this because that feeling of powerlessness and pity WILL PASS. Because its nothing but just a feeling, and feelings can change. Moments can change, nothing is forever. 

so when you are engulfed with this feeling of hopelessness, of wanting to give up, of throwing in the towel?

Keep saying

Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what it appears to be.

While you say that, you have already started to change the energy of the situation. You have already started to make a different choice. And this choice is what will create a different reality for you.

Choice Creates

BE YOU. BE TRUE. BE AWESOME
