The road of life is one that begins with darkness; in the
womb and of course ends in darkness; the grave. I think I read this in a Robin
Sharma book “when you came in the world,
you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you
die, the world cries and you rejoice”.
There is a wedding in the family and yesterday in the first
event of the program, they sang a song in remembrance of dad; I am certain he
rejoiced while I definitely cried!
Life is never a flat ground; ups and lows are a part of life
where we must suffer and burn to shine as well as enjoy the marvels for the
time they last. I am a low right now; work being the central cause of stress,
an MBA that I have to finish because Dad wanted me to and so does Mom, loneliness
that has been my companion for ages, taking responsibility for the home after
dad and managing finances; something I wasn’t good at and probably still
aren’t, giving time to myself as well as family, etc. I am literally
overwhelmed and swamped but I have faith that He who is above all else will
lift me up high, if not fly but I won’t have to walk the battle alone. I have
faith that He shall be with and by me all the time.
My life has been challenging, like a lot of people but that
is what life is meant to be, isn’t it? I have not drowned and that is one thing
that I am so dearly grateful for. What is ironic is every time I hit a low, I
think to myself wow this one is a tough one and will I make it? – next thing I
know is months have passed and I am writing about how I fought the situation
and I know a thing or two about struggling and never giving up. The same is
today that I do not know when and how I will get past through this or what life
holds for me for tomorrow but I am going to hope that it is for the better and
that I will survive i.t me He give strength.
I am glad to have written something down today; I feel I needed to do so. I wrote because it isn’t the pleasant of times of life.
I want to conclude this article with a and image and the
caption I used on my page yesterday that I snapped in Dubai.
Peace,
Champ!
