Push, Contributed by @Olawalium
You are not as damaged as you think you are. You are not as useless as you think you are. You breathe every day, and if that is not a good enough reason to live on, then nothing else is.
There is more to you than meets the eye. You are not broken. Even a broken clock is still right about twice a day. There is always hope for you. A fine tune can still come out of your broken strings. I know this isn’t as easy as it sounds, only those who feel this way can understand how deep it is and how slippery it is to climb back up. Like I always say, I know it is not easy, but I know you wouldn’t want to give up easily either.
Oh! I am close to my breaking point. I have no energy left in me to spend. I know this voice rings out so loud and you probably think of this, so I would say, you never know your limit until you push harder. It is funny how far you can go, from the point at which you thought was the end. Push! Press Until Something Happens.
When a door is locked, you use the key. When a door is closed, you press the handle, except you are dealing with an automated door. For reference sake, let’s assume it isn’t an automated door. There is a level of force that it requires for you to open it. In life you have to press, you have to push and you have to do with the whole of your might. There are some doors here where you see instructions that ask you to “Push”. If you don’t push well, it might hit you hahaha. Situations don’t respond until we push, and to get a better result, it has to be a harder push.
When life gets confusing, push. Push through your pains, push through those barriers. They can only limit you to the extent to which you can allow them. Push through those hurts, push through that heartbreak. In whatever you do, don’t stop fighting. Keep pushing.
Life gives you both doses so you have to push
We sometimes want to skip process and rush
We love enjoying those compliments and blush
Life comes heavily sometimes with heavy flow to flush
All in a bid to make us give up, lose our voice and hush
You have to muster all the strength in you and push
Life responds to pressure and with right pressure things give way
Life sometimes don’t give you what you deserve but what you demand
To demand means to set appropriate actions on course
You are not as terrible as you think
Those situations are not as bad as you think
Stand on your feet, stay up and fight
I didn’t tell you it would be easy, but you will be glad you did.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

If you don't push, you don't expect. If you don't fight, you don't win. If you are failing and you are not giving up, you are not a failure. A failure is the one who quites after failing.
A falling state is an indication that their is a rising state, giving up would make you to lie down flat without the hope of rising again.
Imagine a woman in the labour state who refused to push, she would continue to be groaning in her pains. Whereas, a single push would do the magic, just a push would bring a new life into existence and that would give her relief and joy.
Things don't move on their own, they need someone to move them, immediately they see someone to make an attempt, they began to move faster as if they were easy to move.
We are always closer to our breaking point than we think each time we are thinking of backing out, one can miss this golden chance if all you see is the problem and not the opportunity attached to it. The world don't celebrate those that discover problems, but we all gather to celebrate those that solve them.
Because it is not easy is the enough reason to keep pressing, with each of your effort, you are making the impossible
look possible.
Thank you @olawalium and @communitycoin for this great wisdom.
Failure is only a state of the mind. A man can be defeated and still win because it all depends on the attitude. You have spoken so well and surely love every single illustrations and words. Good one, brother. Really love it. Life will never give us what we deserve but what we demand. Just a little more push.
Thanks as always.
Thanks bro....
I'm really happy getting to read this from you today, a lot of people have lost hope while some are always pessimistic due to one reason or others which seems not to be palatable , the fact that we are still healthy and kicking really means a lot. As long as men can breathe and eyes can see there is actually no limits to could ever be achieved, all we need to do is to stay focused and believe in divine being, born to a rich family doesn't make someone successful though it might aid but what matter is actually you and me, the desire to focus and believe in our dreams cannot be over emphasize. Life itself is an unending challenge and to be successful we must be ready for war and battle the challenges' life might posses.
Take a tree for instance, a moringa leave if cut down 100times it will still rejuvenate and sprouts forth, we must never lose hope, we should always be optimistic even when it seems the going is not that smooth nor perfect.
Growing up to reach someone peak require pushing forward no matter what might seems to be the obstacles in one's way. To open a door is required a key, we have to remember that making in life depends solely on our creator and being focused on what we like doing most and commit to it with our strength.
Pushing further is key. Taking that extra step, making that extra push, most of the time, always end up being the major difference. We should be resilient and never give up. It is not always easy, but is there any other way than to give our all?
Thanks a lot brother. Been a while. I hope you are good?
Yes, just traveled, I'm preparing for service (NYSC) . Need some cash, so I went do some extra work. I'm back now. Thanks for being concerned brother, I really appreciate.
Whatever its form and type, as long as it is able to give a sense of happiness, it is the starting point for the presence of a better life. Therefore, he will try to find a way and to go through it.
Self-assertiveness is able to motivate a person in carrying out great things in his life. Take risks, change bad habits and become superior human beings. Successful people usually have a toughness that exceeds ordinary people. Usually they have a much higher self-esteem than ordinary people.
For those of you who want a better life or a more ideal success than what you've achieved right now, make sure you live in a confident attitude. Realize that the time will come where you have to act on a strong impulse from within yourself. Demonstrate your true ability and prove you as a mature person. If you believe, then whatever your activities will bring success to you.
True warriors understand that in their efforts they may have to adapt to what is happening, but their robustness and their ability to become resilient human beings make an extraordinary figure. They understand very well that the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is not on whether they make mistakes, but on their attitude and response to failure.
Resilience!. That is key. I really enjoyed this and more so, this:
We should make that extra effort, because extra efforts always count. There is a thin line between success and failure. Just a little more push.
Thanks a lot as always. Duly appreciated.
Push.....is all about staying positive my dear @olawalium the more you stay affirmative of the situation it results in more success or more way to get through. The barriers are in our mind only....a positive can cross any barrier if he stay positive.
Its goos too see your life post for @communitycoin. It gives many lessons to live life freely......keep it up👍
Thank you for this my friend. I enjoy reading from you. You are right and i love this: "The barriers are in our minds only. A positive cab cross any barrier if he stays positive". It means the answer is only in our ability to stay positive and not break in the face of challenges. We need to push further and harder. Thanks a lot.

We need to stretch. We must go beyond the obvious limit. Only those who go extra miles and do extra things get more out of life. We can't just sit back and fold our hands. We have to be deliberate. We need to push. It requires an effort from us. We must not be a spectator in our life's journey. I enjoyed this and thanks @communitycoin and @olawalium
Absolutely. Thanks sir
Things can't just be good until you try to make it good, as long as we breathe, there will always be solution,just never stop try more and more and opportunities would come
Yes, keep trying, keep pushing, never give up. Persistence makes the nail go through the wood, with the hammer. Push a little more. You will be surprised how far you can go from the point you thought was the end. Thanks a lot brother.
Accepting failure as part of learning can soften the negative self-talk that we are somehow “bad” for failing. Failure might mean we’ve actually tried to do something new; embraced a new venture. It might be preparation for future success.
When there is life, there is hope. Never say never. All you need is just a little more effort.
PUSH
Exactly. Just a little more effort. Thanks a lot brotherly.
Reading your posts gives a kind of boost
Yeah.. It's not easy but it better to start something and be exhausted from working than doing absolutely nothing
Absolutely. Thank you so much for this, and for your kind words.
