When you've been played by TIME, it never cares what part of your life being played upon. You may be tested from the strength of your own faith, being played how would you struggle to survive with or with out sufficient source of your income and sometimes all of what you have would be taken from you as part of the "Game Of Life".
Some people could not hold it anymore that resulted to suicide to escape the hardships and heavy trials, some resulted to health problems and some resulted to jail or being killed from the crime committed to end the "game". Obviously this is common already in our environment these days.
This topic came up in my mind because this is what really happening to me for quite sometime. How I wish I could already wake up if this is only my nightmares. How sweet and refreshing if someday I could win all of these ongoing trials of mine which I've been experiencing until now.
This reminded me of a Bible Story of the life of Job - hope you're familiar with this story - he was truly a faithful servant of God that has been tested from all of what he had, being stripped-off from all of his richness until it came to a situation that his wife advised Job to curse his God. But Job remained steadfast on his ground until he won and God gave double what Job had before as a reward of being patience and strong in his conviction to remain on what God can do to his life. For me, this is an inspiring story to those who'd been heavily burden.
I hope I could have like Job patience that I could use to battle this "game" that am on it which is hosted by Time...
Did you have a life's trial that you had win before ? Would you be kind enough to share it to..?

Every day in my life there is something that is a trial. I am disabled so most things are harder for me. Even turning over in bed can be a chore! It takes me a long time to do things that I used to be able to do quickly. I have to have help from various people to do some things and I must be patient. I used to do everything right away and finished everything, it was hard for me to realize that everyone doesn't feel that way. The good thing is that you appreciate the little things that you still can do, a lot of able bodied people don't know how good they have it!

Yes my friend, I understand your situation. If I would think our both situation I don't know if I could survive the way how you manage your situation. I am sorry for my friend but I guess we have different hardships and trial that are the meter stick of our patience and endurance of how we manage our own "handicaps".
Thanks for responding my friend...

I think everyone of us would have encountered one hardship or more during our walk in the path of life. The only difference is the degree of severity. I met with mine when I was retrenched in the early days of my career for my performance although I thought that I did not do too badly. It was such a humiliating experience. I was so ashamed of it that I lost my self-confidence totally. I retreated to my shell and did not look for work actively for two years. Luckily I recovered and I rejoined the real life. It could have been worse if I was thinking too negatively.
My friend, be strong. All of it is just something that will pass one day. Keep thinking positively. Things will get better. Be confident in yourself. You will make it!

Yes my friend I strongly believe that no matter how long the tunnel may be, there must always a light at the end. What I experience right now would have an end if I could only be patient and focus on what I am doing that I think the right thing for me to do...thanks for that inspiring message my friend..

Hey, I just came up with a topic very similar to yours but only learned about it after I had submitted it. In it I shared how impatient I was back in the day and how I am trying to conquer or minimize it. I agree with everything you said. Patience is still a virtue.
