I think there are so many hurting people out there. People who are wondering without saying it out loud, "Why me?" I must confess, I've said it a few times. I've had my moments of yelling at God and asking "Why!" Truth is that I believe it is more a "Why not me" situation.
If I have learned anything with time it is resiliency. I have learned that I can actually hit my breaking point and go past it and still survive. I've learned that human beings are made of much sterner stuff than what they believe for the most part. I look at people I know, a lady who is taking her husband back and forth for chemo because this is his last chance. She somehow finds the resiliency to walk into work every day and smile at people.
I know a woman whose husband just passed away quite suddenly. Somehow she always remembers people's birthdays and even in her sadness and her grief, has strength within to reach out of her own heart and help make someone else smile. She is an amazing person.
These people are every day heroes. These people are why there are those who are to be admired in so many ways. Personally I want to be like them. I want to be made of the same stuff and hopefully I will aspire to and reach that goal without knowing it. Then I will always have another goal to reach.
I've been through so much in my life as many other people have. How I handle the stress of life is what makes me better. You know that gold when it is melted down into liquid form must endure extreme heat to get rid of impurities before it can be the best 24K gold. Diamonds endure extreme pressure to make them perfect. If I wish to be gold or diamonds, I must endure.
