#CoronaChronicles:- Face off the challenge

Since the time we take birth on earth we start facing challenges. Only the face of these challenges keeps on changing.

For a small child who starts learning to walk and talk the initial days are very tough, when joining nursery classes the parents and the kids both feel so much emotion, For a school going child exams are the toughest time. For someone entering college getting into a course of his choice is the biggest challenge. For someone going for an InterView getting the job means the world, for someone entering married life finding the right spouse is a big task, When we have children the entire process seems so difficult. With the progression of age, the tasks at hand just keep on becoming more and more complicated and tough. Life throws at us so many tough situations yet we brave it out, every human being is born so gifted so that he can survive in this world in the harshest times by overcoming all problems.

At any given point in human life, we feel the problems we face currently are the biggest problems and they bring discomfort to our minds. We wish they resolve soon and we find peace comfort and solace. In reality, as we grow older and look back at life We often laugh at those times which worried us so much and wonder why were we even bothered by those trivial matters.

As we face times like today we feel this is the toughest challenge we have ever encountered.  We feel pinned down. Mentally we face turmoil, our growing anxiety and restlessness make us lose calm. We do not see the end of the dark tunnel. We can’t see any ray of hope.

I salute the resilient nature of mankind. Despite facing so much over centuries in the form of wars, sickness, etc yet human beings continue to be a strong breed. Nothing has ever been able to break this strength that we possess and that’s the beauty of our species.

So when today’s thoughts of helplessness crop up in your mind just reflect on the past and think of how far as a race after winning numerous battles, crossing Herculean obstacles we have emerged victorious. And how even at personal levels in every person’s life we have crossed so many difficult situations so bravely and emerged out stronger.

We possess a resilience no one can break.

Do not stop looking for the ray of light at the end of this dark road. Do not undermine your strength. These challenges may change face but they only make you much stronger. This too shall pass.

Stay home. Stay Safe.
