"It always seems impossible until it's done."
----Nelson Mandela---
One of the most influential politician has passed. Many people talked about him, wrote books about him, made movies about him. A person's action speaks louder than his words. In that way, he was very loud, indeed. May his soul rest in peace.
The hurdle was already high. The circumstance given to him was already full of struggle. And yet, the one thing he believed in kept him going, FREEDOM. The goal kept him going. All the odds were against him. He created his own path. He forgave people who did him wrong. He preached LOVE and FAITH. He preached PEACE. He preached FREEDOM. And look how far he came. Life is what you make it. We have it so much easier than what he went through. At least I do. Even though the things that seems tough for me, might seem like a luxurious vacation for some people. My family is alive and well. I'm alive and well.I have people who care about me. I have a place to live and job to pay the bills. That's already more than enough blessing. The rest, those are the issues I'm making it as issues. The moment I shift my perspective, anything else shouldn't matter. I'm the only person who can put limit on myself. I'm the only person who can let things feel in certain way. I'm the only person who can say no to myself. I'm the only person who can say YES to the situation and keep going. I'm the only person who can say I'm good enough to do whatever I put my mind to it. It's easier said than done. It's true. But we all have that power to do it.
You see, don't let yourself blinded by things or circumstances. You already have so much blessing in your life. You have a power to shift the perspective. Whatever you're facing right now, it can be your strength or be your own worst enemy. The choice is yours. Things that seems impossible is impossible because you put a limit to yourself. Your love, your faith, and you are so much greater than you think. Things might not happen over night or the time you want it to happen. But we still have to keep showing up. Show up to your own life. You can do it.
Love
