The Light at The End of The Tunnel Pt.2

This is Part 2 of the article that deals with those depressing points in our lives. These lines are derived from the invaluable advice that I've gotten from some amazing people through the years.

Life is temporary. 

And so is everything we encounter along the way.

Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. Darkness is always followed by light! You get reminded of this every morning, but still you  forget and instead choose to believe that the night lasts forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.

So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever.  

If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either!

Other peoples' negativity is not your problem.

Be positive when negativity surrounds you. Smile when others try to bring you down. It’s an easy way to maintain your enthusiasm and focus. When other people treat you poorly, keep being you. Don’t ever let someone else’s bitterness change the person you are. You should not take things too personally, even if it seems personal. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them. 

Above all, don’t ever change just to impress someone who says you’re not good enough. Change because it makes you a better person and leads you to a brighter future.  People are going to talk regardless of what you do or how well you do it.  So worry about yourself before you worry about what others think. If you believe strongly in something, don’t be afraid to fight for it. Great strength comes from overcoming what others think is impossible.

I've unfortunately met many of these elitists. They always assume that their way of doing things is the epitome of perfection. Moreover, they also assume that there is nothing more to a person other than what is apparent to them at face value. But the most annoying part is that they don't acknowledge the value of any skills other than those which they themselves posses. 

Well, dealing with such individuals is a part of life too. And the earlier you get a taste of it, the better you'll be able to handle them effectively.

That's all for this topic. Hope you all enjoyed this experimental format! Let me know how it resonates with you in the comments.
