One thing I have come to understand over time in life is that there’s always going to be a problem. You can never escape that. Always set your mind ready for anything that might come your way. Not because you’re a negative-minded person, but because you’re meant to always expect the worst out of life. It’s better to be prepared at all times so as not to be caught unaware.
The earlier you get prepared for war, the fewer chances you get to never be caught unaware. As we all know, we literally cannot do life without people. We would always have one person we would run to at the end of the day, in most cases when we faced some life problems. Be it your mentor, role models, friends, family, etc.
But lately, for me personally, my 911 has turned out to be God. Because he’s literally the only person who’s always ready to listen and be of helping hands at all times. As human beings, there’s a higher tendency for people to get tired of coming to your rescue at all times. Not because they don’t love you, but because it’s just a feeling that comes with being a human being.
It’s a natural human feeling. I’m literally not saying this because I don’t have people to talk to or run to when I’m in a hard phase of life. No, that’s far from it. I’ve just gotten to understand that part of humans. And knowing this has only helped me to set boundaries on how I run to people for help, and it has also helped me understand that people also get tired of helping others in most cases.
It only takes God’s help for you to see someone who never gets tired of coming through. Trust me, any individual that does get tired of coming through for you as a person is a true God-sent individual. I’ve honestly come to realize that everyone is going through a lot. Especially in this period of time. It only takes a person with a heart of gold to come through for you in this timeframe.
Even when they are in need of help themselves, despite that, they still come through. That's nothing but love. I really do not want to be a burden to anyone. A lot has been going on at my end, to be very honest, but then, sometimes, you really don’t want to talk or burden people with your own problems. Either because you’re scared of getting snitched on at the end of the day, or you’re literally scared of being judged by them instead of getting a solution or being comforted by them, or you’re afraid of getting them worried along the line.
Shoutout to the real ones who are always there for me and always come genuinely with no expectation at the end of the day. I’ve literally got some couples of friends and also family members that are always ready to listen or talk to me about what’s going on in my life. . But sometimes, I just don’t want to bother anyone with whatever is going on with me. I always have the belief that the storm is all going to be over someday, so why panic so much? Smiles! I’ve been trusting God to do his thing because he has never for once failed me, even till this very point in my life.
He’s been faithful from ages past and he’s not going to let me down now. He has always come through, and I’ve seemed to trust the process of what he’s doing with me with no doubt whatsoever. I’ve learned to keep my calm at all times. I know somehow, someday, he’s going to come through. He’s never going to watch me fight all these battles alone because he’s always with me, just like my name states, Emmanuel.
IN SUMMMARY
We all have different ways of handling the issues we face. But for me, I just stay calm as the chill guy that I am, trust the process, and panic not. Because getting worried of the situation on ground is only going to cause more harm to me and my mental health. Nothing kills a man faster than the weight of his own thoughts. Stay calm! Don’t ever stress over things that are out of your control.
Secure your peace at all costs, and in the end, give all your worries and concerns to him because he cares about you. GOD OVER EVERYTHING 🕊️❤️. Thank you for taking the time to go through my content.
