I have experienced many tragic events in my life at a very young. Growing up, I had lost my strength and inspiration by losing my loved ones. I was grieving and didn’t know what grief was; I was simply numb and thought I was normal. The grief I experienced had power within it. It drove me to fight through many obstacles and be where I currently am. I experienced many failures in the midst of fighting through that grief, but at the same time, it drove me to the completion line.
The grief I experienced, it engrossed me with power to excel and do more for a better future. The power within my grief was the power of my strength and inspiration that I lost at a very young age.
It’s been over a decade since I experienced those events, I was a young girl then; at this point in my life, I am a college-educated female with a government job (which I love), living a stable life. Of course, my journey isn’t over yet, I have yet to accomplish much more. I may be still grieving at this point in my life because there are some things that never fade away, but I still have that power within, which keeps on driving me forward.
So to all of you who are grieving and giving up, please don’t give up! Utilize the power within that grief and fight on, let it drive you forward and excel in life. Life is a gift, learn to enjoy that gift and cherish every moment, even the failures.
