When I think of support I look at a stable job, a roof over my head, water, food, family, and friends. Without these life can be very miserable and can leave a very empty spot inside a heart, a feeling of not even wanting to live. I have been blessed to have all this support in my life.
Stable Job: The job I work at currently supports me by giving me an opportunity to make money so that I can have a roof over my head, water, food, and other "Needs" in my life as well as "Wants" that I can afford to buy from my hard labor. This job also supports me by providing me a chance to do something in life I love and that is working with children, being a good role model and leader.
A roof over my head: Of course having a place to live is vital to giving me a place to lay my head at nights and really do what i need to do on my free will. With a roof over my head I am protected from weather, and have a place to store and cook food. I am supported by a place to ensure protection, baring burglary.
Family and Friends: A huge support system in my life and has been since day 1. Even when my mother was going through her tough times, I was blessed with family members that stepped in quicker than a snap of the finger to provide and support me. I grew up playing sports so support is what I really need to push my success over the top. My family and friends provided me with that always coming to my games and cheering me on. I had such a great supporting cast every time I think about it I get the chills and smile because having support is bigger than what a lot people give it credit for.
Many people who commit suicide do it because of lack of support. I believe every one in life needs a supporting cast because life is surely not easy and trying to beat life alone is very stressful and hard without someone there to laugh and joke with and tell you "your doing good" or "you need to do better." Even when people think they don't need support, really they do. Without support life can be a spinning roller coaster leaving any direction for a person to fall. Support will have someone or something in that spot to catch you before you fall.
Thanks for sharing. I know you may have shared this already, but where is it that you work? Do you feel your job is completely fullfiling?
ReplyDeleteFor me at times, I work as an ESL teacher, that I lack alot of support from my job. From my colleagues and also from other staff. It is quite lonesome the life of a teacher. We do not have good communication and I feel there is a lack of school unity.
Hi Carlos, you are absolutely correct. so many people do not have love ones, family and friends during the times that they need them the most and, it is really sad that they don not realize that life is worth living even when things are tough. And often we look over the small things like a roof over our head, a job, food, water these things are the necessities of life and sometimes we take them for granted. Thanks Carlos for the reflection, keep being thankful.

ReplyDeleteSo many people groan about their jobs and take them for granted. It is indeed a blessing to be able to provide for your family.
