He was so strong. He was always helpful. His friends looked up to him. His family looked up to him. His parents looked up to him. He started from zero and made a fortune. He worked hard and was trying to keep the family together. Everyone was turning selfish. Sometimes he felt that his own mother was mean to him. He would break down but then he would stand up again. I wondered from where did he get that strength? He smiled and said that I had no other option. He supported them and he supported those who should have supported him. His friends turned their faces away when he needed them but he never turned his face away. In the toughest of times, he kept standing tall and kept becoming strong. He shared that he had decided he would never give up on himself. Amidst all this, his roots were becoming strong and he was becoming further strong. He knew how to handle the biggest challenges of life. At the age of 60, he was able to start special programs to support poor ladies and children.
Some people are like trees. They stand alone and everybody takes refuge under them. Whether it’s birds or the grass or the travelers. They keep standing tall and they keep giving support to others. Some are like weaklings and they take support from these trees to climb upon.
We need to see what would we want to become. We all would have a time in life when we have to stand alone. So better we start strengthening our roots for that instead of getting washed out with one whiff of rain. We cannot give up on life, we cannot give up on ourselves and we cannot turn negative for that. We have to march ahead with the light and positivity and then life would bless us with everything.
