SECRECY STRENGTHEN YOUR STRUGGLES

No man in life is immune to struggle, no one is exempt from dealing with tough and unwanted situations; however, how you react, behave or carry yourself during these situations, determines what will become of you, during and after that situation. When you keep your struggles secret, you strengthen it to destroy you, you give it more power to weigh you down, you are unknowingly nurturing it to surpress you.

One major secret to overcoming your struggles is to share it with people who will not judge you for your mistakes, criticise you for your misdeeds, or crucify you for your failures, but will encourage you to get things right, show you the path towards growth, and support you to rise from your fall and failure; people who will hold your hands high up when you are weak, lowly, and lonely; people who will not just be a backbone for you, but knows exactly how to help you get to where you were meant to be.

You don't fight a blind but strong enemy in the dark, you will be putting yourself at a disadvantage. You will rather bring it into the light where you are able to see his next move and know how to defend yourself. A tree does not make a forest. Fighting in silence against an opponent who is stronger than you, is like committing yourself to a suicide mission. Life is a batlle of strategies, you must identify and understand the strategy that works best for you.

The journey is an individual journey, but the fight is never yours alone to fight. Do not be shy, afraid, or reluctant to bring in people who are able, capable, and willing to help you win the fight. The fight with life is unfair, and if you allow it, it will beat you down and out before you even realise that you were on a battlefield. Don't keep your struggles to yourself, you will only strengthen it, but bring it into the open arena, and give yourself a shot at victory.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
