Struggles are ever part of our human existence. Each one of us has his own share of life's intricacies. The way we face life and the way we struggle defines our character as a person.
I am sure that at a certain period of time, we will face a life changing experience. Well and good if it is a good opportunity but what if it is a means to surrender all you've got?
Letting go of all those things you've learned to value, treasure, and love would mean letting go of your very own self. Usually when we are challenged for this occasion, the timing is so perfect for the pain and agony to engulf our whole being and the suffering could be eternal. Friends and loved ones may show their empathy. To be consoled and knowing that you are not alone is indeed a great consolation. But the struggles deep within ourselves could be the very driving monster to make us plunge into the depth of nothingness.
Maybe it is just a matter of time, a matter of buying some time before gaining our senses back. That, in this borrowed existence, we can't gain control of everything. Our plans could be perfect. Our directions could be carefully laid down. But struggles and trials are ever present just like the earth and the wind. No amount of planning and control could ever prevent them from happening. And when they happen, it could be a make or break situation.
When we learn to let go, we will eventually come to a realization that some things are not meant to be. When we learn to let go, we can learn to appreciate and be thankful about that particular experience, the best part of it. When we learn to let go, it is not an acceptance of a defeat but rather a means for a brand new start. When we learn to let go, things could never be the same again but it will definitely bring out the best in us. That is, if we are brave enough to accept the realities of life and face a new day with a positive disposition.
If there is that one thing that would be synonymous to our existence and we've been asked to let it go, it could mean letting go of our own life too. But if we will be able to endure the torment of its aftermath, for sure, we will have a new perspective in life.
And if we will be facing again an identical struggle, the pain and suffering could be just as painful as the bite of an ant. And maybe we can say something like, "next one, please."
