Co-create life accepting the struggles
Struggles are always temperary in fact they actually build strength in us. Even a child becomes stronger only by facing challenges by never giving up which is why life is indeed the greatest university of all that never gives up on us. This is indeed how life was designed. Let us move accepting them as challenges to be completely happy in the journey of life. There are many with all the material wealth one could wish for yet remain depressed and unhappy. Some others remain happy anf joyous despite many challenges life throws at them. These are the ones who often become eternal inspirations for all.
It does not make sense to fight with life. What makes sense is accepting the cards that were dealt to us and then do our best. Many great stories have emerged from this approach. Hence, let us walk with life that shall always take us on the right path knowing both our strenghts and weaknesses. We indeed know ourselves the best of all so we should indeed write our script. We are indeed our life’s co-creator and director. This is the life that was uniquely designed for us. So let us walk on this with hope and faith to remain inspirations for all. This does not happen automatically but gradually. We should just remember never to give up but walk with persistence and determination. Doing this, we may even surprise ourselves as victors are indeed born out of struggles in life. This is depicted often in history too. Indeed, this is what the learning of history is meant to do. This history could be personal, societal or national but the message is the same indeed.
"Struggles don't last forever." This is a powerful reminder that challenges, no matter how difficult, are temporary. Here’s a perspective on resilience, faith, and hope to reinforce this truth:
1. Life’s Struggles Are Temporary
-
Every hardship has an expiration date. Just as storms pass, so do life’s difficulties. All religions say the same thing
-
Quran 94:5-6 – "Verily, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease."
-
Bible (2 Corinthians 4:17) – "Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
2. Growth Comes Through Struggle
-
Trials strengthen faith, build character, and teach patience.
-
Hadith (Muslim): "A believer is like a plant—the wind bends it but never uproots it."
-
Hindu teaching (Bhagavad Gita): "The soul is indestructible; only the body can be harmed. Rise above pain with wisdom."
3. Faith & Persistence Lead to Breakthroughs
-
Trust in God (or your inner strength) and keep moving forward.
-
Sikhism (Guru Nanak): "Even in the darkest night, the Divine Light is with you."
-
Buddhism: "Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." (Mindset shapes endurance.)
4. You Are Stronger Than You Think
-
Many before you have faced struggles and overcome them—so can you.
-
Proverb: "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors."
5. This Too Shall Pass
-
A timeless wisdom found in many traditions—no situation is permanent.
Essentially, we need to remember always, the universe is our friend that always supports us.
