You Are Not Alone


Remember that you are not alone who is suffering right now. There are many who are suffering at the same time out there. Yet, many do not feel right to succumb to the sufferings. They still appear cheerful and confidence, smiling to everyone they see and meet. They do not complain but extend a helping hand whenever they are needed.

You can be like them. That is why it is good to consider another fellow human suffering from pain as an example. This may help you to be less concern with your suffering, as well as a help to divert your total helplessness for yourself.

If you dare to see, you will know that life is not a smooth ocean. The waves, big or small can be dangerous. People who dare to smile at big waves are sufferers too. They know the pain too well.

Always remember, you are not alone. You have many companions who are walking on the same road and wading through the same pain and sufferings.

Be Responsible For Your Own Experience


It is a shame to turn away whenever we meet a bad experience. Like a caterpillar going through the metamorphosis of becoming a butter, we have to face the bad experiences ourselves.

Be responsible with our own experiences, good or bad, will be a direct expression of who we are. Who we are is exactly what we value in ourselves. By allowing ourselves to feel the real pain and joy, then, we will be able to appreciate ourselves better.

This is the responsibility we should undertake!

"Ninety-nine percent of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses."

– George Washington Carver, Botanist
