Rising above the tide

We are often challenged by life circumstances no matter how old we are. At each stages of life, there will always be a certain lesson that we need to learn, sometimes learning it the hard way. Doesn't matter if you are 8 or 88 years old, life just have the perfect dosage of lesson to teach you.

The question is, are you someone who falls and cry when stumbled on a boulder? Or, you fall and pick yourself up, shake off the dirt and step on the boulder to climb a notch higher? Easier said than done right? I believe you can relate to that.

A true measure of success means that when the challenges are the biggest, the stronger and tougher you become. You keep rising above the challenges that came down crushing and you never complain. In fact, you understand that, that is the nature of life.

Imagine if everything is so smooth and there is NO challenges at all in your life. Will you be happy? Think about it seriously and deeply. After 3 months of 'nothingness' happens (since it's so smooth), will you get bored of your life?

So, do you drown?

Or, do you rise and thrive?
