Greetings to all you guys in here, fighting every day to create a better version of yourself and conquer, dominate, and live fully. I'm one of you, and today I'm here to make a post about something that happened and changed my perspective of life.

Two days ago I lost my mother, she was suffering from cancer for years now and really fought it. The thought that a woman fought this hard, for me, and this woman being my mother gave me a whole new perspective of thought and action from the moment she left this life behind. She fought till the end. She fought to teach me that we must go on no matter the cost or difficulty, it's what makes us strong and helps us through.

After this moment I said to myself, "I am a man now." My mind started moving into different patterns on it's own, that I had never even thought of, the shock and awe was that big that after a roller coaster of emotions I came to realise I have to be a man now, and take responsibility, move on forward, it gave me a hard kick in the balls that pushed me to continue fighting and create new opportunities in the future, which is now. The time is always now. You cannot wait to drown in sorrow and fall apart until you get over it. You never completely forget, you move on and the good memories stay there in the end. Time doesn't wait. There is no past, no future, just now. I took my chance to talk to her for the last time and spoke my last words to her, in tears knowing this will end and I said my goodbye.

From now on, I am a new person. Doing things like getting out of my comfort zone looks like taking candy from a baby. Connecting to my inner self and finding all the motive and courage through my pain helps me go on and build a better future for me and my dad, and work towards the best which I am going to achieve, it will not come by itself. No matter how hard it is, how much I want to subside and stay down I have to fight and go against my will to fall.

Life is difficult, Life is pain. But through PAIN and SORROW we come to realise the true meaning of happiness, and joy in our life, else it wouldn't exist, or wouldn't matter if things like this didn't happen. We also get to understand that sometime all of us will come to an end one day.

SO take your chances NOW, arm yourself, stick to your guns and go out ther and CONQUER.

Don't be afraid to connect to people, to show your genuine interest and appreciation, and especially to your family. Once you're alone you will either realise all this and do the best you can or fall apart. DO the first.

My love to all of you out there reading this, Thank you for everything you've taught me that helps get through and build a new life.
