Do you ever feel like giving up?

Have you ever had a time in your life when everything seemed to be going wrong and you just felt like giving up? 

Several times in the past few years I have found my self in a situation where everything just seemed to be bad and getting worse and worse. I had people who were close to me telling me "don't worry, everything happens for a reason and that sooner or later I would find out what it was". 

Of course, as depressed as I could be, I doubted it. When it's YOU, the whole world can tell you it will get better, but you don't believe it till you see it with your own eyes.

So time went by and I kept on feeling the same way. Then one day, like being struck by lightening, I knew what that reason was, Why I had to go through all the things I did. It's part of life. It's necessary for us to grow and learn. It's these lessons that teach us to appreciate what we have every day; all those little things that we take for granted sometimes. 

Now I believe that all of the things that happened to me in my life have made me a stronger person than I was before. I appreciate all those little things that I took for granted before. I got to meet my real friends for the very first time; I know who my real friends are and those are the ones who stuck by me no matter what.

I know I'll have more bad times in my life, but next time someone say's "DON'T FORGET EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON", I'll know it's true. We all go through bad times in life, the important thing is to know that sooner or later that reason will come to you and when that happens you will find yourself better off than you were before.

Thought for today: "It's not what happens to you... it's what you do about what happens to you that matters!"

Have a productive weekend.
