BLOOM WITH GRACE

You know when you feel you tried enough,  that you gave everything you could,  invested every single emotion and energy into something and still it didn't work out. 

I know the agony that one feels. 
It's an emotional break down.  Emotional break downs are the worst.  You feel your body loosening grip.  You feel there is no purpose left.  You feel you're not worth it.

Remember,  until your breath counts,  there is a lot to do.  After that you are going to sleep till eternity.  This life is precious..  It's not a worthless thing.  If you think this is worthless,  you can invest it in worthless things and waste it the way you want.  But if you think this life of yours is precious.  Treat it like that.  Invest it in some bigger vision.  Don't be dragged down to a narrow aisle of your brain. One bad experience,  two bad experiences or even hundereds of them.  They mean nothing until you haven't given up.  Don't care about what happened in the past.  Don't worry what will happen in future.  That which happened in the past doesn't exist anymore and that which will happen in the future doesn't exist right now either.  So there is no point being worried in the present about something that doesn't exist right now.

Tell yourself,  that you are the only companion you need.  And be benevolent enough to hold someone's hand if they ask for it. But you,  you yourself are enough. 
Remember,  what you are made of?  Whose blood flows in your veins,  is it a cheap source?  Or a Brave one?
If you carry blood of a worthwhile person inside you,  prove the worth of it. 
Let no one degrade its value.  Don't lose your integrity during adversity.

See anyone can pretend to be wonderful when it's a joyful time.  How you manage yourself during adverse times shows what you are really made of.
Remember,  where you stand today is not a constant but a variable.  You'll either sink or rise from here.  Because one is unstable in adversity.  And one can't remain in an unstable state for longer time.  Now it's upon you, whether you choose to sink or rise.  It all depends upon your action and inaction. 

No matter how hard you try,  you'll find yourself in such situations many times. Your dilemma is because you are a novice right now.  Step into action. What you'll learn eventually is how to deal with such situations. 

After all in the end,  there is nothing to get in this life.  There is nothing to take away with you. All that will matter is whether you lived life in a profound manner with fuller involvement or not. Do not take life too seriously,  smile a bit,  laugh a little. 
Rainbows will follow the rain.  No darker nights have been ever able to stop the sunrise. But to enjoy that sunrise,  you must wake up at time.  If you keep sleeping,  you'll miss it. Then complaining won't solve anything.  So, get involved in things that you do.  Do them with either 100% devotion or don't do at all.  Why waste a precious part of life doing something that you are not willing to give your 100%.
You are all given this one job of living.  Do it in the best way possible.  It's all about serving yourself,  you can at least be loyal to yourself... Don't you?
So where ever life plants you,  bloom with grace.

"You can't go back and change the beginning,  but you can start from where you are and change the ending. "
-C.S.Lewis
