I know. Well, maybe I don't know all about you. But I do know something huge because I have been there and still there. On that journey. The unknown journey of life toward financial breakthrough, deep peace, and love. I know how hard it is to fail repeatedly or watch what you hoped to crash without even a little heads up.
It is always sad to be at that moment. Always has been and always will be. To feel those emotions when pounds of responsibility weigh you down like your only existence is to do its bidding. I can sense the frustration, not in you but myself also. How time flies and your age speeds off between your eyes, leaving you all alone in plain misery and exhausted from trying out different things to survive.
And, it is even harder in countries like ours. Where our leaders only care about filling up the tank in their backyard with an insane amount of gold despite the Swiss accounts in their "foreign names" and their children in the best schools that aren't in the country and also their health checked up in countries they don't govern. We not only see this, but the media is also filled with their landmarks. Going on summits no one calls their attention to and incurring debts, they never plan to pay.
We see them boasting of the millions and billions needed to furnish government houses or get chairs and tables in government offices, and we'd chuckle deeply, wear a frown, or get angry as usual. Some of us would swear both online and offline or even make caricatures of them. But, when all that anger is gone and we face our reality, it makes our knees buckle beneath us seeing how many hours we had to sacrifice everyday forgoing all personal needs to just put a single meal on the table.
Every day, we hustle away from our dreams with our certificates under the dust of the bed just to survive the day. Not that it is what we wanted but what we are faced with. To live in the country is expensive and to leave the country is another expense on its own , especially when no other country wants you near their border.
Seeing these things kills every positive feeling deep within one's heart. We watch in silence as the spark in our heart wanes and dies off with no means of resurrection. Then we become programmed robots with no thoughts of our own, and life becomes a living hell.
I know all these are tiring, and giving up seems fair, but do not let that be an option. Find it! That long lost spark. Light it up with rainbows and keep grinding. I know it is hard and extremely terrifying hitting that bottom rock again, but remember, it only takes a little light to fill up a dark room. I know not everyone will be successful. That's reality, but don't let anyone, not even “life” itself dictate where you'll stand tomorrow.
Own your future through every storm, sun, and rain. Keep moving. Work smart, build strong connections, and be genuine. You'll find the true song to your rhythm, and with this, I bring in the sound of music #threetunestuesday by @ablaze up your feed. Have fun listening in.

Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
