BORN TO CHALLENGE ; FOR THE GOLD
PAUL MICHAEL ALERIA (Ondoy)
We all have different stories to tell and assorted life events to reminisce about. Some are gigantically momentous; others are just plain trivial. Nevertheless, one thing resembles each of us. It's the fairest illustrative lesson that we pick from the meanest experience, because the best lesson is learned through the worst.
This story is another compelling account to be cherished, about a teenage boy whose life is truly of great significance to others who are in despair of verging on grief or, at worst, suicidal, due to hopelessness and an inexorable disgraceful act of fear in facing the blazing tests of time. To fully grasp the bittersweet rollercoaster ride of his life, let us soak in for a minute to run one's eye over.
Michael was a second family son of her mom. He has a younger brother named Mark. They are both young teens at the moment and assiduous in their studies. While both of them love basketball, Michael is a musician and is soon to be an architect. On the other hand, Mark is a senior high school student and plans to take up criminology by preference in the near future.
Predictably, they're just a typical sibling; nonetheless, their feats in life are undue to their age. Their father was a good provider as if life was a bed of roses then, until their father got sick of stroke, and sadly, that made him unfit to work anymore. Thus, their family was plunged into irrepressible suffering.
Since they were too young to work on their own at the time, their utterly appalling situation demanded that they sell their properties. They had lost every possible profitable stuff and became flat-broken. Their mom, notwithstanding, could not contain the misfortune they'd been confined to and resorted to diving into an illicit act. Consequently, that aggravated their circumstances greatly. It seemed like they were weighed down to the botomless point, helplessly by an unseen force.
Following soon was the emergent plan of transferring them to their province. Heedless of what future had instore, Michael and Mark bound to Bohol in the hope of having them take the edge off of a tight spot. But it all seemed quite far-fetched. Yes, worse than expected, they got poked in the sinking sand of uncertainty and misery. The idea did not help them out of their current predicament, however.
The stringent treatment and stiff rules in the house where they reside, brought about somber demeanor and discomfort in dealing with their relatives. The emotional trauma due to separation from family , and the drastic bullying by their classmates, were all too much to bear for the siblings. Hence, Michael was about to surrender by pleading death to stricken his life. That was how depressed he was. However, a divine intervention was manifested as his mom and sister fetched them up, and go back to Cebu.( As a mother I could achingly imagined how hard what they've went through..😢😥 )
From that point on, they gradually begin to shard together the lost bits that were broken . Pieces of glorious hope, unfathomable peace , renewed trust and a warrant for forgiveness.
Life is full of challenges and emotion is one factor to consider if we want to overcome it. So don't hold your emotions in. Your emotions must be respected. They won't do anything but get worse and worry you out. Why not eliminate them now, before they take control? You might practice meditation or journal your emotions. Your mental health will benefit from both of these, gain new perspective when you express your emotions and even come up with brand-new fixes to the issues you're facing.
You should be aware that you're not the only person dealing with this problem, if it comforts you. Similar, and perhaps worse, circumstances are being experienced somewhere else. Similarly, there is someone out there who overcame a similar obstacle and was successful. So be willing to hear out an andvice.
Each individual experiences comparable problems. At least one person who has experienced a comparable problem may be someone you know. Anybody from anywhere may do it—a famous person, a neighbor, a member of your extended family, etc. At this moment look for friends whom you can lean on to.
A molehill can easily become a mountain when you worry excessively about the possible results. The most frightening aspects of the trial begin to fade as you begin to concentrate on the task at hand rather than the end result. You can control the circumstance if you focus just on completing the work at hand and let go of the outcome.
Some obstacles appear to be vast and harsh, but if you stay calm and attentive, nothing is too great for you to overcome
We gain the experiences that make up our lives by overcoming obstacles and surviving them. But it's crucial to keep in mind that, no matter the issue, there is usually always a solution. Taking on challenges is a method to push ourselves and discover our potential.
Resistance to obstacles leads to the development of inner strength. As you overcome obstacles, you get stronger and stronger. The chance to progress is greatly enhanced by challenges. They put your tenacity and dedication to your objectives to the test.
It is permitted in life to experience ominous thoughts and dreadful feats, for us to learn how to face those battles courageously and take ourselves off from them.
Even if we follow a strong principle in life, fear is occasionally unavoidable; Thus, we might consider giving up. Nonetheless, we cannot let that thought tie us indefinitely. There's a vast reason for us to overcome fear instead, one of which is to have a persistent faith.
Hence, let us convert these difficulties into once-in-a-lifetime possibilities. You may be struggling with an impoverished chapter right now or unemployment status. You can be obessed and have wrestled with your weight for a long time. Be in a more challenging situation than most people, such as if you're visually impaired, hearing impaired, or limbless. You can also believe that you were born a mishap or unwanted and in the wrong family, or that you are living in a world of luxuries and making outlawed decisions.
Either you opt to overcome them by developing the necessary abilities that will make these difficulties look easy, or you choose to let these difficulties defeat you. It is all up to you.
Finally, endeavor for a constant progress by training your mind to become proactive in anticipating obstacles if you want to handle them in life more successfully. This way, you are a soldier of your own choice, prepared to fight wars before your eyes. After all, there's a fathomless sea of infinite riches ahead; just keep your vision on the horizon.
Thank you for taking time to read.Have a nice day everyone!
