HOP AT HOPE NOT

 To be faced with adversity is of course nobody's choice.Due to reasons not known or inevitable.It is sometimes almost obvious that we might not be happy always.....c'est la vie.To choose not to be dominated by prevailing elements is however a choice we can make.

The other day on TV,i came across this man Bear Grylls.Adventorous,real and educative is he and most of the shows he pulls.Put in any situation be it in the tropics or deserts. He will definitely find a way to keep him going,or at least a survival solution even if half baked.
Most of his fans will attest to the fact that he feeds on cockroaches,lizards,frogs, drinks his pee, name them all if that is what he needs to do at least before an evacuation.

 You can talk of simulation,stage management,camera tricks but what he does is indeed real.Most people most enjoy the fact that he does real time what seasoned performers would only showcase using many a props,green screens and all.

Stuck say in an island Bear grylls will make a simple raft and cross to the very end.For food in the same he will simply make a hook out of stick and fish in the same waters.Sheer determination to keep going no matter how loud againist him the prevalent conditions may be shouting.And using the faintest sources of inspiration.

No matter the situation we ought to find  a reason to keep going.Deep down the adversity is always a way you can motivate yourself to not tap out.

In American grit ,one of the group leaders, a veteran.Challenges his team by narrating how panic would sometimes grip them when called out for rapid patrols across the heavily landmined Hemland province,  during his tour of duty in Afghanistan.But, amidst the effervescence in his head,he would wink at himself and say to himself.Buddy there you are doing exactly what most people pay in theatres and  cinemas to experience remotely.And there he was,looking at it from a different vantage point already supercharged for the task.

Learning to identify with this safe spot in the midst of the turbulence is indeed an important skill to master.Rather than always whin about,curse or complain.Sometimes we ought to just let nature be.Let it take its course which most likely will not be as harmful as your mind thinks it is.You should at times just seat back,and watch other than be confrontational.

Something that might look awful or seemingly ill intentioned in the beginning can set you up for very exciting things to follow. You just got to try and calm your nerves in the process to pass the test.

We have all heard of people who at one time dropped out of school or didn't get the grades.Only to boss their former school mates later on.So,it's all matter of being smart and wise enough to see the treasure right in the blindspot.

The ill fate to you can in the long run turn out to be a good tiding . And catapulting you right into your hey days.In any case, just relax and reflect .

And sure enough you will walk through it all and persisting with enough lessons,opportunities,self actualization in the end.

Yeah, the lemon into lemonade mindset. Blessings in disguise some be.And don't forget to give thanks on your way.(pens off)
