SURVIVE

SURVIVE

In a world where virtually everything have become virtual, and people can describe themselves as what they are not, claim to be who they are not, and present what they do not have to you as theirs, there is a lot of pressure on you to level up, and catch up with the waves, to be counted among, and to be accepted by the society.

Many have been forced to do things that are criminal and unbecoming; many have endangered their lives and destiny, all in the quest to make fast and easy wealth, and popularity, they want to become world famous overnight, and do what takes some years and even decades to achieve within days. They forget that whatever comes easy goes easy, but whatever one strives for stays forever.

To live in this kind of world is becoming increasingly difficult to do. Do not be carried away, nor deceived by the social media lush, luxurious, extravagantly beautiful, and excellently doctored social media images, they mostly are not a true reflection of the lifestyle of those who put these things out for public view and appraisal.

Your life may not be as backward as you think compared to those you see out there, even when things are tough for you, just keep moving. Focus first on survival, no matter how difficult the situation is, strive to stay alive, be careful, live within your means, plan for the future, never look back. When you need a break, be sure to get one; keep your heads up, if you can SURVIVE, you can succeed.
