never give up- there's always something to live for nomatter what!

Today on my way to work around 06:45am,there was congestion along borrowdale road,commotion and as i pulled up i saw a policeman sitting on a stone busy scribbling something with people pointing towards him and after some scrutiny i realised with horror that they were pointing at a thirty-something man who was hanging from a tree right beside where the policeman was sitting!! i shuddered with shock,never before in my life have i seen anything like this.I'm used to seeing dead people only during body viewing at funerals.

what's running through my mind is why?what was going through this young man's mind as he climbed that tree and put a noose on his neck and jumped off a branch in broad daylight? what had burdened him so much that after going over all his available options he said it is better to take my life? As a result i also wish i had had an opportunity to meet this man before he committed  suicide to tell him never to give up,there is always something worth living for.Sometimes we hide our true feelings behind a fake smile,keeping up appearances to shield our broken and injured souls,we say its okay when really its not,i say its high time when you are hurt say it there and then that i didn't like what you did ,i feel betrayed,cheated,enraged,whatever it is you are feeling and let your issues be addressed.Talk to someone,write it down look for someone who cares to listen and do something about it. Feeling lonely? there are people who are willing to be your friend,who are in the same hunger for love that you are in,go to an old people's home,read a book for an orphan ,go volunteer in some purpose,get a new hobby or something and i tell you one day u will find that emptiness gone,you will find love and peace.

going through financial hardships,there are no jobs?well, create one yourself.wash someone's dirty car,cut someone's lawn or offer to do their washing,clean their windows,shine their shoes on the street,put order in their life for whatever thank you gift they can give even a meal ,a blanket,somewhere to sleep and you will find that its not such a bad world out there.Yes there are some bad elements out there but there is still some good in the world.You are needed on this planet to make a change in someone's life and yours,there is hope for your future.You have what it takes to make it in life if only you believe.

when you are at your lowest and if you really look around you,you will see that life is not as bad as you think,someone is worse off than you.take charge of your life ,tell yourself giving up is not an option and i tell you you will be a winner.there is a wise saying that says the race is not to the swift nor the victory to the strong but time and chance happens to them all.If you stop whining and blaming the things you cant change like where you were born,your skin colour,country, but start focusing on that which you can do to change your life,you will make it,your story will change for the better you will realise that dream,one step at a time,run your race,keep to your lane and stop comparing yourself to others.so instead of complaining and procrastinating start by putting some form of order in your life,take charge of your destiny and make your life journey the best and most exciting you can make it,the earth is your canvas and its you who paints it into whatever painting you want,and remember,you only have one life and we will not  leave this earth alive so better make it count. have a lovely day peeps; ruruebaby
