Reaching and the human spirit

in Reflections2 months ago

I've faced uncertainty, adversity, false starts, dead ends and troubles that seemed insurmountable. Something would occur and I'd feel out of control and incapable of overcoming it but little by little as I stood back to gain perspective and reorder my thoughts I'd find the courage to reach forward and those things became clearer; a way forward, around or over the problem always presented itself; yes it might be difficult, but it was a way to create a better future.

Emotionally, it's been difficult when trouble strikes and the future seems uncertain but I think it's through overcoming adversity that the true spirit of a person shows itself.

I'm not exactly sure how to define the human spirit but I suppose it's being able to stand tall, look an uncertain future in the eye so to speak, to see opportunity and to approach it with optimism and energy and with a view to shaping the future rather simply being a subject to it.

Reaching for that future, reaching farther than we think we can, and finding belief, the belief that our problems can be faced, addressed and brought to a positive result, brings with it a degree of power over our thoughts and how we allow them to push us forward or hold us back.

Humans are fragile creatures in body and mind but we also posses a fierceness, an ability to do very difficult things and to strive for a better future, to reach out for it, and I think that's what we could define as the human spirit.

Hi Becca,

Reading you I just thought I'd share with you what I saw earlier today in Instagram. My answer is there, between difficulty and emotion.

It's always great to read your thoughts.

Thanks for taking a read and commenting. I didn't watch the video but I appreciate you taking a read of my post.

Becca, it's just an exhibition of a boy on a bicycle on a moving train, doing very difficult jumps and flips in the air. When it's over he's thrilled that he's done it.
I'm just subscribing with that to your words, very apt, which I interpreted as the experience of life for each and every one of us.

Have a nice Sunday 😊👋🏻

I figured it was something like that so didn't feel the need to watch it; I have a lot happening in my life and little time to spend watching videos on social media.

I hope you have had a nice weekend.

Yes Becca, I'm sorry, I wish you everything gets better over there.

Best regards and thank you.

He is the one who connects with the inner self and manages to overcome everything thanks to this unique and wise connection. Beautiful reflection.

And I love that song, it's motivating and beautiful!

Hugs Becca!💗

It's an older song but is a bit of fun I think, and has a nice beat.
