Struggles Decided Who I Am

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger." by Constance La France struggles, integral part of human life.. I had my share of battle! Am I sad because I did? No. struggles made me stronger each time I encountered it on my path. my mirror? pristine clear water of a lake... couldn't recognize my own decisive face. experienced surge of determination in my heart, whenever faced an obstacle. my steps were resolute, I walked forward. when a feeling of miserable emptiness enveloped me, when I felt imprisoned in a cage with no window to escape, flowers didn't bloom in my delightful garden mellifluous Koel didn't sing the song she does...I felt breathless...I decided to find the key to emancipation a candle burns to illuminate a space, to spread the aroma to our existence, painted future with opalescent colours of the sky, borrowed pleasing fragrance from ambrosial Jasmine, tall shadowy trees gave me shade, aquamarine waterfalls descending from steep mountain-tops, released in me the harmonious rhythm of life. no shackles can bind you when you decide to be free!
