A Message Of Hope

Chapter 1: Endurance in life

"If the world had no pain, happiness would have lost its worth."

Everybody goes through a certain kind of pain in life. That pain changes your life, your thoughts and even your feelings. While going through that painful time of your life, you literally begin to think like your world is soon about to end. When you get through that heartache, you begin to feel like the world would stop spinning.

Your mind starts questioning the pain you endure but your heart remains silent, not answering any of them, as if it can't. You really can hear the silence of your heart. You do not know if you're lost. When some time passes, you feel like you do not deserve all this pain. When you start thinking that you deserve to be happy, you begin to search for ways to brighten your heart. You want the Sun to rise and shine, its glorious rays coming in through the cracks of those dark walls which surround you. Your heart really gets tired. You feel as if it is broken into pieces while your mind keeps thinking of this situation nothing more than insanity.

Oh dear! You are tired of experiencing how the fresh green trees turn into grey ashes. You are tired of painting the world with your own hands, then watching those flamboyant colors turn into nothing more than mere black and white shades. You are tired of learning lessons after lessons. You are tired of seeing the masks not the faces. You are tired of hiding an ocean of mysteries within you. You are tired of pretending to be someone you aren't. You are tired of learning more about yourself. You are tired of learning to learn that you never learned.

One of the toughest points of endurance is being lonely. When you do not have even one person you can speak your heart out to, you start realizing the truth of this world. Nothing in this world is permanent. Your pain, your worries, your anxiety, your depression and even your happiness, everything is temporary. Your soul has been dipped in a temporary world. You will learn a lot of lessons after facing those numerous trials. You learn and life goes on. You'll get sad temporarily and you'll get happy temporarily. In the world where you search for permanent happiness, you forget that there is nothing here that is permanent. The Holy Book of the Muslims, Al-Qur'an, has a great teaching for us. It says, "Indeed, the life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception."

Learn to take things positively, even that pain which shatters your heart into a thousand pieces. The pain which brings you closer to Allah, the pain which makes you realize your worth, the pain which makes you realize your purpose in this world, the pain which starts the journey of your change and self-discovery, the pain which breaks you for the purpose of molding you into the best version of yourself, in life, I think nothing else can be a greater motivation than this.

Your life is not going to be as easy as you expect it to be. You will have to face a lot of trials and endure deep pain. But with every pain inflicted, you'll appear stronger which will lead you to the best version of yourself. You'll always find yourself getting better with time. You'll end up being more powerful than the previous you. Trust the process. In the end, everything will be worth it.

I have seen,

Despite all the darkness of the world,

Golden rays of the Sun,

Lighting up every dark corner,

Every gloomy day in the world.

I have seen,

In the thick dark mud,

A lotus blooming;

Its fragile petals spreading,

Sweet fragrance all around.

I have seen,

In the vast dry deserts,

Among the dunes of sand,

An oasis existing.

I have seen,

In the world where people,

Surrender and use the word "impossible";

Great miracles happening.

I have seen,

Among the broken people,

Cuts and bruises of the wounded hearts,

Scars of the damaged souls;

Shining brightly like gold.

Nothing and absolutely no situation in your life is worth stressing over. Stop damaging yourself because of that toxicity and anxiety. Stand up with your special strength and your arduous eyes. Do not stress over the weight of those enthralling mountains that your shoulders carry. Strength and courage encircles the world. The will of wanting to do something great creates glorious histories. Eventually, you'll learn to climb those mountains. You'll literally bleed because of the thorns on your path but your wounds will heal and you'll end up being courageous, powerful, strong and prestigious which is worth more than any other thing.

They will consider you nothing. They will underestimate your strength. They will not know who you are, what you are made of and what you have within. They will not make you feel special. They will not know what you're capable of doing. You are going to do all this because they don't know you but you do. You know yourself. You're not going to accept what they say. You're going to listen to your voice. You're going to give a response to prove yourself. You're going to make a difference. You're going to prove your strengths and who you are. It is all decided by how you respond. Your response matters. It really does.

Life is not about getting hurt and sitting there in dark rooms, wasting your precious tears. Life is not about what happens to you, it is all about how you respond to what happens to you. The most important thing you need in life is "growth". No one is going to offer you this "growth" on a plate. You'll absolutely not undergo this growth overnight. Before growth, you must heal first and before every healing, there is pain. "Pain." How inspiring this word is!

Onward she goes,

Letting go of all the fears she knows.

Facing trials that make her grow.

Slowly and steadily she goes,

Today she endures, tomorrow she'll rise;

Shining like the morning star,

The most radiant and unique.

When at last she'll say,

Oh pain! Thanks for making me strong.

Without you, I would have never known,

I have the courage to stand all alone.
