At your lowest, you will see the true faces of people around you
True to the title, the face of everyone will be revealed to you at your lowest time. It's the little gestures from people around, that will teach you a thousand lessons. I am in a similar situation, wherein I find it hard to pull myself back as I am a few years before. The coherent events and incidents in my life have put me in this place. But yet solving all the puzzles that have been thrown at me one by one. I need great strength and support to move mountains, some give their hands to move it and some hands I have to remove voluntarily to keep myself moving
There were two kinds of people, some will pat you and keep pushing you to the next level and some will pat and keep pushing you back. If you aren’t in a position to identify them, you will be in great trouble of losing yourself.
Those little gestures matter a lot, those little messages in your inbox, those sorries, those enquiries “Are you ok” though not given any rewards was worth when being heard from your closest people. when you are at the lowest. The words “ I am there for you”, “let’s do it together”, and “you can” from my dear husband, were the reason I am here still alive. He is my biggest support system and he is there with me when I experienced the heights of Happiness and when days I can’t control those tears from rolling out without speaking a word. When you have someone like this in your life who supports you no matter what may be the situation, you still can smile with all the broken pieces.
As you sow, so you reap. Obviously, my expectation towards others is what they expect from me as well. But, let me take a break before I give it back because I even lag energy for those little things. Let me build back my energy and give it back fuller.
I don’t know you, I don’t know what you are going through, maybe you hit rock bottom, or maybe you’re at the lowest point of your life. Just like the song, if it doesn’t kill you, it does make you stronger. It shapes your character, it teaches you mental toughness. And I think you’ll look back at all those incidents where you thought that was the lowest point of your life. What were those worst moments, it could be a tragedy, it could be financed, it could be you lose someone very close, But if you look back at those incidents, it would teach you something about people, it would teach you something about the world, it would teach something about yourself. And, if you learn from that and you take those lessons, and you applied that in your life, it would be one of the moments that shapes your life, it creates you who you are.
So, if you are at the lowest point in your life, I want you to know, tough times don’t last, they don’t. I know it feels like an eternity, it feels like oh my god, every minute, every hour, every day lasts longer. But tough times don’t last, tough people do.
No matter what, I forced myself to take one small step forward every day even if I didn’t feel like it.
Keep moving
