I Am Ready

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.
(Bob Marley)

Sometimes we will come across some difficult situations. It seems impossible for us to pass all of life's test.  However, please remember you are testing yourself in every difficult situation. Just as the problems seemed overwhelming, it will be similarly thrilling when the solutions present themselves. Please don't lose faith, and please don't complain about your fate!

 Whenever we are going through something difficult, please trust this is a message from God that you are stronger than you thought you could be. The Tao is always on your side. Whenever you break through your self-imposed limits, whenever you overcome artificial obstacles, you gain strength and wisdom in the process. With this wisdom, strength, and courage, now you are even more ready to unleash your potential.

 What makes successful and happy people different is that they always believe that they can make it regardless of what difficulties they may come across.  They are always ready to tackle the obstacles on their way and keep on moving. They don’t think any difficulty or obstacle is a curse, on the contrary, they take it as an opportunity to learn and they transform it to a present instead. They never stop just because they come across a rock along the way. They take advantage of any opportunity to advance and enrich themselves. Just as the German poet Goethe once said, "even with stones that others put in your way one can build a nice house."

 If you want to build your muscles, you need to be able to take some physical pain; if you want to build your mental muscle, you need to be able to take some psychological pain!  You come across this difficulty only because you are ready to advance. All the help in the world is standing right next to you. Bless the Tao for everything that comes your way today.
