Skyscraper

There’s a saying, "don’t let anyone to bring you down. Be yourself and ignore negativity. “As a motivated individual, every one of us has a best version of ourselves to show we are capable to do anything and to upright ourselves from others.

In our existence, we can’t avoid to encounter those individual who drag us down into dark abyss. It is like a dead rising from the grave and pull us down into the dark hollow. However, it doesn't mean we let them to sink us into the deepest and dark hole. We live here on purpose, and obviously not to entertain them.

Some of us are fortunately work to those fast growing economic environment wherein those lofty building were proudly erected on the ground as if they possessed a great powers and king among the other elevated architectonic. Like a skyscraper, it is erected on the ground with a strong foundation to support the super structure of the building. The steel and the concrete beams are the components to create a strong foundation to carry the weight of the superstructure. It also purposely assured to able to hold off the strong wind. Like a tree during the stormy days wherein it can handle to swing a few meters in each direction without damaging the structure. Sometimes, steel core rises upward from the inside the building to give it supports. Thus, as special God's creation in this world we incorporate these particular things in our life. How? This certain question answers that vague gist of the reality of life.

 Skyscraper stands for us in concept of the time of adversities and a chaotic predicament. At the same time, when our fellow human being look us down like a little speck. Those steel cores represent our faith within ourselves to achieve of what we want in the midst of social criticism. We always bear in mind that we should stand with confidence in this chaotic diversity. Life never runs smooth as we thought, and there are a lot of inhibitions we encounter during the time we spread our wing and fly like an eagle soaring in the clear sky. Particularly, there are some without you even bragging who might jealous of what we accomplished. They gradually drag us down until we cripple on the ground as long as it gives happiness to them. Nevertheless, fight back and keep going.

Are you familiar with the song skyscraper by Demi Lovato particularly the repeated chorus, “You can't take everything that I have; you can break everything I am. Like, I'm made of glass; like I’m made of paper.  Go on and tear me down. I'll be rising from the ground like a skyscraper." The implications of this particular song is that whatever people might saying or destroy our good name with slander, still we continue to strive in this unbearable journey into our destination. Even though they stepped us on our whole human being, still we endeavor and never listened to their discouragement piece. As I've mentioned, a strong foundation supports the super structure of the building. Likely, these strong foundation is our faith and believing in our self with the guidance of our beloved Supreme Being. 

As sacred scriptures say, “a hateful person disguises himself with his speech and harbor deceit within. When he speaks graciously, don’t believe on him, for there are seven abominations in his heart. Though, hatred is concealed by deception, his evil will be revealed in the assembly. (Proverb 26:24-26).

Eventually, people will make you feel weak and difficult to endeavor; and things like that don't give up on you. Fight them until the end because when you believe in yourself and the things you're doing will get right. If you give up for yourself, you never have a great life you dream and you'll stay weak and loser forever. Strength and achievement cannot be justified how big or small the person is. It depends on the person on how to strive to bring home the beacon.
