This Too Shall Pass

             This Too Shall Pass

Alok Srivastava

 You know, whenever I feel low, Our parents, our elders, teachers and friends always say one thing “This too shall pass.” It always works. There are some incidents that happen in your life. Those incidents, break you but they can mould you into the best version of you.

Words have the power to heal the soul:Sometimes,  I am  confused what to do or how to do, and yes, when I face the tough situation. I asked myself, “ why me?” that is where I started to question my existence, that why am I even alive? Then someone said, “ God has a greater plan for you” I don’t know what it is, but he surely has. And in all that distress and grief, somehow or those words are so magical. That they kept me going.

Why don’t people consider themselves lucky: Thinking may be there will be a time, when we will be going out , with the family and enjoying the nature. That was the time where I realized how lucky people are. That is the time where I realized, that the day I am going to sit I am going to share this pain with everyone to make them realize how blessed they are.

I am going to fight my fears:  We all have fears, fear of unknown,  fear of losing people, fear of losing health, money.  we want to become famous. We want to get money, we are scared all the time. So I wrote down, one by one, all those fears. And I decided that I am going to overcome these fears one at a time. You know what is my biggest fear, losing people, fear of losing people but I said no I have to make it work.  the day I decided that this is nothing but my fear. And I made myself emotionally so strong.

 I have stopped worrying about the things: People think that they will not be accepted by other people but I started to appear more in public. Everytime I go in public, I always smile. And people ask me, don’t you get tired of smiling all the time? What’s the secret ? I always say one thing. That I have stopped worrying about the things. That I have lost, the people that I have lost. Things and People who are meant to be with me are with me.

Love yourself and spread that love: Sometimes, somebody’s absence make you a better person. Cherish their absence,  it’s always a blessing in disguise. Live your life fully. Accept yourself the way you are. Be kind to yourself and only then you can be kind to others. Life will be hard, There will be trials but that will only make you stronger. So when you accept yourself the way you are, the world recognizes you. It all starts from within.
