A Lesson About Letting Go

Ava loves her "PACI" so much that you could almost feel how brokenhearted she was when her Father told her that it's time to let go of her pacifier.  Like any of us, we have our own version of "PACI" in life.  We also need to let go of them no matter how hard it is because we've grown up and there's a better reason for doing so.  It's painful but it has to be done to experience a better life... Imagine AVA growing up to be a beautiful lady coming to her Office to attend Executive Meeting with PACI stucked in her mouth? do you think the bosses would not FIRE her? Did you get my point...: :)

Difficult Times Don't Last Forever

Sometimes, the problems you must face
are more than you wish to cope with,
and tomorrow doesn't seem
to offer any solutions.

You may ask yourself, "Why me?"
but the answer is sometimes unclear.
You may even tend to feel
that life hasn't been just or fair
to burden you with such obstacles.

The roads many of us choose
to follow are never free
of bumps or curves,
but eventually the turns
lead to a smoother path ahead.

Believe in yourself and your dreams,
You will soon realize that the future
holds many promises for you.
Remember .... difficult times dont last forever.

My thoughts:

This is a reality in life in which we all have to face. For us parents, we have somehow gotten used to it already. No one can be spared from it and that includes our Sons and Daughters.... no exceptions. Life is supposed to be difficult but All of us should be thankful for it... Why??? It is only by experiencing series of difficulties one after another that eventually transform us into a stronger and better person.

Personally, I've gone through a lot of difficult times. Many times, I thought that I won't be able to overcome it. But looking back at it, I have survived them all through perseverance and faith in God. It is also God's way of bringing us more closer to Him. It is in difficult times that we begin to realize that We need God. As the saying goes, " You will never know that God is all you should have until you realize that God is all you got." When you reach that point, it is only then that you'll begin to appreciate the title of this poem - "Difficult times Don't Last Forever." it may seem blurry for now, but it's tried and tested. God did not promise us a life without pains and sufferings but He promised us that He will always be with us in the midst of all our difficulties. In my own personal experience, HE always makes an opening to surpass my trials whenever I'm near the dead end. And I believe that the same also applies to everyone. We just have to cling to that truth, give it a little more time and everything will be okay.

Never Let Go of Hope

One day
you will see
that it all
has finally come together

What you have
always wished for
has finally come to be

You will look back
and laugh at what has passed
and you will ask yourself
"How did I get through all of that?"

Just
never let go of hope
Just
never quit dreaming
And
never let love
depart from your life

My thoughts:

As Martin Luther King, Jr. says: “We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”. That should be the attitude if we want to achieve our goals and dreams in life.

When faced with obstacles, successful people don’t just give up their dreams easily. If things became too hard for them to bear, they avail of man’s inherent power to achieve their dreams…. The power I’m referring to is called HOPE… Each of us has that already from the time we were born. Where there is hope, there’s perseverance. Perseverance is the one of the key elements of success.
