You’re Not Alone: Finding Hope When Life Tests You
Live in a life where it is never a smooth way. Life can test you, life can break you, life can reward you, and life can heal you. Even to those you admire, they don't always have things figured out every time. There are some moments they also want to feel like giving up, but they keep pushing no matter what because they are at the top.
So if you have ever felt like you are struggling, let me tell you that as far as you are still breathing, you are not alone. Everyone goes through the same struggle in a different way.
When you think about it, you know the heroes we keep looking up to, the role models, the artists, the celebrities. They aren't aiming to struggle or doubt. Sometimes they are nice. They doubt their belief. They doubt their self. They wonder if they have even done enough.
Sometimes they face criticism online and they feel like committing suicide. They face setbacks that have made them question who they truly are, yet they keep pushing. Also, you too. Life can just test you no matter where you are. It doesn't care whether you are starting at all. You have already made it big. Life will continue to test you.
That is why we say challenge does not discriminate you. It does not choose the poor only. It chooses both the poor and the rich. But it's how we respond to these challenges is what differentiates us. It's what differentiates the winners from the losers.
Maybe it's just that job you lost. Or you received a heartbreak from a relationship that you've invested so much. Or you're just in a situation where nothing seems to go as planned. Those moments you can feel very heavy in your heart and feel like the world is against you and you are the only one passing through this heartbreak.
But no, here's the thing. Those are the tests that you are going through some process. And this is the way of the universe telling you that. This is the way the universe is trying to ask you how bad you really want it. Do you know that you can be stuttered like you think?
This is not just a motivational post. It's like trying to tell you that every time life hits you with challenges, you always have choice. Either you stay down or try to get yourself back up. And every time you choose to keep rising, you're building power, you're building resilience. You're trying to prove to yourself that you can handle everything.
So when you look back at those times that you survived, this moment that you thought would break you in half, you are still strong, aren't you? This is not luck. This is about you choosing you.
You are not alone in this struggle. Everyone begins to fight all this. They are about you. And even though they don't show it, sometimes people around you might not talk, but those people you follow around you, there are days that they keep struggling. But because of who they are, they just hide it and don't reveal it because it makes them or makes people see them as weak people.
Don't be surprised when you go through some life challenges. That is why there is power in connection. Knowing that others are following the same path that you walk and come as stronger. That should be your motivation.
When life begins to test you, and you always remember this, that you don't have to lose hope. It doesn't matter whether you're failing or not. It means that you are human. And you need to take that deep breath. Give yourself a chance. Give yourself a breathing space. Take a step at a time. And know that you're never alone in this.
You are going to succeed. And you are going to come out stronger.
