Once upon a time, I believed that, with God's help, a person was capable of facing difficulties and overcoming challenges.
I believed that hard work and perseverance opened closed doors, and that success from God was only granted to those who strive.
I wanted success, I wanted progress, I wanted to leave a positive impact.
I thought I could control my destiny, but over time I learned that some things are irreversible, and some endings are decreed for a reason we do not know.
The perfect life? It's not of this world.
It was just an innocent fantasy of my childhood and my dreams.
Desires are endless, and humans naturally crave for more.
If they are not satisfied, they suffer... and if they are satisfied, they feel empty.
And so the soul oscillates between longing and disappointment, between hope and loss.
But we often forget...
We forget that the moment we are living now is a great blessing.
We forget that every ordinary day we live is in itself a miracle worthy of gratitude.
Perhaps life doesn't require dazzling success or profound philosophical meaning.
Perhaps a reassured heart, a loving hand holding you, and a soul content with God's decree are enough.
Weakness isn't in recognizing your limitations, but in denying them.
Accepting God's decree doesn't mean surrender; it's the highest level of strength and certainty.
The world has never been your enemy; it's been your testing ground.
Your true enemy is your inner weakness.
Facing life with contentment, smiling despite the difficulties, and continuing to love.
