Live with it

One very important lesson that I have learnt in my life is that we all have our shortcomings, fears, our inadequacies. Some of us even live in constant pain- physical or emotional all the time. We are not perfect, we are not complete, but how we treat our weaknesses, how we adapt them in our day to day life, defines who we are. 

Some of our fears, some of our pains are not going anywhere, they are part of us. We have to live with it - or more precisely live around it. Living is not easy, maybe easier for some more than others, but we still it would be foolish to assume that the person who is giving you that confident smile, doesn't have its own little hell hidden in some corner of his brain. 

How you deal with your fears, with your shortcomings is the end who you end up being.  You have the choice to either wallow in self-pity and restrict your life - blaming it all on fate and your shortcomings, or you can take a detour and work around it. 

If you are afraid of the dark, light a lamp, if you are afraid of driving on the highway, take the internal lanes..... whatever restricts you , whatever pulls you down, you always have the choice to work around it. We all have our insecurities, even the strongest of us - even the most confident.What matters is whether you have the courage to face it and even if overcoming it seems insurmountable, can you work your way around it?  

We all have to live with our fears, pain and losses - and they will be mutate as life happens, old fears giving into new, but living with it, accepting it and working it in our day to day life, and ensuring that it doesn't hinder our growth, but enhances our character is what inpirational living is all about.
