WHEN LIFE SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE, SLAP IT BACK BY PRESSING FORWARD WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE

How is life treating you? good or bad? We often here people say life is not treating me fine or it's not fair to me. While some have it good with life some have had it rough. Some people sail smoothly to their destination in life but some find it difficult to do so.

Every stage of life comes with its unique challenge but how well you cope with such challenges will determine how you come out of it.

As humans, we are never satisfied with the position we are currently in, we always want to move up higher in life which in itself it's nothing bad and in most cases we get fed up with our present position in life due to the so many challenges that come with it.

But have it in mind that before you complain of that present position in life be it good or bad, there are so many people hoping to be where you are. Your present job might not be all goodie goodie due to the challenges that come with it but while you complain, have you ever stopped to appreciate God for the opportunity to earn a salary? There are so many people who wouldn't mind having the kind of job you do just to earn even a little money. Or are you in a relationship or marriage where things are not going well like you would want? still appreciate God for that stage of your life because there are so many people longing to get to that stage and experience how it feels.

For those seeking employment or finding it difficult financially, rather than bawling out your eyes or get into something illegitimate to make money, welcome the slap on your face with a chilled glass of water and put a smile on your face having in mind that no situation is permanent in life, it's a phase that will surely pass. While waiting for something big to happen, you can start from somewhere no matter how small, may be a menial job or a business. The most important thing is getting yourself busy.

Are you married and seem to be finding things difficult in your marriage? Well marriage isn't a bed of roses. You hardly find a couple who has had it all smooth in their marriage. A couple might be looking so happy with each other doesn't mean there are no issues in that marriage but rather they work on their differences, they find a common ground to face every challenge squarely and work on their marriage. Rather complain about your marriage and your spouse or compare your spouse with someone else, always look at the bright side of life. See the positive side of your partner, compliment him or her and work on your marriage.

And what if you aren't in a relationship because it didn't work out? Then it didn't work out because you aren't made for each other. If the other person left you for one reason or the other, then he she doesn't deserve you or is not meant for you. Rather sulking on why he she left you be grateful to God who sees the end of a thing from the beginning. While desperately wanting to connect back even when that person is so wrong, have you ever stepped back to think what the future would look like with a such a person? There will always be a better person who will love and cherish you for who you are and the stuff you are made of. Never settle for less even when it seems it's taking long or like nothing is working. Move on with your head held high like the prettiest or most handsome person in the world.

When life slaps you in any aspect of your life, see it as a wake-up call and get back on feet because if you don't your life moves into inertia (stagnancy). Take every setback in life as a catalyst to improve yourself, your current position in your place of work, your marriage and use it to achieve a positive outcome towards a greater goal.

With all said and done, never wait for life to slap you before you do something useful in life. You are better off with a busy schedule than to just live a life of eating, sleeping and waking up everyday without a purpose in life.
