PASSING THE RACE OF LIFE

Each one of us undergoes trials and faces challenges in life. Some see it as a curse or see themselves as unlucky or “malas” as we termed. However, there are others who deal with it in a way that those life’s encounters would make them better, responsible, and strong individuals.

Life’s challenges come in any way at any time. Sometimes we see it as a punishment from God for all our shortcomings that we committed but we try to see the good side of it either. There are things we need to sacrifice even if it will hurt us badly. We have to make decisions even if it will run counter to the wishes of the people around us and even to our loved ones. There are people that we need to forgive in order for us to be freed from emotional bondages. We need to forget the past and learn to step forward from a single step to a hundred miles away.

Let us pursue every goal we have. Make them happen. Let us not run the race of this life aimlessly. Let us not fight like a man beating the air. Compete in such a way to get the price fairly. We might not get the victor’s crown but someone will get it through us.

Life is not all about winning but sometimes it is about being a part of the race. We might be the last but at least we have done it well with the best we can.

Life will not be meaningful without walking through the wilderness. We cannot grow mature and responsible without passing through a test. We could not know the feeling of winning or losing if we cannot try to run. All of those are just a part of life that one must understand. All we need is the faith and believe that we can make it.

    • Life is not easy as some people think.We can never question the miseries that come along the journey.It is how we handle the dilemma in life.Definitely, we can patch things up when handling a less difficult problem.If it is too difficult, then we can still ask others for help.The most important are to face these problems and never ran away from it.

      Whatever things happen in our lives, we can always pick up the pieces of being broken.Try to learn from mistakes.We should accept the reality that failures can be experienced.It is a good start to reinvent oneself if needed to improve something.

      • @SHAVKAT, I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD FACE OUR PROBLEMS AND NOT TO RAN FROM IT. THERE ARE TIMES THAT WE THINK WE CAN'T RESOLVE IT BUT IN FACT, WE CAN, ONLY IF WE POSITIVELY LOOK INTO THE POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
        AS MA'AM DINA SAID, LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES. AND THERE ARE CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY, WHICH MAKES US STRONG.

    • Life is not a bed of roses. It has its thorns so we should know the things to avoid in life, to hurdle the challenges we face. We should be equipped with enough knowledge but let us not forget to have the heart too to help people along the way. Yes we can do that, because who knows the people that we helped while we hurdle some challenges will also be the very people who can help us pass those challenges.

      It is these challenges that once we have passed that shapes us a strong person. Once, we have hurdled a lot already, we can already say to ourselves, if I have surpassed those challenges that we can really consider as hard, then why can't we hurdle some more.
