Listen to Bob Marley

I haven't been blogging lately, maybe because there's nothing to write. Well,nothing interesting to write. You see I'm kinda stuck, stuck in a place where I don't want to be stuck. You know how it is when you find yourself in this kind of situation, you think why am I stuck? How come I don't have any clue about what to do with my life? I'm smart(I'd like to think i am), i'm a good person, no vices(does food count?), well, I'm sure you get what i mean. But here I am ...stuck. Stuck like an ant in a pool of honey. Actually that ant's lucky,he's stuck in a sweet situation in a gooey kind of way.
But of course as a human being who wants to live a good life, we have to suck it up and move forward. Get up and dust it off as they say.Try as hard as you can to get un-stuck and trod on. We are expected to fight and never give up. You haven't lived if you haven't struggled. But it is how you worked through the struggle that really counts. You can either go the "bad way" or the " good way".
The bad way meaning,you take desperate measures reaching your goal. Some people do this to see results faster,lie-cheat-hurt other people- kind of thing. These are people who want to do thing the easy way,maybe they want to end the struggle as soon as they can but in reality these kinds of actions will have greater consequences. Karma is a bitch.
Now there are people who finds solutions to their problems "the good way". Meaning, they wait patiently,stay in jobs that drain the life out of them,pray and believe that God will bless them in His own time. These are people who are tempted to do the bad thing just to get through the crisis but decides not to. Because they believe karma IS a bitch.
I think I belong in the good category, I'm not saying I'm a saint or I should get an award for this. Most people choose being good. But I think if I belonged to the other category then I guess I wouldn't be struggling still. I wouldn't be stuck. I'm still here weighing my options,trying to determine which path I will take to better my life. I'm still praying that I will see the light that will lead me to the place where I won't feel stuck anymore. I try to get inspiration from people who you see everyday in the street. People who sell flowers,candy,water and other thingymajiggys on the road. Sometimes we think why don't these people get a real job? That's the immature,closed minded bratty side of you. But then you find yourself in a crisis,the good life has ended and you are forced to see the world more clearly and suddenly you get why they are on the street baking under the heat of the sun,selling things on the road despite the chances of them being run over by a vehicle. That's when these ordinary people inspire you to work harder to get out of the rut you are in. They are doing everything to feed their family,what they're doing is honorable but you don't want to reach that point. You want to fight the hardships of life and shake yourself out of the self-pity trance that you're in in and do something. I'm planning my escape, I don't mind if it takes awhile. But I will do it!
As I'm writing this,Bob Marley comes to mind. His mantra keeps playing in my head...Get up, stand up! ....yes, i will stand up and yes, i will get up. I'll break away from this nest of cobweb I have found myself in and move forward. But I'll be doing this the "good way" because I don't want to get bitch slapped by Karma.
So listen to Bob Marley.
