"Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence." Vince Lombardi
It is said that action breeds confidence and courage and at the same time inaction creates fear, being dependent on others too creates fear. So how to live your life confidently and courageously? There are ways to live your life with confidence and courage. You must act and try to be independent.
Yesterday night, my wife's aunt died of a heart attack on the way to the hospital. She was declared brought dead by the hospital. The children didn't know what to do other than to cry and weep for their mother. My wife's aunt celebrated her daughter's birthday with her family and after dinner around 10pm she felt restlessness and uneasy to breathe. She began sweating and then they decided to take her to the hospital and unfortunately she couldn't survive leaving her loving husband and wonderful children alone.
She managed her house very well looking after all family members. She was a perfect woman of praise, admiration and love. Today was her funeral service. It is
dark and uncertain for the family. They were dependent on their mother so much. But they must learn to live confidently and courageously. Sometimes life knocks us very hard to be responsible for every aspect of life.
This family must overcome the grief and take up the responsibility to shape their lifestyle as they want. Every day thousands of people die of different illnesses and many families have to grieve for the loss. For some loss is very big and costs a lot but while others manage to get by in life.
The point I want to make here is that no matter what is the circumstances, people must learn to have confidence and courage. At first there will be on confidence and courage but as the week and month pass, they have to assume a great responsibility. The confidence and courage will come if they really understand that nothing is over yet.
I would encourage people who have lost their dear and near ones but they have no one to support or look after, they must never lose hope and inspiration to continue to live their lives. There is a universal power which can sustain and provide everybody what we need on this earth. Have a hope and take action to look for positive points. Live everyday as a normal day and things will improve.
