“I don’t want someone’s reason to hate their life. I want to be someone’s reason to seek something more in their life.” — Nick Vujicic

Life is full of unpredictable situations. Sometimes, we feel that we are the luckiest person in the world. But then, when a difficult situation comes, our life is broken. We don’t know why it happens to us. We become feel empty in our life. We hope a miracle comes and probably said, “How can I stand strong like other people. How to live a better life?”

The above question made me confused with my life. I had been a man who lost enthusiasm in life. Because life punched me back and took me down like a loser. I lost my dream and hope. I didn’t know what to do in my life.

One day, my life changed.

God gave me a chance to try something new. A new challenging task. I was really happy. I took the chance for a period of time. I tried to perform well. Then I seek for improvement.

The experience taught me how to be patient. Ya, I just need to be patient.

Someone said, “Do the best. Let God do the rest.”

I believe that God will not leave us.

Then I realize, “I can’t wait to be perfect. I gotta do something. I should start with what I have today. Today is my day.”

I spend my day to know myself better.

Then I create a sense of urgency. I optimize my strength almost every day. It probably won’t change my life drastically. But it works. I feel more controlled. I feel more confident. I am grateful for what I have, for what I can.

Today, I can stand strong even though I still feel empty. I fill in the emptiness by developing my strength and potential. Like pouring freshwater into an empty glass.

Now I know that my problem is logical. I can’t stand strong because I am not confident enough. I simply don’t believe in my potential.

How about your life? Have you ever feel empty with your life?

If so, you are not alone.

From now and then, don’t let you lose enthusiasm in life. Don’t let you feel empty for a long time. Just remember that you have to stand strong.

You might be feeling empty. But you can seek something more in your life.
