Every single time I think about my future and my plan to succeed, I think about those who are faced with a system or regulations on a daily basis, and who have to hard to live.
A lot of people think the only way to succeed in life is to get a job. I guess there is nothing wrong with that, but there is something very not so right with working for someone else that just wants to enrich their wealth using my work ethic. I knew from the very beginning that if I was going to take that path it was not a choice I was making but because I had to. I knew I would have to work but I did say from the beginning, "if you can't beat them, join them". It is not simple to join them. I mean, first you have to complete a ton of paperwork, and then even after you draduate, you are hardly increasing your chances of finding a job. The mental stress and I would say at times depression can really take over when searching for jobs, but i found in some cases it helps me. Depression very well could give you the strength to either fight or give up, i choose to fight.
Negativity is everywhere and can be hard to avoid or get away from. Life brings massive obstacles and challenges to overcome every day that we are faced with, confronted by, or simply trying to ignore. While struggling with adversities, we may feel powerless and hopeless as our struggles overwhelm us. Our goals and dreams seem to float before us but may feel hazy due to our circumstances and situation, and we often second guess our worth and purpose. Sometimes it feels like the only way out is to give in to the negative sources surrounding us. However, we have to realize that we are capable and need to take this opportunity to change our lives. Though we are not going to change the negative things that affect us on a day-to-day basis, we have to try and change what we can.
Easier said than done. Everyday obligations and struggles can rob us of our health and happiness, and often we may get to the point where we feel defeated or willing to settle. It's easy to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and lose motivation and confidence. If we let these feeling overwhelm us instead of helping us, this ultimately leads to a sense of helplessness or worse, death. People go through times where they feel as if they have conquered shamefulness, so, armed with depression and unable to control negative thoughts in their lives, resort to self-harm or even to death through suicide. In these instances, they may feel alone, worthless, and irrelevant to the world around them. In reality, although we do not control other elements of our lives, we still create our own lives through decisions and actions we can take to intentionally create a better future.
