If there is no struggle in one’s life, then you are not alive. Nobody has a perfect life but we all have one thing in common – ‘struggle’.
If I look back and try to identify the happiest moments of my life then they would be the struggling days of my life. Sometimes, fighting for funds or finances, sometimes, searching for a good job and now an endless struggle against painJ but somewhere all these small or big struggles made me a stronger person. There are times, when you are broken but then again you start walking on a new path in a new directionJ.
Few inspiring words by Sidney Lanier -
My soul is like the oar that momently
Dies in a desperate stress beneath the wave,
Then glitters out again and sweeps the sea:
Each second I'm new-born from some new grave.
Dies in a desperate stress beneath the wave,
Then glitters out again and sweeps the sea:
Each second I'm new-born from some new grave.
When you encounter ‘struggle’ in life, there are three ways we might act –
1.) Contemplate ‘future’
2.) Compare our ‘lives’ with ‘others’
3.) Look back and grieve over the past
Honestly, all the three ways to fight your struggle will not show you the way out of it. The best solution to any problem is ‘ignore it’. Think of it is as an opportunity to learn and explore something new about your strength and capacity to handle challenges. From soldier to a common man, we all are born to struggle in our own ways. From mother to being childless, you are born to listen and encounter strugglesJ
If I would not have struggled in my life, I would not have been what I am.
Everything comes with a price tag but it depends at what price you want to buy it.
Buy your struggle at a lower price by ignoring it and exploring new aspects of your personality.
Buy your happiness at a higher price by living in present and enjoying each bit of your life to the fullest.
Saying ‘Goodbye’ to this week for a great weekendJ
