I am sure many of you have heard of Jelly Roll. I'll have to admit the words to this song, I can relate to. There are many days, I go by as if everything is perfect, well at least normal for me. The sad truth is, like in Jelly Roll's song, I've learned to hide it well.
The thing is, when I am helping someone turn their life around, it makes me feel better about my life. I realize I can't solve everyone's problems, but just helping one person, makes my life more bearable.
I feel that we are all looking for something...like what's our purpose. I feel that our purpose can evolve as we adapt and mature.
The reason for this post is to let you know that WE are not Okay, yet we move forward...searching our souls to discover what it is we are meant to be.
In order for us to accomplish our goal(s), we must practice and have discipline and belief in ourselves. Without belief, whats the sense of striving for more, I mean if we don't have that belief, then we are nothing. Even if you lack belief in yourself, find someone who will believe in you.
In order to attain that dream we need discipline in our mind and put forth the effort to go after our dreams.
We must and I mean must find our purpose and support team to get to where we want to go.
Many of you have heard the saying that "No man is an Island", I didn't understand it at first until I wanted to change bad enough and realized, I can't do it alone. I lacked discipline and belief, after time, I discovered how to get what I want.
We may not be okay, but remember we are not alone in our struggles. So if your barely getting by, seek out those who can assist you on your way.
I put the lyrics to Jelly Roll's song "I am not Okay", for you to read as well as a link on his picture to his video.
"I am not okayI'm barely getting byI'm losing track of daysAnd losing sleep at nightI am not okayI'm hanging on the railsSo if I say I'm fineJust know I learned to hide it well
I know, I can't be the only oneWho's holding on for dear lifeBut God knows, I knowWhen it's all said and doneI'm not okayBut it's all gonna be alrightIt's not okayBut we're all gonna be alright
I woke up todayI almost stayed in bedHad the devil on my backAnd voices in my headSome days, it ain't all badSome days, it all gets worseSome days, I swear I'm better offLayin' in that dirt
I know, I can't be the only oneWho's holding on for dear lifeBut God knows, I knowWhen it's all said and doneI'm not okayBut it's all gonna be alrightIt's not okayBut we're all gonna be alright
Gonna be alrightGonna be alright
I know one dayWe'll see the other sideThe pain'll wash awayIn a holy water tideAnd we all gonna be alright
I know, I can't be the only oneWho's holding on for dear lifeBut God knows, I knowWhen it's all said and doneI'm not okayBut it's all gonna be alrightIt's not okayBut we're all gonna be alrightI'm not okayBut it's all gonna be alright"
