RUN AND FIND THE LIGHT

Hey, hold on a second. Just listen to me for five minutes. I know you're busy, maybe heading to college, rushing to work, or chasing something precious. But please, just hear me out. I promise I won't take long, and after this, you can go on your way.

It's okay if you're going through the toughest times of your life. It's okay if you're suffering inside and want to scream it out. It's okay if you feel like you're drowning in a sea of heavy waves with no escape. It's okay if your loved ones aren't standing by your side. It's okay if you're tortured by the narrow-mindedness of those you care about. It's okay if the whole world seems against you.

It's okay if you're in the darkest part of your life, unable to see or feel your own hands. It's okay if you're stranded in a scorching desert, crying for help but finding no one. It's okay if you feel mentally tortured. It's okay if you're at a crossroads, unsure which path to take. It's okay if your prayers go unanswered. It's okay if you're physically and emotionally exhausted. It's okay if you want to cry your heart out. It's okay if you're not winning. It's okay if you want to overcome everything but can't.

It's okay.

It's okay as long as there is a tiny ray of hope inside you. Even if it's weak, even if it won't stay for long, even if it's far away. This ray of hope might be within you, around you, or even far from you, but it's there, waiting to be noticed. Just give your best one last time, use all your strength, and hold onto that hope tightly. Make it powerful enough to pull you from the darkness into the light.

If no light is visible, gather your courage and take just two steps forward. Deep down, you know you'll find that light. Take the lessons from your struggles, and start running towards the light without looking back. Run with all your might, holding onto that ray of hope. Remember, no one else can run your race for you. No one else can define you but yourself. No one else can live your dream the way you want to.

So, why let anything hold you back? Just run. Run, or this world will make your life even darker and more painful. Run if you want to see the new light. Run, and your heart will expel all the pain, setting you free. Run and find solid ground where the waves can't reach you. Run so you can see your own hands. Run towards the oasis in the desert. Run, and the road will open up before you.

As long as you have hope, keep running. Only running will make you physically, mentally, and emotionally strong and peaceful. If you want peace, run. Run and catch your dream. Make it your own, and don't let anyone snatch it away. This dream is yours, and yours alone. Show the world what you can do. Show them that even a tiny ant can conquer a mighty elephant. Show the world your presence, your value. Show them that what you can do, no one else in this universe can.

"Believe you can and you're halfway there." . Tell the world who you are, by yourself. Don't let others define you. So run, run to your fullest.
