Put your weapons down

There may come a time when you find yourself standing in the middle of a battlefield facing opposition from all sides. It may seem as if no matter what step you take, you can't seem to be a match for whatever is being directed at you. It may feel as if you find no way to put up a worthy fight. When you're standing there out numbered and feeling defeated, it is tempting to give up and surrender but you must not for you need to be a warrior.

A warrior does not surrender but at the same time, a warrior knows when its time to take a step back. If you wanted to escape from a hurricane, you wouldn't venture out into the eye of the storm.

There will be times when you feel pressured from all aspects of your life at once. You may face family, friends, financial or educational troubles and you may yearn to give up the fight. You may feel like every solution, every attempt you make doesn't even put a dent on the problems at hand and so you loose the desire to keep fighting. So what do you do in such a situation?

Picture yourself back on the battlefield, you find yourself outnumbered and distraught because you think you can't fight off all the opposition altogether. You can't fight, you can't surrender but you can find shelter. You can find a temporary hiding place and wait for things to settle down. In the battlefield, once you find a way to hide, the opposing side will split up to search for you and eventually, you will be able to tackle them one at a time.

Sometimes, its best to wait and let things run their course rather that trying to take matters into your own hands. You can't clean up the damage during the storm because you end up risking your life, there are more hurdles and the damage keeps increasing.

When life throws too many problems your way, take a deep breath, figure out if you can find a solution and if you can't then let fate work its magic.  If your best efforts go in vain, lift your chin up, stop trying to manipulate the circumstances and take life one step at a time. You must stop imagining, deciding and just allow yourself to flow freely like a leaf caught in a mid-autumn breeze.

The best solutions start with acceptance.
You have to accept that sometimes life isn't fair.
