There are times when a task look impossible. There are times when it is impossible to believe that good things would happen. And there are times when all hopes seems lost.
Such moments can be disturbing indeed.
But to say that things can never change or improve, is to exaggerate the situation.
You may be going through your worst moments, and it seems you are all alone in your lonely 'planet'. You may have been misunderstood by everyone. No one is giving you a chance.
But you must not give in to cynics or discouragement.
One basic lesson that life has taught me is that majority of people are always quick to condemn an idea or a project at conception, and such people have always been wrong.
No one has the right to condemn an idea or project that has not been tested, and no one has the right to condemn a tested idea or project just because it failed. Failure in itself is not a damning verdict. Failure means there is something in the implementation process that went wrong, and should be traced and corrected.
If at every failure scientists gave up an idea, there would never have been any scientific breakthrough in the world. There is no invention without initial failures.And there is no business success without initial struggles, and sometimes frustrations.
You can be all you aspire to be in life if you don't give up. The cynics would always be there. Don't see them as your enemies, but rather see them as friends. Because you need someone to tell you that you are not qualified for success, and that would give you the psychological leverage to prove to the world that you are more than able, with God on your side.
We live in a world of possibilities. Go explore it.
Turn every criticism into a lever that would move you a step further into your success.
Let God be your strength.
