Sometimes, we have to face certain situations in our life where we feel that our world is coming to an end. It could be the death of a loved one, the death of a relationship, actions or words of the ones we love which leave us confused, hurt and disturbed. Whatever the reason, at those times it feels like the ground under our feet is opening up or the sky is falling on our head. There is a lot of heartache and pain. But the amazing thing is that despite feeling this way…..we deal with it…..and whether it takes days, months or sometimes even years…..we heal…..we recover…..because the simple thing is that…..no matter what happens….Life goes on.
Human beings are a very resilient bunch. We are tougher than we give ourselves credit for…..and we can pretty much face anything that is thrown our way. That is the reason why we rebuilt cities destroyed by a hurricane or an earthquake or a tsunami. The survival instinct in human beings is very strong….and so we deal with the issues we are faced with in whatever way we can….whether it is with a brave smile on our face or by crying ourselves to sleep at night…..whether it is standing in front of God with a prayer and a plea or immersing ourselves into focusing on the things we love…..whether it is sitting down alone and thinking in quiet reflection or by crying on the shoulder of a trusted friend….whether it is talking about it or remaining silent…..we deal, we cope, we bounce back as only we can and we stand tall…..because human beings are survivors capable of dealing with the toughest of situations. And though it is true that our life may have changed because of whatever has happened…..it has not ended…..it never will….Life, simply, goes on.
Signing off strongly believing that no matter what happens Life will go on and this quote by Robert Frost
‘In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life. It goes on.’
