Roller coaster…
My friend recently made a really interesting statement on his Facebook. It went:
Life is a roller coaster... Just gotta ride it
And I'm like, "Hey, that's very true actually." Life, like a roller coaster, is full of ups and downs. Life is not just good all the time, nor is it just spiralling down. There will be high points in life, as well as low points. Like he said, you just have to ride it. Get on the roller coaster. Have you fun while in those situations. You go down, but there will be a hill up ahead. Just have to stick it out and wait for it. Roller coasters are there for your enjoyment aren't they? Life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
Then, another person made an interesting comment to on that update. It went:
But sometimes you fly out of it and die.
And again, true isn't it? Life can really throw you around just like in a roller coaster. And at times people do get derailed. The momentum and movement of it all thrashing them. But, you only fly out of the roller coaster if you didn't put on your safety belt! Or if you didn't fasten them properly. In our own life, the safety belt is like boundaries that we live by, the guidelines. It inhibits our movements somewhat, stopping us from moving freely like standing up during a ride. Same as boundaries we put in our lives. They stop us from doing things that we shouldn't, stopping absolute freedom. The reason safety belts and boundaries are there, are to keep us safe first and foremost. They stop us from doing crazy things that will ultimately harms us. Or quite literally, cause us to fall out of the roller coaster of life and die.
Another thing, or more accurately a person, that safety belts can also represent is God. He is the security that keeps us from harm, as long as we choose to listen to Him and follow Him.
So, life is a roller coaster ride, with all its ups and downs. There will be bumpy rides in life, as well as times that we enjoy and cherish. Whatever the ride has to offer, just buckle your seat belt, and enjoy the ride....
