"When hope is lost!"

Why do you think so many children fail in school? Why are so many people drunk all the time? Imagine a life that a person who has lost all his relatives in an accident or war go through! What do you think a bride who has lost her groom just a month after getting married experiences. Some people think poverty is the worst in life. Others think losing a relative or loved one is the worst. Well, experiencing both is the worst. Just imagine a person who is "poor and broken inside"; he lost his relatives and also struggles financially. Over one billion children in the world lost their parents. Research shows that 28% of all children in the world live without their fathers, of which 24.7 million of these live in America. Many people who are 'poor and broken inside' commit suicide, others lose hope completely , children develop mental illnesses , majority go insane ,and others run mad. Because of the many limitations in their lives, everything seems impossible. They lose their value, because whatever they think about, seems to have a dead end. Having experienced such a life, this is my humble advice:
There is no dead end. There is no actual reality. It's our perception of things, circumstances, and situations in our lives that creates a reality. We don't decide the circumstances that happen in our lives but we decide the meaning we give to each and every moment in our lives and how we are going to react to each circumstance. We may come up with thousands of reasons as to why we have to give up, but as well, we can come up with a single reason as to why we have to persist. What completely destroy us is not what we go through, but how we use our mind. If you are 'poor and broken', its okay for you to cry, get depressed and grief but after all the misery , think positively. If your body and soul are completely broken, empower your spirit. Seek for God's guidance, He will empower your spirit and your body and soul will get energised slowly. Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. If you feed it with taking alcohol, committing suicide and others , you life will completely come to an end. Feed the mind with faith, truth , and love, and your life will start again. What is a caterpillar today becomes a butterfly tomorrow. One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else's survival guide.

The storm won't kill you

I was born in 1998 and I lost my father in 2000. I have seven biological brothers and two biological sisters, and am the second last born in the family. By the time my father died, the first born son was studying mechanical engineering and the second eldest brother was in senior six, and that was their end. Everything turned upside down. The next chapter of life was characterized by poverty, tears, grief, sorrow, and misery. One of my brothers attempted to make a suicide; He hang himself on a tree but unfortunately my mother saw him and made a very loud cry to him, in panic the rope slipped from the tree and he felt down, making the suicide unsuccessful. The first born ran mad. I remember him trying to eat a dog alive!  In that tearful moments, there are two prayers ( we are Catholics) that created a rock foundation on which the family is built on up to today. One was prayed by my mother and the second one prayed by my second eldest brother. My mother's prayer " Dear Mother Ma...

Life isn't fair, but its still good

"I went to KFC. 24 people went for the job, 23 were accepted, I was the only one rejected. And we went for police, five people full of them accepted, I was the only one rejected. I applied for Harvard ten times rejected" said by Jack ma, richest man in China. When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this , you haven't . No matter how bad it is , it could always be worse. Be glad its not. Put your problems in proper perspective. The reason why we don't become who we want to be is because we do attach to who we've been. Haven't you ever hard people saying " but i have always been like this!" Most of us want the convenience of transformation without the inconvenience required for the transformation. Let go of the past so that you can create a better future. It doesn't mean what happened was right, it means your future happiness is more important than holding on to something you can't change. If you want to achieve something differen...

Authentic Life

By
  When Isaac Newton was in his early twenties, in 1665, a great plague hit London. To prevent the plague from spreading further, London city was locked down. Newton was studying at Trinity College, Cambridge and the school sent all it's students home. Over one hundred people died because of this epidemic.  Was Newton stressed during this quarantine? Perhaps not . It was during this time that Newton got still and concentrated more on his deeper understanding about scientific theories. He wrote papers that became the early calculus , discovered differential and integral calculus and formulated a theory of Universal gravitation .  Now, when the ladder is not Leaning on the right wall, each step we make get us to the wrong place faster.  The foundation , the origin of an authentic life , is knowing who we are. "Who am I , and what do I exactly want in this life?"   There is a uniqueness on every individual here on earth , which when discovered by the individual and ...
