Overcoming Life's Storms

In the context of life, it can be stated that it is a process full of ups and downs. It’s during these difficult lows, or what they undergo ‘trough periods,’ where the strength and the character are developed.

Just like the sun breaks through the clouds, keep this up. These are not the times when one needs to surrender instead these are the times you need to gather strength to move ahead.

Tiredness, both of the mind and body, is a frequent friend that follows one on this path. It is a great pity, but people are constantly experiencing some level of comparison and, as a result, doubting themselves.

But let's be clear: this is to mean that your worth is in no way decided on the basis of other people’s decisions. Everyone's journey is unique. They have also emphasized the fact that people should not focus on achieving the goal set, but on the improvement that one is making.

Rest is essential. It is not a symbol of weakness, it is quite an essential tool that is required to modify and regain strength. That must have been a lot of hard work getting to this point; don’t be harsh on yourself. Remember, setbacks are temporary. Yes, all cycles that nature endures are also reflected in our own lives; we go through cycles of regular restorative regeneration.

Cultivate a positive mindset. Stay around appealing things and powerful ideas. Let go of the negative and hone in on the positives that can be achieved. It is instrumental to work hard regardless of the circumstances that are encountered in the process of achieving the objectives.

Your past laziness is wisdom that was harvested in the dunghill of foolishness and not a curse to be executed on you. Each and every move that has been made so far is producing its fruit, bit by bit.

Time is a healer. Trust in the process. Spring follows winter inevitably. Growth and change are the two companions that a person cannot avoid because they are a universal truth. The gourmet’s story aptly summarized by Maupassant is a reminder that the real world is not always as picture-perfect or as terrible as it appears to be. It is about getting back into the light, and into the swing of things while getting a different perspective.

The movie is all about instances that make people feel powerless at some point in their lives. But it is during such times that one finds out what a person is made of. It’s only when we grow up that we come through to the fact that control, at some point, is just but an optical illusion. Still, we have to do our utmost.

In conclusion, one can state that your life is a sequence of events or a series of connected experiences. It appears that who you are at any given moment, who you are when you look in the mirror, is defined by what happens to you, by what you do, every single day.

Never allow yourself to be placed in a box whereby every time you are set back you are re-defined. Be open to changes make the best out of it, and do not dwell too much on the difficulties encountered in the process. This is to remind us that consistency is the key to success, and self-discipline, positivity with hard work make it durable.

Therefore, breathe. There is so much inside of you that you don’t know you have the capacity to do. It is time to rewrite this chapter as if you and I are using this book.

Thank you for reading!
