Remember that sour feeling you get when you have read for long hours without a break
Remember that tense feeling that holds you down when you recall you have upcoming exams which you are unready for
Remember that long and heavy sigh you heave when you recall the mountain of work you still have to do
Remember the arches and the cramps you feel on your back and on your hands when you sit for long hours on the computer attending to course works
Remember the various friendships and relationships you allow to suffer because you have an unbalanced busy life
Remember the intense frustration that envelops you when you face difficult challenges while attending to a task
Remember the radiant smile that fills your heart and fills your lips
That overwhelming feeling of joy, of happiness, of accomplishment that over takes your entire being and envelops your heart and soul
When you have achieved a set goal
When you have struggled and have succeeded
When you have tried and eventually have passed
These are the things that make us human
These are the things that keep us going
This is the reason we live
So next time you find yourself in a hard spot, busy, challenged, frustrated
Remember, it is only but a short while
Difficulties may last throughout the night but surely laughter comes in the morning
