How was your life so far?

Hello Ennaihl! I will be a total liar if I say that I had not experienced a fair share of disappointments in life..some of them big even. I had been down and out at the time when I just lost my job, my father quit his and my mother suffered stroke (her second attack). I am the eldest in the family and at that time I felt like I am such a loser..I cannot support my family. Back then, I was depressed and I even blamed God for my family's misfortune. It was after a period of total despair, I cried and I called out to HIM. It is then that I realized that I just need to unload my burdens to HIM and He will do the rest. My life then made a 360 degrees turn and I develop a sense of optimism that life would get better from thereon. It always pays to have a positive outlook in life. When in distress, count all the blessings that you have received and hope that one day, opportunity will come knocking on your door..all it takes is a big leap of faith..to God and to yourself. Every once in a while I do experience screw ups..after all, I am still human. I still have things that I needed to do and accomplishments that I wanted to achieve. But generally though, I am quite happy. I do hope that you get to have that inner drive and purpose to be happy. I believe that you'll get there. Just believe in yourself and do whatever you can to reach your goals.

Thank you so much, you know what it really helped me a lot. You are right all we really need to do is trust in HIM...surrender everything to HIM... Thank you it inspires me anyway... :))

I am glad that I get to be a source of inspiration to you. I am genuinely hoping that you get the solutions to all of your problems. Just hold on tight my friend..cause help is on it's way! Have a blessed day always!

Yes, that's very true. We learn from our mistakes and careful never to commit the same mistakes again in the future.

You are truly and beautifully blessed Simplyd. We all have various struggles in life. Problems exist to make or break us. It all depends on our outlook and ability to make the best out of whatever life offers us. What we are now today results on what we decide during our past. It is always good to make a constant inventory on the blessings that we are currently enjoying. With that when we are faced with problems, we get to always remember that we have a support system: our loved ones and our ability to stand after a fall.

I admire your being open-mindedness and your ability to be accomodating to each and everyone. I admit that I am quite reserved and only have had a handful of people whom i considered friends. I have been stabbed at the back at the past by a so called "friend". That experience made me learn to be more cautious with my friends.

Hello mods..thank you for your insight on this topic. I know that we could get so caught up with our environment..we get really annoyed with the bad happenings and we tend to react negatively about it. Who could blame us? We are but humans and as humans, we care what happens in our surroundings. But in these times though, we need to have that sense of inner peace so that we can fully accept that there are some things in our surroundings that we cannot change. That whether or not we exist, these certain "happenings" or situation will continue to take place. Like it or not, we need to live with the fact that these situations do come and go. So while they are at it, we might at least have the sense to focus on whats more relevant in our own lives rather than get caught up with feeling crappy about it. I do hope that you get to overcome your feeling of helplessness when it comes to accepting the harsh realities in life that you do not have any control of. I trust that in due time you will be able to conquer your fears and overcome all your troubles. And with God's help, I know that it is only a matter of time.. :)
