Life’s journey is akin to a swing, perpetually oscillating between highs and lows. As we navigate this dynamic path, we’re constantly faced with choices and challenges that test our resolve. In this delicate balance, discernment is key – knowing when to share, when to hold back, and how to safeguard our stories.
Life Is A Swing…. If life did not have it’s highs and lows, it would have never been referred to as a swing. In trying to get to know what you want, at most there are a lot of considerations one has to take and fully understand before taking a major step. Regardless of circumstances, or how boastful you think your character might be to push you achieve whatever you want, ignoring certain things can obviously give a solid question mark.
If you get high in life, always know how to watch your back, if you go low always be aware of what’s ahead and above. This means in the highest reach of your goals, all you need to look at those things that try to pull you down rather than that which pushes you up. When going up, only that which is ahead stops you from gathering momentum, and flying above your pivot. If you talk you will still have enemies who talk back and forth about you, if you don’t you will still have enemies.
In as much as those who want you to talk get to hear what you say, you have armored those listening to destroy you. Enemies now are your previous friends and whatever information you told them is what they will use to destroy you. Don’t give people up to date information about you. The nature of God is secrecy, and if you are a true custodian or keeper of God’s word. We are custodians and keepers of the mysteries of God. 1 COR 4:1. You are powerful as your secret, those who share their problems know they don’t really matter they want your story, that’s what matters. We both have stories but it’s all about integrity that you have to keep my story, that’s why there will never be a 50/50 relationship.
Those who gain more in a relationship are supposed to uphold the nature of the relationship. Don’t let them see the process, give them the product, always shut the door. Only a few people matter in your life. Before you open , look at the capacity of the person you are telling. When going to the doctor, not even the security guard has to know your condition. Have you ever felt the surge that rushes within your veins when the swing gets you three quarters up your height in the air, that’s exactly how the challenges that chase you reach as well. It’s only up-to you to hang in the balance between floating through the wind to the neutral zone or fall back down.
As we ride the swing of life, let’s remain vigilant, adaptable, and wise. May we cherish our stories, protect our vulnerabilities, and share our hearts with discernment. In this way, we’ll not only navigate life’s ebbs and flows but also emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient – our spirits unbroken, our hearts intact.
