Learning and growing

A new year comes with its own set of resolutions. But how strong are we really to follow them. It's actually a test of our strength and our grit. Sometimes, we listen to the emotional turmoil that's inside us and give into temptation, but that's what we need to fight. If we're really weak, then we are never going to grow. We will never be wiser. We will just be tread on by our own self and allow the world to do so. If we are so open to hurt, then no one could respect us. If we're going to be someone, then we need to get things right, we need to set our course straight. We need to be steadfast and accept what fate holds for us. Sometimes, we can steer our lives, and sometimes God seems to have an upper hand. Sometimes, no matter how much we try, we seem to get it all wrong, things don't fall into place and we really never grow up. All we need to do is, take a good long hard look and learn to smile in the most trying times. Maybe that's how we will learn. Maybe it holds the key to growing up, to being a little wiser. to not repeat a few mistakes, to understand love's endurance.
