It Can Be A Lonely Road Sometimes... But You're Not Alone

The breaking point in our lives is not really what others see or feel, but what we know... this is tied to the work we have put in, the pain we have endured, the disappointments, the small fraction of victory that gets dashed quicker than it came and the loneliness we felt when people turned their back on us (This is often called the "What I'm going through" period). Yes, many will rejoice with us when we come out triumphant, many will wonder how it happened. Others will try to put us down and accuse us falsely.

 

I say it's what we know because we alone know what we feel or felt, and no matter how hard we try to explain it people, they can only understand; in some cases, have a similar experience. But what happens when the ones who are closer to us, the ones we love the most don't understand what we are doing, and are not willing to support us? What do we do?

 

It is easier for people to wave us aside when we talk about what we do, and tag us as "time and money wasters". To react in anger will be oafish, to feel depressed about what they say or said would be a cowardly move on our part. Yes there will be criticisms, yes there will be jeerings and mockery; but in truth, we need all of that, because we know who we are and where we are going. Easy to say I know, but hard to take in... very true, but they that wait patiently, and work hard in getting their business going will always reap great rewards... check history, it's all there, screaming at us today.

 

A wise man once told me that the journey to success is often a lonely one; at first I thought it was a joke. How wrong I was then, now I know. Knowledge is unlimited, but only a few will embrace it and use it. It may be tough at the beginning, but as long as we stay consistent, we will break out in victory. Let us keep moving ahead, let us keep staying on track, let us keep excercising patience, but in all, let us never give up.

 

To the ones who are standing firm, I say keep standing; to the ones who are keeping at it, I say keep on keeping on; to the ones who feel alone, I say friendship is just one click away; to the ones who are seeing results, I say well done, keep on with the flow; to the ones who are in need of help, I say look for a good tribe and join, don't be bashful, we are all here to help; finally to the ones who feel like quitting, I say that's not an option, get back on track and kick that negative thought away... you are a champion!

 

To your successes my friends,
