Life is what we make it. No matter what happens today or tomorrow, the world will turn, the sun will set and rise, and the earth will still be round. These clichéd lines come to mind when faced with a difficult situation, where one wonders if there will ever be a better time. Yes, bad times and bad situations do come into our lives. However, it is up to us, if these situations where we seem to feel bad and unable to break free from will have a positive effect in our lives, or we’ll let it remain as a burden to bear for the rest of our lives.
History teaches us a lot of things. More so, on how greatness is forged not from an already existing fame and fortune, but from impossible situations, where heroes are made and the most impossible adversity are overcome. Even tyrants in history, have one or the other found their niche, because of discovering their ability to conquer impossible situations. Looking back, the world that we see and live in today will not be what it is if our ancestors were complaisant in accepting their fate as it is. Yet, they questioned their lives and wanted something better, and here we are today.
However, overcoming adversity is not only for the greats. Even simple lives have their own hurdles to rise above from. It is in this simplicity even, that we gain our strength. It is up to each and every one of us, on how we will be able to surmount these trials that we face. After all, there are choices that we can make. There are paths to take that will lead us through different roads. Some might lead to greatness; some might further create difficulties for us. But no situation is ever so impossible. Life only ever throws these hurdles at us, because we can conquer them in the end. Each of us, have been created with strength of will and character, defined to combat back the hardships we have to fight against during the quest of our lifetime. Destiny is just a matter of choice. We can choose to be a looser or we can choose to push back on what fate dishes out and be great.
