Life's Consequences

Everyone in life suffers.

It's what you do after you've been through the trenches that matters.

Some people believe that because they've been hurt once, everything and everyone continues to hurt them. They become victims of life's consequences. They become paralyzed in some vicious cycle of fearful pain and anger, taking out their frustration on others and themselves.

Everyone wants to be nice to them because of their, "I've been hurt, pity me," attitude. Patience and time are definitely required to heal. But what do you do when someone gets stuck and doesn't perceive that magic epiphany? Years later?

I don't know. Maybe it's more profound suffering, or maybe a rallying go-get-em speech. I honestly have no idea.

Although, I do know what that magic epiphany is: accountability. It's realizing that no matter what has happened to you, no matter who did it, it is your life. And only you are responsible for living it. You stand up on your own two feet and you decide what to do with it. However unfortunate the scenario, you are the one who has to clean up the mess someone else made of your life. You have to realize that what happened may not have been your fault but now you are responsible for your own actions. Then instead of being the victim become the amazing liver of it.

So, commit to your life and live it.
