THere are some things you learn best in calm and some in storm.

Pain and suffering is the price you have to pay for gaining wisdom, strength, resilience, compassion, gratitude and maturity; the real beauties in life in my personal opinion. Although I have very dark days, I can say that I am more self-disciplined, resilient and compassionate than ever. I am convinced that you are as well.

If you do not feel confident for whatever reason, I suggest that you re-examine your values and shift your paradigm. This journey has forced us to adopt a perspective that transcends the materialistic definition of success and identity. Every single person has something to offer to the world.

Value not what you do, but how you do it. See beauty in trying rather than getting what you want. View this as an opportunity for you to rise, always remembering that there should be no boundaries to human endeavour.
