Figure It Out

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." - Lewis Carroll

I happened upon an early morning Facebook status which read, "Trying to figure it out.?!?" It was a question that made me think this person had life questions to answer. Their statement surely meant they were questioning a decision to be made or the results of a decision already made.

There are so many possibilities one might conjure up regarding what is happening in this person's world. It could be good, it could be bad, but nonetheless it seems to be a troubling question to them.

Many things happen to us throughout our life.

Events and circumstances can cause us to wonder the 'why' of it all. A roller coaster ride sending us into a low spot or even derailing. The path we take in life gets challenged by these events. Each one can cause even the most positive person to wonder the same thing - why?

Knowing each of us will one day be "trying to figure it out" helps prepare you for those moments. It does not make it any easier but we need to understand that life is full of puzzling moments.

And life is also full of great moments.

Phrases such as "the sun will shine once again" or even the well used "...light at the end of the tunnel" seem old and outdated. In fact some people even refer to that light as an oncoming train.

While those phrases might be old and worn, I insist those statements do support your ability to overcome adversity.

You may not feel like it, but rest assure, life will get better.

You will "figure out how."
You will "get through the circumstance."
You will "figure out the question."

Stay inspired my friends!
