Not giving up when you are healthy and strong is much easier than when you are weak and down. Difficulties and challenges often come when you are not ready for them at all. When you seem to have neither physical nor spiritual strength left. When you are lying on your knees after the obstacles of life you have just overcome and you are begging in your mind for at least a little break...
Oh, in the meantime, life decides that you are ready for the next lesson. But you can't seem to get up... Tears accumulate in your eyes and your lips quiver from fatigue. However, the realization that, in the face of such circumstances, you are educated a hundred times stronger, frees you and makes it easier to accept your trials.
The only question is whether you have the backbone of your spirit and what it is... Who do you pray to, who do you trust and who pulls you out of hell when you accidentally start falling into it... Do you only believe in what you see with your eyes or don't you trust their limitations? You can overcome everything if you carry and nurture faith... Faith heals, faith revives, faith brings a new quality to life... If you don't have it, you don't seek it, you don't want it - it will be almost impossible not to give up.
No matter what happens, never lose hope. Even if black thoughts torment you from morning to night. Even if the circumstances become unbearable for the mind. Even if your legs bend and your hands shake - you, in no way, lose hope. Hope will pull you like an anchor into the light from the darkest depths of life. It will comfort you when the words of others are powerless. It will dispel your loneliness and give you faith where until now there was a burnt, soulless emptiness.
Do not look for hope in the unfathomable distance. Look at the center of your heart. It is much closer than you expected. Realize that life does not end while you are breathing. Do not be afraid of the future, even if it is very difficult now.
No one said that difficulties will repeat themselves constantly. Trust the highest power that created you and pay attention to what you desire, because where your attention is, there you are. And don't believe if someone says that hope is the mother of fools. It's not true! Hope is the mother of the strongest ones. Those who patiently sail the stormy ocean of life, not seeing the shore, but deeply believing that they will eventually reach it.
With love, @Luana.
