There are moments in our lives when we begin to realize that
there are people around us who slip through life without any worries as if they
were destined to be lucky ALL THE TIME. We struggle hard and the wind still
blows, hardships seem to have no end, money does not come. Whatever we touch
turns into a rotten pulp instead of gold. During these periods of hardships
(especially when you have someone literally turning everything s/he touches into
gold, totally unlike you) find comfort in comparing yourself to a diamond. Imagine
each of the hardships as a facet on your precious surface leading you closer to
your ultimate shine. Go even deeper into this comparison and imagine those “golden
lipped ones” as being ordinary pebbles that were formed by sea, sand, rain, and
a blow of the wind. In opposition to you, they will be treated mildly by the
environment they are in, till the moment they become sand themselves and begin
to form other pebbles. You, on the other hand, are different. You may have already experienced some tiny glimpses of that you somehow stand out, not only
through a careful observation of the ones around you, but also stemming from
your inner self. Hold on to that feeling because you are right! Things do not
come easy to you, sometimes you have to wait in line, but the outcome will
leave you breathless, because it will all stop one day. You are bound to shine
and that is the major difference between you and the ordinary pebbles. That is
why the pebbles are treated so mildly by fate – why even bother to add facets
to their surface and waste the precious diamond polisher on something that is incapable
of shining! Hold on to that inner light you have inside of you. It is there,
even though it is not visible yet. One day the process of polishing will be over
and you will smash everyone with your priceless beauty!
