Challenges in life

─────────────────────

The phrase 'Life is unpredictable' might be something you've heard for a long time now and it might be vexing, but you have to accept the fact that the message is right. What is going to happen the next day, or even the next second, is unpredictable. There might be a very important event of your life that you might have planned out ages ago but a small unforeseen matter could be ruining that. And in reversal, an insignificant something could also blow up in the future, making everyone gape. So where's the lie in the bothersome statement we've grown up hearing? Nowhere.

Life is a series of challenges, which we'll have to overcome continuously, and there's no such thing as the last. Sitting on your couch, you may heave a sigh of relief, proud of yourself that you tackled a big issue, but there could be a stronger wave of problems coming for you, ready to throw you into a different maze. So at this point, we can say that life is one of the synonyms of 'challenge'. But what many people misunderstand about unfavored issues is that they can't overcome them and it would be a difficult time, which doesn't have any impact on their future. Well, know what? They're wrong. Each challenge brings with it a lesson, a lesson for us to learn and improve ourselves in the future. After many years pass, you might be looking back at your most hard time and the way you tackled it might be seen as a piece of cake then. What do you think is the reason, if not a life lesson?

Infants find walking and talking the most difficult, and kindergarteners find learning alphabets and making friends tough. There starts the insecurities, seeing things other people have that we don't have. Then we grow up and reach middle school, where insecurities grow larger when we have to face new obstacles and challenges. At high school comes the big change, a spree of changes inside us and the environment, where we strive to be trusted, and that is the age when we begin experimenting with love. Then comes college, the season where we prioritise choosing the right major for ourselves rather than choosing the right people to be around. Following that is employment. Stress. Adult life. We're barely established after going through thick and thin but people already expect us to be settled down. We keep growing older and life seems to be getting more difficult. This is how each and every person goes through entirely different predicaments at different stages of their lives. No two people face the same challenges, yet their strive is the same. A person may tend to think someone else's problem might seem easier to solve than theirs, but it will be equally strenuous and distressing when they're the one facing it.

Challenges are a part of every human's life and to overcome it is the beauty life offers us. Just like the different kinds of problems different people deal with, each and everyone has a different way of facing their problems. Bravery lies in the building and the courage in stepping up and meeting the challenge with all might instead of being a curled up mouse. It is natural to feel fearful at points but confidence is the key to overcome that stumbling block. Self-confidence is okay, but at some point, it shouldn't turn into overconfidence, which leads to arrogance. And you have to remember that feeling scared doesn't mean you're weak. Because you're strong, strong enough to face the problem, and not let go. Strong enough, because you won't let yourself think otherwise. Fear can result in two ways. One, you can make it your strength to come out stronger than ever, or two, you can use it as an excuse to escape from your responsibilities.

A famous saying is that "Sometimes you gotta get through your fears to see the beauty on the other side!" As it says, It completely depends on you what kind of person you want to be. Inspiration and strength can't be provided. It must come from within you. It doesn't matter what others think about your situation and your ability to tackle it. They don't define you. What matters is the fact that you know you're strong and you're willing to give your all.

Failure and success are the two faces of the coin named challenge. They both aren't visible at the same time, but as the two sides of a coin, those two are what lead us to success. Also, remember that it's not easy to succeed every time. There will be a time when we fail and we feel like ending it all because no one cares. But you'll have to remind yourself that even if no one cares, you do. It can be difficult, but you have to assure yourself to face it. Failure is bitter, you won't feel motivated, and you'll feel dispirited and burdened, but it's not the end. When you feel like giving up, look back at all your achievements; recall all the hardships you faced. You will know that everything is worth it. Brace yourself for a new beginning and start anew, keep trying until you succeed and someday, all of your hard work will pay off.

Remember, the motto of life is to 'always be ready to face a challenge, always be courageous even in fear, never give up and keep trying until you succeed and never lose hope!' With that being said, I hope you put this into actual practice!
