<p>When expectations rise, but the results don’t show…</p><p>What next?
</p><p>When life tosses us around with illusions of positivity
</p><p>What next?
</p><p>How can we rise again when we fall?
</p><p>What more can we do to make it big?
</p><p>When books, friends, and family fail
</p><p>What next?
</p><p>How do we get back on track when we run out of course?
</p><p>When we see ourselves in the ugliest of situations,
</p><p>We wait, we cry, we seek earnestly for salvation
</p><p>But find none.
</p><p>Oh… how can we get back up?
</p><p>When the world, our families, friends, acquaintances
</p><p>oh, even our perky friends
</p><p>look up to us for something great and wonderful,
</p><p>yet we find ourselves stuck in a truckload of failure…
</p><p>Oh, how can we get back up?
</p><p>It’s painful. It’s sickening. It’s demoralizing</p><p>When our expectations are dashed.</p><p>What is the way out?
</p><p>Who can help us out?
</p><p>I write out of pain, real pain.
</p><p>My heart sinks when I think of home: of Mom. Dad. Church. Friends.</p><p>Of course, it shouldn’t be so.
</p><p>But the journey of life feels straight and precise,
</p><p>yet it’s riddled with unpredictable turns.
</p><p>Who knows what lies at the next corner, when we make a sharp turn?</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/pexels-eyupcan-timur-424989336-23893583.jpg" alt=""></p><p>But listen…
</p><p>There is always a way out of every creepy situation.
</p><p>There is always a way out of every heartbreaking experience.
</p><p>There is always a way out of every torturing habit.
</p><p>Seek the truth and you will find it.
</p><p>Oh… how can we get back up?</p><p><strong>Even in silence, the heart learns to stand.</strong></p><p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
