If you have read my previous article, and tried to practice smiling, congratulations! 😉
You truly have started your journey to becoming better! 💪 Keep it up!🥳
The more you smile, the more you feel better!
But reality is, life is not easy! And I truly understand that you would feel smiling is not enough.
If you are a student, you would be studying very hard to get good grades. During exams, a lot of stress builds up.
It would be tougher if you are a working adult, because you are now catching up with your bills. Unlike when you were a student where you just ask money from your parents.😅
If you are a parent, it would also be tough because you have bills to pay and if you have kids, you also have to take care of them. If you are to support your parents, that’s even more challenging!
So again, I truly understand you would feel smiling is not enough.
Yes, life is tough!
But you have to remember, there is always sunshine after the rain!
Many years back, I went to the US to attend a conference. One of the speakers was a single mom and she was sharing her life’s journey.
When her 2 kids were younger, everything seems alright.
However, as they grew, she noticed one of her kids had problem breathing. It was found out that one of her daughter had cystic fibrosis. That daughter had a double-lung transplant but still she didn’t make it.
Little did she know, her 2nd daughter also had cystic fibrosis.
Now that’s a double blow!
But she still manage to smile because she believes there is always hope!
One of the lessons I learned from her is how she responded to life’s challenges.
Instead of giving up because of her problems, she fought hard and push thru life no matter how tough life can be!
She’s always looking at the bright side, that things can get better!
Life is tough!
BUT YOU ARE TOUGHER! 💪
Keep smiling! It is the way to show that you are not defeated! Don’t give up!

I also experienced a double blow in my life, though life is tough but I know I can be tougher with God in my heart.
