Even As The Raft Will Drift, The Lotus Will Reunite

 

Sifting through my current events updates over in Malaysia, Nurul Izzah, the smart daughter of its PM Anwar Ibrahim, confirmed she was joining the fray as a deputy president candidate for the upcoming PKR elections.  And as she noted that everything, including the kitchen sink, seems to be thrown on her even from within the PKR party, she lamented that EVEN AS THE RAFT WILL DRIFT, eventually THE LOTUS WILL REUNITE📗📙📘

Indeed, this has been the perennial challenge everyone of us will face, WHEN the real nemesis will come from within your family, your party, your own aggrupation.  p.s. Let's exclude the woes of politicians because they live in the rough-and-tumble world of the rowdy world of politics.  BUT for us laymen, life is always full of UPs and DOWNs.  One day, we may feel like we have figured things out.  Then, things become fluid💧💧💧

In a moment's notice, we could be thrown that dreaded curve ball.  YES, you're NOT alone in those feelings.  Everyone of us has to face their own set of challenges. Learning HOW to overcome those challenges will help us stay centered, on course and remain calm even WHEN we are under intense pressure and stress.  True, everyone has his/her own preferences for HOW to face a challenge in life📌📌📌

NOW, much as I'll share HOW did I go through all these in life, the caveat here is that there is NO ONE SIZE THAT FITS ALL.  I can only share HOW I extricated myself BUT WHETHER one can replicate WHAT I did to his/her situation, it's something you will have to figure out tweaking and fine-tuning it to adapt to your very unique circumstances.  BUT first and foremost, we got to have a PLAN.  MAKE A PLAN.  WHILE you DON'T know WHAT is going on to happen in the future, you can plan ahead and look at the shaping patterns in your life and see WHAT challenges you've struggled with😌😌😌

Our takeaway:  I've been in that quagmire countless times and WHAT kept my head above water was my unsullied faith and belief that much as I was going through one of the toughest ordeals in life, I always reminded myself that surely, others were in much worst situations.  Realizing that, I would even tap my shoulder to remind myself that I'm fortunate enough because my situation is NOT the worst ever.  YES, EVEN AS THE RAFT WILL DRIFT, THE LOTUS WILL REUNITE💚💛💜
