Overcoming the Crisis
Muawad Mustafa Rashid
It is not an end, but rather a start. Things appear from first glance that is coming to an end, but in reality, it is the start from another different angle that is absent from the scope of our sight. So it needs us to change the angle of view to determine and discover new beginnings.
We pass very difficult moments and turns and this part of the journey, but our dealing with it makes the difference. Some of us look at it negatively and give up, while others confront the challenges bravely and optimistically as they recognize that it is a means to sharpen the motives to continue the path whatever difficulties.
Nothing lasts forever. Some enormous difficulties and crises passed in our life and the lives of our elders, but they became just memories that pass as a story or an experience. What is going on these days is a big event in its time, but one day it will be just a memory.
It is up to you to choose the memory. We are the ones who shape that memory through our dealing with it, along with our stance towards it and our overcoming it. The difficult experiences teach us that the principles will last and hold up. Several things will pass under the bridge, but our values and identity will determine who we are.
Don’t let the outside factors lead your convictions. You should stick to what you believe in because is in the end will be your personality. Our success is not what we do for ourselves only. The thinking limited to oneself is coated with selfishness with different names.
We should think about others who are surrounding us because a lot of them deserve concern, especially in their difficult times. Those who care for others and contribute in their communities to give happiness to others are those who make life more beautiful.
Life needs good faith, optimism, and contentment that whatever difficulties we pass are exceptional and that goodwill includes all of us at the end of the day. The first step to overcoming the crisis is the strong belief that it will come to an end.
