It seems like life is interesting
You want to do your best
You want to know that you are making some sort of difference
That your life has some purpose
It can be hard sometimes
When it seems like one thing happens after another
It can get easy to get stuck in a rut
And to think that we can never do better
Than the position that we are in right now
It is very easy to let the world
Especially ourselves
Convince us that our lives are just one big mistake
Whether it be financial, physical, emotional
Whatever seems to be standing in our way
Its very easy to take that in
And to start believing that where you are
Is just where you are supposed to be
That there isn't really anything you can do
You just have to keep going along
Not really feeling
Just allowing life to bowl over us
To feel like things are just becoming more overwhelming
Going through life feeling like you are going from one crisis to the next
Never truly being able to move forward
Getting stuck in the mud
And not being able to come up for air
But I feel even though it seems like a lot of people are going through their trials
That as long as you are moving forward
Working to become a better person
Trying to make a difference
Healing the things that you need to in your life
Making the changes that you need to make
To get to that better point in yourself
Even though things might seem hard
As long as you are trying to get to a better place
You are actively trying to help and heal yourself
As long as you are trying to help other people in the process
You are doing ok
You can move forward with pride
Knowing that you are moving
And coming more into the light
