Standing the Test Of Time

A time comes in everyone’s life when things don’t go as planned. What the heart desires to accomplish becomes difficult to achieve. No matter how hard one tries or plans, things simply do not workout, leaving us frustrated. Slowly, one’s hope begins to fade and unwanted guests in the form of – negativity and fear quietly creep in through the back door, weakening one’s heart and plaguing the mind.

At this moment, one begins to question their credibility, fear of what others will think of them, and gradually feels their confidence to shatter, creating unnecessarily anxiety about their future. If one continues to remain in this state – well, these dark thoughts would slowly consume them and overpower every ounce of goodness and positivity in them.

We live in a world of instant gratification, where all our cravings – from food, to clothes to entertainment are satiated in a matter of minutes. Being addicted to this lifestyle, we have forgotten the simple art of waiting. Any kind of wait bothers us, we lose our cool and get agitated.

So, what is the way out? Be Patient.

In life, success, failure and delays will inevitably pay us a visit from time to time, how we respond to them will eventually build our character.

We need to take a firm and strong stand to not entertain any unwanted toxic thoughts. Remind ourselves of our qualities and past accomplishments. Spend time with nature and allow its still wisdom to calm our minds. Surround ourselves with people who uplift us, engage in activities that nourish our soul, and take consistent steps toward our goals. Gradually, one will notice their confidence returning, their clarity strengthening, and inner light shining through once again.

And voila! that is when one will accomplish our goal.
