The quote, “Our ability to handle life’s challenges is a measure of our strength of character” given by Sir Les Brown, has always resonated with me. Challenges are vital part of our lives and we have to overcome them in order to move and strive forward in our lives. Moreover, every challenge that we go through teaches us something about ourselves and also about life and prepares us and gives us a greater sense of strength to face the challenges that are yet to arrive. I believe every individual in his/her life at some point or the other has to go through certain challenges and struggles, which is also, what makes him/her unique in a very different way. One of the greatest struggles that I went through was the time when my younger brother passed away two years ago, life at that point seemed impossible for everybody in the family, the pain and the helplessness that we all went through was unbearable. I had almost given up on life, but somewhere, something in me asked, would he like to see us giving up, that feeling within me forced me to try to get things to normal, though after certain events happen in our life, it cannot remain the same, but still we all tried and are still trying to live our lives as beautifully as we can, because that is the way he would have wanted all of us to live. But after going through something as big as that, I am extremely sure that I could go through anything in life and will never give up over anything. I will fight through life for life and shall always be grateful for everything that I have in my life.
