GET BACK UP

I believe people are down and not motivated for so many reasons in life. Either for things that have happened that you have not been able to forgive yourself for or for things that are yet to happen that stops you from even wanting to dare because of the fear that lies ahead.

I came up with some reasons why I think people are usually down and they are categorized into 5 basically:

-They may be thrown down - (Disappointment)

Many of us have been here before when you have high hopes and expectations both from people and from specific situations, but as a result of happenstance or human egos, we find our expectations thrown back at our face and it's hurts more at times when we don't even get apologies for being put in such a bad situation.

-Some are born down - (Disadvantaged/Disability)

This is as a result of being born with some disabilities that keeps you at the disadvantaged end of life's game. And because you didn't create yourself, hardly can you alter the reason why you are down in this scenario. Disadvantaged sometimes also because maybe your parents couldn't afford you a good school.

-Some are put down - (Conspiracy/Betrayal)

We find ourselves in this position most times when our trust is maimed, beaten and torn by conspiracy either at a workplace or by friends which most times comes in the coat of betrayal. Here, we feel almost too offended about life and people that we might just consider giving up on our expectations from people. Sad!

-Some people are knocked down -

People who are on their way to happen, maybe with a dream if becoming a medical doctor and on application to the university you were given Agricultural sciences (this is common in Nigeria.... Hahahaha), and maybe that's the 7th time you have applied. Here, you do not have the choice to make but life has knocked you down with an imposed choice. So you feel let down.

For the four listed categories, it is obvious that life has only happened to them which they don't have control over particularly because they are not responsible for it, they just found themselves in such an unworthy situation. One or all of these must have happened or will happen to us at one point or the other in our lives you agree?

-The people who lie down -

These are people who are neither of the aforementioned four but are people who out of laziness have refused to take personal responsibility to life. Many of us especially the young ones are guilty of this. We have the opportunity to happen to life unlike the other four, we just don't. This can be due to several reasons as we just feel comfortable with the status quo and not daring new things, New challenges, New environment. We just sit down and expect the square peg in the square hole all by itself.

Solution

-Believe there is no mistake that cannot be corrected.

Failure is never final, success is not ending - Robert Schuller

-Decide to make amendments and move beyond it.

-Get a mentor - Joining steemit for me was a whole new ball game, I spent some time understanding the platform and knowing what is and what's not, thanks to @tojukaka who put me through by mentoring on this platform. The truth is you travel easier when you learn from those who have travelled the same path before you.

-Man-up to your responsibilities (Even if you fail or the dollars aren't rolling in, do it again and again)

-Keep the end in view - (I believe what you eventually become in future is just as far as you can see). Somebody once said vision is an actual picture of a tangible future. What do you see yourself become, even on steemit. Get your goals right and straight.

The only disadvantage you have in life is leaving your mind, un-mined. Sometimes we just need to unlearn somethings, re-learn some of the things we learnt before or just learn new things.
