Have you ever stopped and asked yourself where you are with your life?

It is your life

If you have ever found yourself uttering the words “this is too much now” to anything in your life, please accept my invitation to engage you on a 5-minute journey to figuring out what makes certain things more are bearable than others. Take a deep breath, smile as you exhale, and appreciate how far you have come. This is your life, and you only have one shot at it. Live it in a way that will leave you regretting nothing at the end of your days. now answer this “Have you ever stopped and asked yourself where you are with your life?” stop and think life?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself where you are with your life?

Some things sound more and more like clichés, and the more we hear them being said, it is most probably the less we pay attention to them and ultimately disregard them. We ignore some of life’s principles may be because of how they are presented. There are times when something so simple can be made to look so difficult that we lose interest in it. How many times have we lost interest in something that will later prove to be one of the important lessons we should have held on to? As irritating as some “clichés” are, have you stopped to wonder if there is an element of truth and if this could be something that your life can benefit from? There are moments in our lives when we disregard the very things that will make us better people. There are life lessons and principles that can prevent us from finding ourselves in moments that will see us uttering words like “this is too much”. Could it have been too much had we held on to the principles? Are you aware of the principles that will see your life getting better daily? stop and think life?

This is too much NOW.

At no point should anyone invalidate what they feel is too much. The struggles and challenges we face are different, even though it might be the same struggle and challenge, we perceive it differently. Can we say the same thing about principles? We find ourselves journeying toward our desired lives, changing, and adapting to get the best out of this life. The results are pleasing to others and not so exciting to some. Are there special principles that those who get it right follow? By getting it right, I mean, who achieve what they desire. Is there anything special those who reach their goals do that the rest are not doing? How can we come to a point when we avoid saying this is too much now? There must be a way in which those who manage to get things done follow. Until when is too much too much? Stop and think life?

Reflections

Thank you for staying on this journey with me until this far. You are indeed wanting to find a way to get it right. I want to get it right all the time and the first time around. It is a time-saver, right? When last did you think or say, “this is too much” or “I am tired of this now”? Did you give yourself an opportunity to ponder on what was the cause? Which principles did you disregard because they sounded like clichés and as a result, you missed an opportunity to get things right the first time around? Is it possible to get things right the first time around when we follow the principle? How do we define good principles for ourselves?
