Struggles and hardships

All of us, everyone in the world has their own set of hardships. No one can be compared to the other. No one should be saying "Oh, you think you've got it rough. Well look what I've got to go through." Everyone is different, and difficulties weigh differently on different people. Trying to compare them would be like trying to compare the weights animals can carry. Some can carry larger, some can carry smaller, but it would be the same physical strain on each in comparison. A mouse can pull a stick while an elephant can pull a tree, but the exertion on each, if scaled, would be the same.
    But moving onto the main point of this post, I'll start with this. Sometimes we feel like giving up because things feel too hard. We're tired of fighting and don't feel like we have the strength to keep going. But here's the thing. We will never be faced with something that's impossible to overcome. No matter how hard it is or how tired it makes us, it's not impossible. Sometimes you you'll lose ground, you'll fall back the the very edge, teetering on the edge of oblivion. But that's where it matters most to fight, to push forward. You never have to give in to it. Even if you lose a lot during any struggle or hardship, you'll gain ten times more when you've overcome it. They aren't something to be feared. Just know that you have to push through each one. Look at the light at the end of the tunnel, not the darkness around you. Because staring into the darkness gets you no where, but looking at the light gives you something to strive towards. Everyone has struggles and hardships, that's not something we can control. However we can control what we do when we're having them, and how hard we push to get through them. So a word of encouragement, don't give up or run away, because the reward is worth the work.
