NEVER GIVE UP!

"When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
When you think you cannot bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!

"Because it is in the time and place that the course will divert." - Rumi

I have received so many messages from people all over the world who are experiencing hardship at the moment. A single mother with no income or food to feed her four children. Men desperate to go to the unniversity to make a better life for themselves but unable to find employment to help pay for the education.

Know that no matter how lonely or lost you feel, you are never alone. There are many others just like you all around the world that are struggling to find a light at the end of the tunnel.

Change is never easy especially when it feels like all the odds are stacked against you. I know how hard it can be. I spent so many years trying to overcome hardship. What I learnt during those days of hardship was that we all had something very precious deep within us.

Deep within the earth a diamond is formed, when extreme pressure is applied to coal over a long period of time. The longer the pressure is appied, the more forceful the pressure is, the clearer the diamond is. Deep  within your soul are your own diamonds.

You can handle the change, hardship and the confusion in your life for GOD is watching over you and remember that GOD does not give you anything that you cannot handle.

Pray for the disadvantaged and embrace the change happening in your life. We might not understand the reason or purpose for it now, but in time, you will discover the diamonds within you and use them to improve your life.
