It is not a surprise that we all like smooth sailing lives, with no problems. But is it true that life with no problems is a happy life? Look at all the successful people; they are not spared as well. Name any that you think are happy; even the wealthiest people born with a silver spoon face problems, in fact, sometimes create problems for themselves by indulging in bad habits. The truth is, we need issues and hurdles to value the happy moments and appreciate the time when we don’t have any problems.

“What does not kill you makes you stronger” I genuinely believe in this, and in many instances, I felt I am not going to make it out of the dreadful situation, but when I did, I was much stronger and wiser. So the key is not to give up and have faith in yourself. When I look back and see all the problems I have solved, I get the strength to face my current hurdle. I tell myself that time will overcome everything; I just need to keep trying and keep doing my best.

Take one step at a time. We know what our destination is when we go places, but when we are moving towards the goal, we don’t see the complete path; we only see few meters ahead of us. So we keep moving towards our destination, and eventually, we reach there. The same principle applies to our lives. We don’t have to see the whole path, and if we keep going forward and not get distracted and bogged down with problems, we will get to our goals.

There is no happiness if there is no sadness. So every coin has to have two sides. So cherish the happy time while you keep going, and don’t give up during hard times.
