ENDURANCE

We face many different situations in life every day. They may be good, bad, and sometimes really ugly. They mould us, bend us, break us - but, eventually they pass and leave us with something that we learnt or experienced. Something called – a change.

We are taught to stand up and fight, and also sometimes to back off and move on. All in all we are taught to endure. Endure the situation, the pain, the happiness, and above all endure whatever lies within us, may it be joy, fear, guilt, hatred or anything else. Endurance makes us strong, independent, and responsible. It helps us find out who we are meant to be.

But, does asking for help or taking support make us weak and dependent?

Maybe. Maybe not.

During the peak of summer, little extra water provides the plant with the only element it needs to make food and energy to survive. Similarly, a few kind words (or some bitter ones) do not make us weak. They make us strong enough to survive the situation. They help us endure and leave us with what is called – a change!

Endure. Survive. Change.
