Sometimes, life and its happenings make me think am not doing enough for myself. And yet there are occasions when I am also proud of my resilience to sail through. The bad days leave me feeling awful about myself, but what matters is how I cope with them.
There are times when situations become overwhelming. However, that is the way life is. Life throws challenges at us to make us realise our worth. Sometimes one feels life is testing one’s patience. But each difficult situation has something to teach me that will turn me into a better person.
Peaceful life is not the one that does not have issues but is the life that is marked by the presence of the resilience to face them.
I know that every person is grappling with his/her struggles and all may not be visible. Life is not a competition or does not have the goal but is a journey where there are various routes, delays and discoveries. It is in the bad time in which that we learn who is on our side, who knows us and who really cares.
We are not born with skills to handle problems, but with time and experience we tend to learn.
