Trust me, it's not that Bad!!

“The same potato that hardens the egg, softens the potato!”

The above quote is not only beautiful but it also makes so much sense in the world we live in today!

We, as humans have been given extraordinary abilities to deal with various situations that come in our life. These situations can sometime go extremely intense and that is when The Almighty starts taking our test, that we commonly refer to as 'The Hard Times'.

There is no such thing in this world called darkness, it’s just the absence of light. There must have been a million instances in your life when you must have blamed God for the sufferings you’ve gone through, blamed him for all the unfortunate events that took place, blamed him for all that’s wrong with your life.

I won’t give you the generic reply that ‘No, it all depends on you about how you shape up your life’ (although that’s 90% of the time). What I need you to know here is a pretty harsh truth that life has taught me and the ones who’re close to me. However antagonistic to my general writings it may sound but it’s a bitter truth that not everything in this world has an answer even if you really keep looking.

The biggest example is a new born baby suffering from as dangerous an illness as cancer. Is there an answer as to why a child who hasn’t yet seen anything in this world nor has he/she done any wrong towards anyone has to go through such a lot of sufferings. Too many innocent kids out there who have absolutely no hopes of a two time meal are suffering from such inabilities. 

Is that justified? Does God have an answer as to why these kids have been suffering such dangerous and life taking diseases and disorders? Does this question His administration or His definition of justice?

I, up till now in my life (or anybody in my connections) have not got the satisfactory answers to these questions. However, if you have any answers then please do write them in the comments below. Again, I know most of us think it’s something to do with their previous life’s sins (or what not), then why does God have to carry over their sins in the next birth? I am a strong believer of God, but when I see those poor, unfortunate parents asking the same desperate questions, I’m all numb!

Maybe, there doesn’t have to be an answer to everything in life.

However, that’s not exactly what I want you to learn from this article. I guess what I’m trying to suggest to you is the fact that instead of finding answers to such rhetorical questions of life, we should just start working towards what gives us the solution and the way out from such tense situations. 

There are people suffering from such deadly catastrophes and yet they refuse to give up! Isn’t that inspiring? A poor man taking his 90 year old father to the hospital, in search of some more life that God might have granted him.... isn’t that just amazing? The value of life is way beyond measure and even if there’s no hope we still fight it out to survive.... Why? Because, Life is precious!

 And even after knowing all these people’s sufferings, the value of life, the struggles so many people are going through.... we pity that one person in the mirror who’s either going through a breakup, failure in business, failure in exams, and even failure in things that hardly matter. Pity, for some time is fine but Giving Up? Giving Up is a crime!

Whenever you go through such situations in life ladies and gentleman, be it as big a failure (God forbid) as in your marriage, business, etc. just don’t lose faith! Remember when you’re trying to survive in the market somebody else somewhere is trying to survive in the world and is experiencing so much more pain than you! If he hasn’t refused to give up, then why can’t you!

Your failure might have a reason, those innocent souls don’t even deserve what they’re going through! Just remember if those who do not have any hope are fighting to survive then why not me?

Why can I not do things that others so easily can? Why can I not wake up early in the morning? Why can I not rebuild my empire? Why can I not be the best artist there ever was? Why can I not live a life that creates history? Why can I not be phenomenal?

Those are the questions that you should ask to yourself because when you’ll challenge yourself and come up with flying colours through your great work even God will respect you! Those questions that do not have an answer.... just forget them, maybe some things are better hidden!

Just keep believing in yourself and turn every situation into your favour. Go ahead, Be legendary! ;)
