NoBody Said The Journey Is Gonna Be An Easy One
And if you were told that, I am sorry but you will need to unlearn that belief. There is an easier path they say, follow that one. But is that "easy" path really easy? (maybe sometimes but I don't believe the result is always that great).

You might have found your self asking the "why is life so hard" question more than a few times. Why are things not going as planned? Why do you have to face so many challenges?
The struggles will come around. The challenges will be there. We will encounter the bumps and potholes on our way. It won't be an easy ride, but strange enough, that's where life's adventure lies.
Now, I am not saying the journey will be tough all through but we will always come along some sort of discomfort on the way along with the peaceful and smooth ride. And that is just part of the journey.
When you are faced with all of these discomforts, remember that life isn't all about the smooth sails. It is a mixture of both. And we should learn to enjoy both of them.
We were made to be able to face all of these situations, it is never above us, we just need to stretch a little bit (no, you won't break), All of these challenges are meant to push you to reach your fullest potential and be able to live a fulfilled life.

We don't look for an escape from the happy moments, I believe that in the same way, we should learn to face those crazy and seemingly rough moments of our lives.
As much as we enjoy the smooth sail through life, we should also learn to enjoy the turbulent times. The journey might be tough but it will still be beautiful, life might be hard, but it will still be beautiful.
You are meant to explore the different sides (and tastes) of life (the good and the bad, the happy and the sad). That is why we have the ability to feel all of that and it is part of what makes us beautiful as humans. You don't need to run away from them!
Understand that everything happens for a reason and once that reason is accomplisehd, you will learn great lessons and above all, you will be able to cross over to the "sunnier" side.

Our view is what really matters during these times. Here is a reminder that it's not gonna be easy, but it will be worth it in the end. And you will only find out how worthy the tough (and smooth) journey is until you hold on to the end, so keep up the positive spirit.

Much Love, Audrey

Thank you very much Audrey for the very good article, motivation is not all about showing that everything is going to work but also showing that it's not easy but possible you may not make it but it's possible. Learning to live life in every situation good or bad is helpful to live a happy life.
Yes no one will break, we have to push ourselves beyond the limits and know it's better to die trying than live defeated!

Life really is about its ups and downs isn't it?! And a true sign of someone's character is how they deal with the "downs" :)
I found your post because @bmotives featured you in his Pay it Forward Curation contest entry; we would love to have you join us with an entry of your own next week too :)
Yeah, it is!
Wow! Thank you for coming to show your support. I will be glad to put up an entry..
I thought that's @anutu who featured this article? 😊
It was actually featured by two different people. It was my lucky day!! #smiles
Indeed, lucky you! 😊
I'll have to check, but I'm wondering if they both did @macoolette 😅
Oh yes, that could posssibly be. I am not yet done with my rounds on the other entries so I am also not sure. I hope I can complete my rounds tonight.
You are correct! She was featured by @bmotives too. 😊
Hi Audrey. That is a great inspirational post you have there. Indeed, we should not give in no matter what life throws at us. If we go down, we make it as a motivation to go up. Because there is no way than up.
I found your pot through @anutu who featured it on his post as an entry to this Pay it Forward Curation Contest.
Keep moving, keep going.
Thank you so much for coming over to show your support, I really do appreciate.
And yeah, when we get down, there is no way other than going up!
You're welcome! 😊
Well.. when power means demonstrating your ability to manifest reality, all of us has an inner power center and it's up to us how to call upon this power and set out our own life.
