"Maybe . . . the brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on
successfully in life until you let go
of your past mistakes, failures and
heartaches.
Maybe . . you should hope for enough
happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human, and enough
hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . the happiest of people
don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way." ( Shared by Ms. Vandana Mulchandani whom I consider to be my younger Sister)
Dear Gurpreet,
No doubt you are going through a very bad time in your life and nobody will understand how hurt you are and how much your heart bleeds - only a wearer knows where the shoe pinches.
During such times when everything seems to go wrong with a person, no word of encouragement penetrates deep enough into the mind and every inspiration lives a short life. I experienced that in my own life for more than 12 years and I'm ready to share the same with you if you think it's worth knowing.
What I found in those years mentioned that no matter how dejected I become, how desperately I seek help - Divine or Earthly - nothing would change for the better. Having forced to reconcile myself to this helpless state, I somehow developed a philosophy that is akin to the philosophy of the above quotations.
I decided, as I'm not going to have anyone by my side, that I must be my own help. I knew, I have to fight it out. And a depressed soul cannot fight properly. I felt, if I drop my shoulder everyone will try to lower it further. So, I had no choice to stand by myself.
I was just a 12th pass Mr. Nowhere then, having willingly dropped out myself from the Chemistry ( Hons.) course for some reason. Compared to that, you have already passed IPCC.
Today, I'm well-placed in life, have a wonderful family and even more wonderful daughter. And I'm still alive to share my experience with you.
If I could endure all these and can still live a life worth living, why can't you?
I tried, I endured, I survived. Do it. You too will.
Best of luck ( it won't always run away from you in any case).
