One bright morning when I woke up, I looked around myself, there wasn’t anybody and there was a pin drop silence all over. I sat beside a window and found myself lonely. Sometimes I felt kind of lost. I felt like everyone around me is going somewhere, doing something and always with someone and I felt like I was all alone to share good moments with. Hey buddies! I would like to share few words with you. Friends, life’s challenges are only there to show you that you are stronger, more capable and more creative then you ever thought. Sometimes situations are like when you’re all alone, feeling like someone has left you in a dark room and there is no light which can show you the right path. All dreams and hopes just go on drowning and the darkness just covers all your dreams with negative thoughts. This is the fact of life! My granny is my ideal person and she used to say two things to me: “you were born alone and you’ll die alone” and “the only thing I have to do is stay back and die”. Those two sayings are pertinent in my message and making me remind of her, because they support my view that you’ve to stand alone. The choice is not always made because you want to, but because it’s absolutely necessary to take the right decision in your life. She used to say that man is his own master. He is only responsible for good or bad things happening around him as the cause of his deeds. The only person who has to support you is ‘you’ and he who knows how to glow light even in darkness is the real survivor.

sions in life based on our own experiences of what works and what doesn’t. Doing the right things can sometimes harm you and can be painful but it has to be done. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve the problems but we had to face them head on. Sometimes you find your life flowing in directions that you haven’t anticipated. You may feel depressed about something that happened in the past or anxious about something that may yet happen. You may find yourself feeling lonely even when you’re not alone, unsuccessful although you’ve tried hard, lacking confidence although you lack no resources, broken-hearted because someone left you, or even worse, feeling bad without knowing why. Whenever loneliness pinches you, make her your friend and think for yourself what you want to do in your upcoming future by making the correct decisions. It might be difficult and painful in the beginning; it would take time but things get settled on and you’ll freshen yourself up with new hopes and aspirations. The human being is like an ultimate machine, if you know how to use it; you’ll be able to control on your life instead of letting it control you. You’ll be able to live a happy life.
Here I end up saying that whatever the situation may be, admit it the way it is, face it and just wait for something good. I just want to give a message to all those people who feel lonely in their life and hurt themselves. I want to say that when life brings you in darkness, Here is a question I would like to ask you all. We often hold ourdon’t do anything.
