“All things fare best when they are constantly tested by opposition…”  No one is ever defeated who gathers, courage to face his assembled weaknesses.  As long as we are alive and kicking… we can fight back and gain our strength and open the door for a new way of expressing ourselves.  We can be the better person that we are after each test or trial.  If somehow you feel afraid to try a new job, a new situation or anything that is new to you, the best thing to do is build your confidence about it and force yourself to enter into them and do the best that you can to succeed and overcome the situation.  Whatever the outcome of your decision you have to be responsible with the outcome and not to feel defeated… there is good in every situation.  For sure we gained something out of the said situation.  Just give it a try and be open to the outcome.  Remember that there is always some good things even in the most ugly or we thought “worse” situation that we have encountered.  The lesson/s we get from it is one step to be the better person that we are.

     I remember a close friend told me that I am full of confidence and a strong person but on the contrary a person close to my heart told me one time, during a negative situation that I “appear” (… just appear…) to be a strong and confident but deep inside I am weak, insecure and full of negative thoughts.  Well, you cannot please everyone… and we cannot appear strong all the time… somehow there are so many factors that a person appear weak or strong to another. In my case… I started to look inside of me and evaluate myself… time and space lead me to realized that indeed I am somehow giving him that impression because of my actions and reactions.  It hurts to accept during that time but unless you accept his criticism (whether you consider it positive or negative) you cannot get over the hurtful feelings.  As we part ways I reralized that his words were somehow true… I lost my own identity and confidence out of the illusion that I can depend my happiness on the other person.  I lost my way to express the real feelings inside me,  the real person I must be and the person I want to be when I am with him.  It was all part of my lessons to learn.  And now I overcome that weaknesses and I am the person (better) than what I am during that time.

Discover your secret self, don’t let others put you down because of your weaknesses.  You cannot find your happiness in another person…. you have to be happy from within to be able to share happiness.  Most of all, I realized that in all the bad situations I have experienced there is good in it.  Just be open and understanding to what is going on around you….  God will not give you any temptation/s that you cannot handle.

After all … I have to thank my weaknesses because I discover my strengths…. I have to accept the bad things to appreciate the goodness in it.  Life is beautiful …. and the best is yet to come.
