So last weekend I went hiking and boy was it so much fun, but it was very challenging. Often I thought to myself, "why on earth am I doing this".
We got to the area to hike around 7am and started our long journey up the hill. I got to the top and I was dead. I thought life was really hard at that moment.
A few minutes later a runner came past us, around 8am, it was strange to find a runner on a hiking trail. After some time more came past us and we realized some marathon was going on, or something like that.
I related this to life and how we think our lives are tough and unbearable, but there is always someone else that has it even tougher.
Realizing this, I will never complain or get despondent because of what happens around me. Everyone has their struggles and their story to tell, so just because bad things happen doesn't mean you are the only one going through hard times.
Rightly said @dragonslayer109
Most people tend to think their situation is the worst, you might see someone smiling but you don't know what he/she is going through. The smile is to cover their suffering. More like
You might be going through hard times but out there, someone is going through a situation tougher than yours. Hard times don't last forever.
You said exactly what was on my mind
So true! But that what you see, use it to inspire you to be the best version of your self :)
Peace
great job....thanks for shearing
Why I can't see any image here?? :(
Went hiking as well last week and although it can be tough, everyone has their own agenda and pushes through to achieve their goals, like the runners.
Well sir, thats life for you in a nutshell. If you think you are going through a rough patch,someone is worse off, if you think you are having the best of times someone somewhere is having a better deal. The point is be GRATEFUL for small things so that bigger things will be given unto you.
Great :)
Great :)
Someone out there always has it worse. I always think of the positives, while not ignoring the negative, I try to be grateful for whatever it is that life throws at us.
Feel ok to make mistakes too
Have a wonderful day
You said "Everyone has their struggles and their story to tell, so just because bad things happen doesn't mean you are the only one going through hard times." and seriously i cannot agree less, it's acutually inspiring and this is also a forward-driven quote.....

Somewhere out there is somebody who is literally dying to be in your shoes...
That's why we travel. To find that out.
Good post @dragonslayer109
I'm really inspired by your experience. thanks
Sometimes we get so caught up by our own challenges that we care less about others. We refuse to lend a helping hand to others because we think we have our own problens to grapple with. What we dont realise is that our care for them can go a long way in alleviating their pains. Who knows, they might also have the solution to our problems.
Therefore, let us look out for ways of brightening up the lives of others, even in our times of need.
congratulation !
I love hiking as well. Done some trails in Mpumalanga that was amazing!
This is what i define as reality
