Stranded in the Seas

Imagine yourself in a boat. The squall is on with no hope for survival. You stand dejected amidst the sea waiting for a miracle, hoping in hindsight that a superhero shall make an entry to rescue you.
To experience this though, you need not go on a sea trip.The storm being tantamount to the never ending challenges and the superhero being god. It's believed that if god creates a problem, he gives you power to surmount it as well. For all atheists, it may sound pacifying but it does stand true.
When faced with the agony of circumstances, we lose our temperament, the hope that makes this life worthwhile. Everything in life is certainly not a bed of roses. But we are the curator of the garden of our life. "What you sow is what you reap", the well known adage fits in here. But what if we sow the plants and run away?No wonder, the blight of our asset will become certain. We need to regularly water the saplings, remove the pests and weeds, so that one fine day, they blossom and spread their fragrance all around. Same holds true with life. We sow our thoughts and dreams. But we need to work towards them diligently and protect them form wilting. Pests are nothing but challenges we face in life, and you can't always hope that a superhero will come to your rescue. 
You are the storehouse of all power god has endowed upon you and so you're your own savior, your very own 'superhero'.  It's this 'hope' that keeps the candle of our life burning.
Face the storms with fortitude, shed off your torpor, surmount your fears. Sail through the storms, the shore may not be far behind.

"Learn to defeat the defeat before the defeat defeats you".
