In life, there are moments when we grapple with the mysteries of why things happen, the challenges we confront, and the people we encounter. Some bring us joy, while others arrive as profound teachers, guiding our growth. It’s important to recognize that everything, even the most trying circumstances, carries a hidden blessing.
There are times when we may feel feeble as if we lack the strength to face our trials. In those moments, all we need to do is take a breath, find our center, and tap into the wellspring of strength within us.
I recall reading a poignant poem by Kathy Obara, which beautifully encapsulates this sentiment:
“At times, it can be daunting to navigate life, to present a smiling face to the world while concealing inner tears. It requires great courage to delve within, to hold fast to the resilience that resides deep within, and to embrace the knowledge that each new day is brimming with fresh hope.
Yet, if we can stand unwavering through life’s storms, we emerge anew—fortified, wiser, and with a profound sense of self. In these moments, we realize that victory is not a distant dream but a tangible reality, and we carry this understanding with newfound pride.”
