Vicious Cycles.

There are some repititions in life
That are plain annoying.

It can be a weakness.
A bad habit.

Sometimes,
We keep wondering about the 'whys' in our circumstances
And eventually realise we've been going in circles.

Have you ever felt this way before?

Frustrating, it is!

I learnt that in times like this,
We need to seek a higher perspective.

I remember this,
'Lift your eyes now
And look from the place you are -
Northward,
Southward,
Eastward, and
Westward

Arise, walk in the land
Through its length
And its width,
For I give it to you.'

It sucks to be stuck in a vicious cycle of
Falling again
And again.

I realise
We could either look down
And disintegrate our self-esteem
(And still stay STUCK)
Or

We look up,
Cry out,
Stand up,
And
Walk out of that circle,
And Walk into new grounds,
New levels.

Many of us
Define ourselves with the circumstances we're in.
Oh, I will never be a millionaire cos I've never saved and my parents are perpetual debtors.

Uhh, I can't do big things ever, cos none of my family members has never done anything big.

Mmm, I'll never think about going to university, no one at home could ever make it.

Okay, I'm not cut out for being a leader, I stammer whenever I meet new people.

It's not about You (the object)
It's just your circumstance (the subject).

When you fail,
It doesn't mean you're a failure for life.

What vicious cycles have you been having lately?

What kind of better person do you want to be?

What change do you want to see at school, at home and in your friendships?

Look Up.
Stand.
Walk
And seize
The good things
He's laid out for you.

His children shall fall seven times
And stand up.
