Living Life on a Low

There are times when I think about life and what it takes to survive the hurdles and storms of it. It’s just going to be like we get to face the multidimensional and multidirectional way of life. Yet the sad truth is that we still have to survive it all.

Some will call it discipline, some will call it endurance, some will call it patience, and there is a lot more to it. There is honesty, trust, reliance, manipulations, deceit, hatred, envy and a lot more. But in all we have to struggle our way towards surviving each day.

Survival becomes a battle we have to live each day. You just get to experience unexpected and unplanned events that come up out of nowhere. Then the last choice you get is to either get through with it or let it get through you.

Many days when I live my day trying to plan out for the morrow, but even the day I had wasn’t what I planned for yesterday. There are days when I will plan to rest for the next day, at least take that day off, but eventually it will become the most engaged and busy day of the week.

Though at times I encounter some coincidences with the plans I have, when I plan to rest, the rest comes in handy. Many times, my days get graced with blessings like cool weather and amazing rainfall. There are times when I will just sit and relax under the tree, instead of it being so sunny, then I will be so cool because of the breeze, and take a quick nap that I might not have the opportunity to embrace till the day runs out.

That’s life, one move and you are here, then another move, you are there. Wandering across different scenarios remaining unfulfilled and convinced.

There are times when I just choose to give myself peace of mind by letting go of some burdens and living my life on a low. Having lesser expectations and knowing my limit. Trying to be more independent and self-reliant. All of these have been my go-to when I truly feel the need to set a perimeter between myself and the cruel world out there.

Letting go actually gives me the peace I wanted, lesser expectations make my mind so free, knowing my limit reduces the negative pressures, more independence reduces being disappointed, and my self reliance gets me stronger. It's a life I chose for myself after all, it's my responsibility.
