To despair or to shine in times of difficulties?

Very often, people like to tell us that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of despair and disappointment. Yes, that makes sense. But in real life, how many of us can actually embrace this fact and engrave it deep into our hearts and souls?

In times of difficulties and disappointment, not only we tend to lose sight of our own capabilities and self confidence, we also loose hope and happiness. Likely, we restrict our own ability, undermine our own capability and confine our infinite mentality within a finite sphere. Eventually we'll break down, we become despair, depress and live through our daily lives at a lowest, pathetic level, without realising that it is actually our minds and emotions that restrict us from moving forward triumphantly.

Why would we so easily let go, allowing our mind and souls to get into self destructive mode and negatively affecting our lives - our work, our personal relationships, our sense of security, our self-worth and our appearance? Why can't we control our toughts, manage our emotions and avoid getting knocked down painfully. Is this how we are suppose to grow and learn? How are we able and ready to get back up and strive on? Can we manage the finite disappointment without losing our infinite hope in life? Well, these are tough questions that only we could search our souls and answer them for ourselves.

At the end of the day, it is only with strong mental strength and with character to manage and overcome despair and disappointment, we could bring up and reflect special self attractiveness and personal values to self and others. It is only when we could overcome our own inferiority complex and grip our courage, that we can realize our potentialities to self and others! Ultimately, this is a self breakthrough that's worth a challenge at least once in our life time!

Take courage and all the best.
