Motivation: When Life is Unfair

Have you ever fell down and stood up only to fall over worse than before? Are your problems bigger than the Great Wall of China? Maybe you’ve had enough already that you officially declared to yourself that life sucks?

Life can really be unfair sometimes. But, believe it or not, it’s got nothing against you. That’s just how life goes, nothing personal. Disappointments, sadness, confusion, heartaches – these are all necessary for us to grow and be the person we're meant to be. I know that sounds cheesy but that's because it's true. Everything happens for us - to test our character or to shape it, or both. 

Maybe right now, things may seem like it doesn’t make sense at all and you’ve got questions up in your head that no one’s capable of answering. It doesn’t matter. Life goes on without you figuring it all out. So breathe like you’ve never known oxygen before and stop analyzing every little happenings in your life. Just let it be. Allow life to take you where it wants – sometimes submission takes more courage than resistance. Who knows, maybe life has been meaning to direct you somewhere you’re going to love. Maybe being occasionally unfair is just what it takes to push you further than you would yourself.

It isn't easy to look at the brighter side when everything around you is too murky. I know. I completely sympathize with you right there. It's fine to feel weak. It's okay to shout, cry or throw anything you could get with your hands. Just make sure you'll later wipe up your tears, reapply your mascara and pick up your mess, including yourself. Pick yourself up and stand up taller than you used to. Sometimes we might feel like we're sitting on our own crap - that's all right as long as you don't get too comfortable with it. You can rest right there for a while until you're so grossed out that you can't take it anymore. When you're being pushed to your presumed limits, that's when you become stronger. That's when you learn to befriend the unfairness of life and realize it's supposed to work for your advantage.

Whatever it is you’re going through right now, it is sent to you for a reason. It is because God loves you way more than you could ever understand. Have faith in Him.
