Keep tryin’ (Part 3)

“I’ve tried to cut these corners, try to take the easy way out, I kept on falling short of something. I coulda gave up then, but then again I couldn’t have ‘cause I’ve travelled all this way for something.” – Imagine Dragons.

I’ve been guilty of taking a few short cuts in life to get what I want, but I always find that I end up missing out on something significant or the consequences always comes back to bite me in the a… The thing about life is it seems to pave two different paths: one path seems to be this long, never-ending pathway to what we desire and the other seems to be filled with short cuts – these moments of temptation we can’t help but acknowledge. Funny thing about it is like everything in life that is short and rushed it never ends up perfect or fulfilling and like every other thing consumed by temptation you always seem to want more. Usually some of us find out that taking the easy routes through life is all we want to do and majority of the times that always leads back to feeling unsatisfied, which then leads to you wanting to give up – Don’t!

Sometimes all you need to do in life is reflect on the multiple times you could’ve given up in the past, acknowledge that maybe you’ve been through a lot worse; and acknowledge that you came all this way to do more than just surrender; just acknowledge you’re meant for more. Keep trying! Those are two words worth moulding your life around. I feel sometimes it’s best to believe that after darkness comes dawn, after lows comes highs and behind every valley lies a mountain and once you conquer that mountain it’s your time to live your dream - but unless you’re willing to keep going, to keep on trying then you won’t achieve much, will you? Keep Trying!

“I’ve had the highest mountains, I’ve had the deepest rivers, you can have it all but life keeps moving, NOW take it in but don’t look down.” - Imagine Dragons (Song: On top of the world).
