We are all witnesses of how complex
this life is. Every day – we have to make decisions, we have to deal with
problems, and we have to face judgments. It’s the nature of life – dreams and
tests, triumphs and downfalls, despairs and delights.
But when tough junctures
approach, when our fate is in our hands, we pause in the crossroads and consider
the fact of termination. We have experienced this not just once or twice; and
luckily, we’re still here – breathing and existing.
Challenges are inevitable.
One cannot pick a flawless life, where red carpet is laid down the waxed and polished
staircase. Maybe God really designed our life with a dazzle of imperfections;
for us not just to conquer it for nothing, but to instill, inspire, and mold us.
Some people fail to see the
purpose of challenges – they give up. Sadly, people who had piled-up-discouragements
terminated, committing suicide. These people had great dreams for their selves,
family and friends, and also vast challenges stopped them. They could have been
the hope of their families, they could have been an asset in their companies.
They could have been the leaders of their nations, they could have been the
changers of the history.
Challenges will shape one to
be a resilient person. In the days of adversary, the only choice left for that
somebody is to bounce back; shake off the defeats, downfalls, worries, pains, bitterness,
rejections, hurts, offenses, negativities, and even those seemingly tolerable
but sharp and upsetting prejudices. Victim mentality and the infamous I-can’t mind
set will certainly bring one nowhere-and when I say certainly, know that I am
full of assurance and I myself, am very convinced. Therefore, at the end of the
day, the only option is to fight and press on towards the goal. This is how we
wrestle with life.
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
