“ Four Phases of Life ”
In this materialistic world , people go through 4 phases of life and you can't skip any of them until , you make your own way out. But trust me, life is full of wonderful surprises and awful shocks , sometimes things can be intimidating and interesting at the same time . After all, it's life—something that can take a different turn at every corner.
The first phase of life , childhood , the time of our life when we live freely without any expectations , pressure , workload and stress . It's the time when everyone loves you but not everyone. You have many good memories of this time but not just everyone is that privileged . Some children who face hardship, neglect, and betrayal at an early age are often left with emotional scars. These scars can lead to many mental problems and traumas and Sometimes, one carries the pain of those traumas throughout their entire life. Those kids can face highly concerning issues like post traumatic stress disorders or dissociative identity disorder which is a threat for the bearers as well as the people around them due to which they fail in finding friends but they can improve with the help of people who truly love them like parents , friends and non - blood related yet close people along with medical help.
The second phase of life , teenage , not to mention but the most emotionally unbalanced age, the age of changes , the age of puberty , at this age kids go through physical changes and also faces repeated emotional roller - coaster . Teenagers are often attracted to social life , outings and entertainment. They often make mistakes, false decisions and arguments out of their curiosity and peer pressure but maturity is only when you realize that being on social media , scrolling , chatting , making long - distant friends is just a part of wasting your own precious money . Afterall time is money . There are exceptions when people make money , run their dying business with the help of social apps but as I say '' BE THE RETAILER , NOT THE CUSTOMER '' . You can win an unrealized fight when you figure out the root cause of your problems and yes , many deny but social media is one such cause . Online people don’t help you build your empire , your kingdom . Even the surveys can testify that many leaders never logged into their social accounts.
The third phase of life , the time when you give your 200% in everything only in the hope of achieving something. Some achieve success early because of their consistent efforts, while others take longer to rise but the only one who gives up lags behind . Life is full of risks and you should be ready for them anytime and you have no right to back off , when you feel like giving up just remember the time when you decided your goal , why you wanted to pursue it at the first place , who do you want it for? If possible allow criticism to motivate you and lit a fire inside you to fulfil your goals and ambitions and that’s when you realize that you can turn mountains around with your determination. The one thing you should always remember is that you came from humble beginnings and must remain grounded , even after gaining enormous power and wealth , you don’t have a right to hurt someone else's feelings.
The fourth phase of life , old age , the time when you already worked your heart out and can relax at ease but you actually can't sit idle . Your longing for your work grows and that's when it hits that you got what you wanted and you have your family , loving people behind you who respect and adore you not because of your wealth but because of the respect and love you earned . You have plenty of time to spend with your friends, to be on social media and that's the actual time you have been waiting for but some doesn't think this way . Some people enjoy a busy life, while others prefer solitude. But all you know at this point is that you went through a lot of failures and successes and now you can look in the mirror and smile .
To conclude , I would love to mention that just do your part and wait for the returns . Don’t take things to your heart , accept the failures and betrayals , learn from them and move on. Life is short. There are 525600 minutes in a year and you can't let 600 painful minutes ruin the remaining 525,000 minutes of your year. You can't sit back and cry for something you lost ; you are losing yourself but others may find entertainment in your suffering . Just wait , reflect on your actions , and move on …
