So life ain't what you thought it would be?

So your relationship has failed (again), you got fired/layed off from your job, your kids are off the chains and you just don't give a....well you get the point. Sometimes life seems 2 throw us all a curve ball or three from time to time and it seems insurmountable. Personally, I recall a time when I was flat out uncertain about the future of my living conditions. I was living in a ghetto-ish apartment on the East side of napp. I can not express how bad the living conditions were over there. I moved there because I was waiting to clear up my credit to qualify for a mortgage. I only needed 4 months but it seemed like an eternity.
During this time, I was working a full time and a part time job and going to school full time, not to mention being a full time single dad to my two young daughters which meant I had little free time and zero for my social life. N.E. ways, I remember coming back home late from my long day only to find my apartment had been completely robbed. Of course I didn't have renters insurance (that won't happen again) I felt so helpless and angry at the same time. I wanted who ever did this to pay and be held accountable. I sat there in the middle of the room for hours thinking Y me.................
I later embraced that life ain't what I thought it would be but it still ain't that bad. I realized that I had to change my thinking in order to change my future and so does all the victims that I mentioned in the first sentence. When we think about it, we as humans have a tendency to let our past memories hold our present and future life's hostage. With this new thinking I realized that me getting robbed was just one of those things that regularly happens and it was just my turn. After all I moved to the ghetto on my own free will! I replaced all the lost stuff with better things and got a brand new house built and I felt better about life. So the long and short of this is.....When we fall down we have two options, either stay down and learn to crawl really well or get the freak back up and keep it moving. Of course it is easier said than done, but well worth the effort.
I am not where I want to be in life, I would love to have a job that I love and good at, a loving family and that new 2010 Buick La Cross, but that just means I got somethings to work on and look forward to. I decided a while ago, no matter what curves life throws at me, I won't give up.

Ward up yall.....
