Just recently, I realized that I have a problem. We all have some sort of problem really, but sometimes it takes experiences that happen over and over again for us to get the lesson that we need to get. There’s a quote that says, “God will keep you where you are until you get the lesson.” Before when I saw this quote, I would just say yeah, that is some inspirational ish, which is usually my reaction to anything inspirational. It’s in my nature. But lately, I have noticed that life is imperfection. To my readers thinking, no shit life is imperfection, it isn’t a fairytale, I would say that you are slightly in denial because I think we all believe everything is supposed to go smoothly for us. This is why when we are faced with one little obstacle, we can’t take it because we had this idea in our heads of the way things are supposed to go. I’ll give you a perfect example.
I just started writing for a blog site and once I got accepted I became ecstatic. The site is pretty well known and has millions of readers. Usually when I see other people writing for blog sites, I think wow, she has really gotten somewhere with her writing.
Some writers like myself, usually suffer from low self-esteem when it comes to our writing. That’s just the truth. We think we aren’t good enough when we should be giving ourselves props for even writing in the first place, but, I digress. So I got in and thought, damn, my ass is gonna be famous and because I am in everything will just go off from here and that begins the story of a simple girl turned into an overnight success. WRONG. LOL.
First of off, my narcissist mindset definitely needs to be kept in check, because writing for a blog site isn’t about fame, it’s about art and advice. Simple as that. And because I was focused so much on my blog being accepted, my second article just wasn’t up to par for publication as yet and my first article got rejected. Not really a big deal and not really a life threatening crisis, but nonetheless, we all have moments where we think everything is supposed to go smoothly and that just isn’t the case. Things will get rejected, things will take a while to come, jobs will not fall into our laps immediately, and happiness and success won’t come overnight. This my friend, is the truth, but because I’m not one of these bloggers who ends things on a pessimistic, that’s life now get over it note I will end with the positive. The good will come. It will come from patience and persistence. This is a literal note to myself by the way. Patience and persistence. Patience is actually the number one key here because eventually good shit will happen but we perhaps need to take a few moments to just chill out. Previously, I never blogged, I didn’t write as much as I do now, never even thought I would contribute to a blogging site, and excitedly for me, I have actually gotten around to creating a vision board, yayyy. So, let’s just all chill out together and realize that life isn’t a fairy-tale but is full of lessons to be learned
