SAD THINGS ARE A GREAT MOTIVATION



Everybody has something that motivates them, music, art, anger, people they love, people they hate, people that hate them, sad moments, happy moments and many other things. There are a lot of things that happen in our lives and the best motivation comes from the bad experiences. Losing a loved one, being brought up by a single parent, being abandoned, being discriminated, being brought up in an environment where there is no love, just to mention a few.

Most of the people that have been brought up in a harsh environment are successful people. I know a lot of children that are orphans and because of this they work extremely hard in school especially if they know that they cannot rely on their guardians and relatives. When you lack a lot of things while you are growing up, it acts as a motivation to make you work hard, to get everything you desire. Especially kids that grow up in boarding school and are exposed to the company of rich kids that have everything they need.

We all have those moments when we feel sad and alone due to circumstances. These days friends are not friends, people are not who they play out to be. When you think you have friends and need them, they turn away from you the moment you are in need. That is when you realize who your true friends are, the person you least expect, the person you took for granted will be the one to help you. I am not saying having friends is bad, having friends is good. They all play a great role in your life, some are a blessing and some are a lesson.

I personally love all the people that I used to call friends and are a lesson in my life. Those people play a great role in molding us into what we are. As we grow older we realize that life becomes harder because everyone has their issues and these issues make people become desperate. They become users, opportunists and hypocrites. And that is where all our sad moments come in because the people we thought love and care about us actually do not. I prefer to think of all sad things as a blessing because they are a motivation. Out of every bad thing comes a good thing.
