everybody is happy but me...
This morning my friend who is struggling with depression called up. She was reading out a mail that she has written to her spiritual teacher. The mail was so depressing that I asked her not to mail. She started crying and telling me everybody is happy but me. Everybody is smiling but me. I have been trying for six months and when I had to bring it into implementation I failed. I give up now.
How many of us give up, just because they have failed once or twice. How many of us give up trying, thinking oh why it is easy for others and for me it is so tough. The fact is they all have gone through 10 or 20 years of hardship and its just their time of reaping the fruits. They must have failed for 1000 times, but they got up saying I will give one more try.
I have noticed all the people who have achieved great heights have gone through a lot of setbacks and heartbreaks. The only choice they made was not to give up. If you look at Joyce Meyer she looks so radiant, but there were years of darkness in her life. Oprah Winfrey had such a bad childhood, preganent at the age of 12, gave birth to a dead child, sexually abused. We just see their success but do we ever see the years of suffering these people have gone through.
These people did not give up by looking at the happiness of other people. They made the choice to stand and fight the battle. The people who say everybody is happy but me should rethink their statement.
