Thanks for sharing :)
From time to time, I will feel weak and helpless, and then it is when I lowered my expectation of myself that I start to feel better.
And I tell myself, things which are happening to me, be it good or bad happens for a reason, and that reason, depending on what meaning I give it, and what action I take, determines my ultimate destiny.
Sometimes bad stuffs happen to me, and in that moment I may feel down. But after sometime, I realized it is a blessing in disguise as I am offered something even better.

I also remember 2 powerful quotes from Tony Robbins:

1. Life do not happen to you, it happens for you
2. People overestimate what they can do in a year, but they underestimate what they can do in 10 years.

What you shared is inspiring :)
