When life pushes you back you push back harder

When you feel uninspired and spirit less…

When you feel like everything and everyone is working against you…

When you feel tired and your mind is filled with excuses…

When you feel like the powers above have forsaken you…

When you feel like your soul is too heavy a burden to carry and you quiver with fear at every moment…

When you feel like the world has forgotten you…

When you feel like you are haunted by every mistake you have ever made…

When you feel suffocated by every bad decision you have made…

When you feel like time is flying and you can’t control it…

When you feel like your ship has sailed and want to call it a day…

When you feel like your steps that were once confident and quick have slowed down…

When you look at yourself in the mirror and don’t like what you see…

When you feel life is unfair and it’s getting you down…

When you feel life has become blurry…

When you feel like the climb to the top is too tough and your legs and heart don’t comply…

When you feel like you have been knocked down too often and don’t want to get up…

When you feel like you have been left behind and can only watch as others pass you by…

When you feel like you have no victories to celebrate…

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

…You hug yourself first…shower yourself with love…let the emotions flow through you…

…You tell yourself it’s never ever too late to hit refresh and replay…

…You adjust your focus, take it one step at a time and keep going…

…You refuse to wallow in self-pity and play a victim…

…You refuse to be ruled by fear and guilt…

…You refuse to quit…

…You refuse to let your yesterday overwhelm your today and tomorrow…

…You refuse to compare yourself with others and let out your inner unique self…

…You refuse to take things people say personally…

…You refuse to water yourself down to fit in…

…You step out of the shadows and face the sunshine…

…You unwrinkle your mind and soul…

And if nothing works…

…You slap yourself hard, smell the coffee and get on with the amazing life you have been blessed with…

When life pushes you back you push back harder.
