Ever heard of the new street slang “Try Dey enjoy, problem no Dey finish”?. Well, it simply means live your best life in the moment because life will always bring more struggles to tackle. Everything you need to live your best life is on the other side of your anxiety. Anxiety is a feeling of worry or unease. An anxious person constantly worries and fears the outcome of the present and the latter. The truth is, everybody is anxious and nobody has all the answers. The earlier you understand that you have no control over how life goes, the better you get over yourself , move on and start to live your best life.
Anxiety weighs you down, it’s steals you away from the moment. Anxiety creates more problems than there already is. You can’t sit somewhere all day and wait for your challenges and struggles to be over before doing other things in life. There’s more to life and more to explore than wallowing in struggles. Life is difficult? Yes. Does problems ever end? No. What do you need to do? Live your best life.
we are here for a good time, not a long time, so make every minute count.
