Struggle

‘Life without a struggle is simply a life wasted’

Life is simply not a road to walk on. It is a bumpy ride that takes you to heights as well as drag you to the bottom or just simply pushes you off the cliff. What will you do? Sit back and let life play with you like a toy until you’re broken? Of course, you can, nothing wrong in enjoying the drama at the cost of being broken.

“How is it not wrong?”

You enjoyed the view and thrill when life took you to the highest peak, didn’t you? You learned to live with pain when life dragged you down to the bottom. With every preceding step, life gave you a new experience, made you play different roles, made you realize the parts of yourself you never knew existed. Above everything else, it made you a stronger person. It doesn’t matter which pain you go through or how small it is, but if it makes you stronger then it definitely is worth it. Ever seen a diamond? The more it is cut, the beautiful and valuable it becomes. Let’s bring in a twist here. Diamond is an object, which obviously means it does not feel anything when it goes through the cutting process. Whereas, we humans have feels rushing through every vein in our body. Slightest of the cuts can take us deep into the valleys of hopelessness. At times, one would even wish to give up everything and rest in peace. But wait, who is to be held responsible for this low blow in life?

Well, most of the times it is some ‘xyz’ person or an unfortunate event or criticism. If it is a person then be thankful to them because heartbreaks are miserable yet one of the most valuable gifts. The lessons taught by these people will help you throughout your lifetime. The pain given by these people will make stronger day by day. Never underestimate if anyone of this kind crosses your life. If it weren’t for them, you would’ve remained a dumb fellow. Same goes in for the unfortunate event as well. You will never work on yourself if no one criticized you. Every other reason that can lead to depression is significant.

The word ‘struggle’ now comes into the picture. The struggle to climb up after life has thrown you down. There is not a single person who didn’t face a low blow in his life, Of course, life is same for everyone, but it’ll make a difference when you start matching your pace with it. It is not at all a problem if you drown in distress when you’re at the bottom, but it’ll become a critical one if you decide to stay there forever. You have to struggle to stand up again. Do not beg someone to help you up because that’ll just lead to another misery when they leave. The person who knows your weakest and strongest point is you yourself. Never let anyone else take the pride of your success of standing up.  It is almost impossible to feel the happiness at this stage but you have to struggle till you can. A past becomes a past only if you leave it there, if you hold a firm onto it while you climb up, then you’ll never reach the top. Drop the weight of your past down in those alleys.

I know past has those tentacles which will hold you tight in its grip and not let you move, but you have to struggle out of it and break free till you can be proud of what you survived. Life is just all about struggling through the worst and living it to the best. If only you lend yourself to your future self, you will know the value of these struggles.
