The push. How long do we stay pushing?
There is no telling where the load will tilt and how much lighter or heavier it will get with the passing of the day. What is told us is..... nothing.
It is a jungle out here the minute you are born and all the more hard to follow through is, the inability of society to tell us what exactly we should be expecting to see and how we can conquer or overcome to certain extents.
It is a doggy dog world.
It is a crazy messed up world filed with more unfeeling souls than those who actually feel something.
There are certain things that when they happen, you are forced to question even yourself as to what you really saw or heard.
I saw a man today and seeing him brought back a picture form 2006. That was when I first saw him and he was "pushing". So, seeing him today after over 17years, I would expect he would have stopped pushing and start living, but lo and behold, he was still pushing.
I asked how he was and as if to help my article today, he said, "my brother, we just dey push am o."
We talked for what was some few slow seconds and we walked out separate ways, but couldn't stop thinking.
How do you push for that long? That has got to be the longest labour ever.
I think there is a need to push and to push timely. Too often, we get really comfortable pushing and staying confident that, the push we have found is the ultimate, forgetting that, we can push the push out of the way and start living. The things we can do are never presented as an option, we cannot see it until we seek it out ourselves.
Life's challenges can be really depressing with no support system and given it's negative flow, many get lost struggling to exist when they should be striving to live.
Don't push for too long. When it is getting to become a thing with you. Dump that thing you are pushing and hold on to your reigns and redirect yourself towards what may bring some good tidings.
Remember, the choice to push should absolutely be yours and you must learn to question yourself as to what it is you are pushing.
You mustn't push because everyone else pushes. You must have something worthwhile to push.

There are times I feel like I am pushing for a very long time. Almost like an automated pushing. Living like a programmed robot. Pushing, running, getting exhausted, sleeping and then the cycle repeats itself again. Like a loop.
Some of those times, you need someone or something to tell you to STOP!!! To look around, and see what you are missing while you are so focused on pushing.
Sometimes a sad event can strike you. And you stop pushing a bit, think what you are doing, whether it’s worth it. And after a while you fall in the same pattern.
Sounds like we all are struggling...

Ultimately, it is best to push wisely. And pushing wisely involves pushing with the smartest options.
For as long as it takes
