Life is like a roller-coaster with ups, downs, twists and turns. We go along for the riding knowing it will stop, but when? Now when you go to a amusement park and get on a roller-coaster, you get excited and nervous at the same time. You get on the ride, and it starts out okay then it gets faster with the ups and downs, twists and turns. What is the first thing you do? You hold on. Your not going to jump off in the middle of it, Your going to hold on..Tight.
Yes you will let out a scream or two, or three whichever but you hold on. It will eventually stop. That is how life is. Part of the ride can be smooth sailing, other parts are scary. But it is okay. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
We live once. Only once. It seems like a long time but it really isn't. What are things you want to accomplish and do before the ride is over? Do you want to spend the whole ride screaming and wondering when is it over, or would you rather hold on for the ride and make the most for it. Through different struggles in my life, I've had to ask myself that exact question. From time to time I lose sight in what I really want, then I have to bring myself back and remember- I'll never know when this ride is over. Life can be very discouraging. We get caught up in our jobs, friends, other people's problems and we lose sight to what is most important to us. Now I don't know about you, But I don't like going on rides alone. Luckily we are never alone. God is beside us. Holding on with us, and helping us.
One of the most important things I have learned in my life, Is to never lose sight in the most important things. Like the famous saying goes "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"
How true is that? Take life by the rails and make the most of it. It will be full of tears, laughter, smiles, grumpy faces, screams. The list could go on. On most rides, there is a camera at a certain point that will take your picture, which you can purchase after you get off the roller-coaster. If you think about it, we have those certain cameras set up in certain parts of our lives. It snaps and becomes a memory. Whether it is something we want to forget or remember, it shows us we made it through that certain part of our ride. If its negative turn it into a learning experience. If it is positive, cherish it and remember it for the big drops in life. Everything we do serves as a purpose. It is like one big circle. We chose to do this, which leads to this.
How things may be going right now, doesn't mean it will always be like this. You have to give it time. Always remember "FAITH" That has gotten me through so much in my life. Cause I tried to remember that things will get better. They have to. But if life was perfect with no hardships, honestly what fun would it be? How would we learn and go? How would we better ourselves? How would we develop qualities? If life was just a ride with none of that, I'm sorry but that doesn't sound like a ride I'd want to go on. Yes my struggles effect me and people around me, but it has also made me who I'am today. It has given me a chance to teach my children and others that no matter how crazy the ride is, Everything will be okay. I'll be able to get off this ride of life and know I did everything I could to make it worth wild.
Just hold on, what is the fun of jumping off before it stops? Or giving up? It's not.
