“Remember that not getting
what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.” — Dalai Lama
Most people think that they alone have challenges in their lives. However, the fact is that everyone has their own share of challenges and hidden stories. Some people unveil while some keep within themselves. In this post, we will discuss that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and everything happens for a reason.
Everything
Happens for a Reason — A Short Story
“We all have within us the
ability to move from struggle to grace.” ― Arianna Huffington
When I was in Chennai (India),
things got worse financially in 2006. I did not know what to do because things
went out of my control. I tried to resolve them smoothly, but the challenges
came in battalions. Finally, I was forced to leave Chennai in 2007 and relocate
to another place in India along with my wife and two sons. I did not know what
to do then but I took risk by moving permanently from Chennai. I was very confident
of surviving in a new place despite financial difficulties as I was qualified
with an MBA degree and being hailed from military background. Little did I realize that the MBA would be useful in my
life during my tough times. Within a span of a month of my relocation, I joined
as a faculty member to teach management subjects and soft skills for
engineering students. I got positive vibrations from students and I thanked
almighty for showing the right path when I did not know what to do. I was getting
regular income and got my two sons admitted in schools to continue their regular
education. From this, I came to know that everything happens for a reason. My
services were not required in Chennai. Hence, problems came up and I was forced
to relocate to a different place to pursue a noble career of teaching. I also discovered for my passion for teaching, training, research and consultancy. Whenever
you encounter challenges in life, pray to God to provide you strength to
overcome them. Never pray for an easy and calm life because leaders don’t rise
when the sea is smooth.
When you are pushed to the
corner, you must think creatively to raise resources and utilize your hidden
talents and strengths. You must build new connections to overcome challenges
and think creatively to work with what you have rather than blaming others. It
is a fact that nobody leads an easy life. Everyone has a hidden story. In fact,
there are four kinds of life ― private life, professional life, public life and
secret life.
Conclusion
“You may encounter many
defeats, but you must not be defeated.
Because it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know
who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ― Maya
Angelou
We cannot control everything
in our life, but we can change our attitude toward life. Remember, tough times
don’t last but tough people do last. Life
is great when it has peaks and valleys. God throws challenges to humans to make
them stronger and winners. Don’t lose hope when your are forced to the corner. Fight to
the finish to come out with flying colors.
“There is no need to run
outside for better seeing…Rather abide at the center of your being; for the more
you leave it the less you learn. Search your heart and see…The way to do is to
be.” ― Lao-Tzu
