Life Struggles Quotes

“The Accidental American (Naskaristana 2753) Five whole years I went from door to door, looking for support, I wanted to build my own tech startup, but all I received was ridicule and advise - finally I withdrew myself from the nation I was born in, and placed all my attention on America - I had zero money, my only assets were my heart and brain, which was all I needed to reshape America, then the whole world. The Naskar you know is a direct outcome of the entrepreneur that never came to life - naskar the youngster failed in his innovation dreams, so Naskar the Civilization emerged as the earth way of life.”

“No Struggle No Life (The Sonnet) Ain't no life without struggle, Ain't no heart without heartbreak. Ain't no destination without the journey, Ain't no courage without some dread. Ain't no clarity without some confusion, Ain't no serenity without suffering. Ain't no contentment without disappointment, Ain't no resilience without failing. Ain't no mindfulness without mindlessness, Ain't no uplift without some devastation. Ain't no knowledge without ignorance, Ain't no salvation without self-annihilation. Ain't no I without the Us, without the We. Ain't no We, unless the norm is nonbinary.”

“Valley of Light (The Sonnet) Behind every cloud, There is a silver lining. The cloud is in the mind, So is the silver lining. The brush is born of mind, The paint as well is born of mind. If the painting has no color, That too is because of the mind. When the mind is bright so is the sun, When the heart is dark so is the sun. When everything looks dull, just look inside, You'll discover, all along you've been the sun. Heart is the gateway to its own valley of light. Heart is the pedestrian, heart is the might.”

“It's only young people who make giant, life-altering decisions based on what other people might think, and it's because they don't see their own death looming. Their fear is, "Will my family, friends and lovers admire me?" whereas an older person's fear is that vision of themselves lying in a hospital bed, a breathing tube up their nose and the thought running through their heads, "Why didn't I at least try to do what I wanted to do, while I had the chance?”

“The author explores the contours of a restless mind racked with fear and doubt and questions the origins of his personal disenchantment and cynical bitterness. Do other people share similar feelings of disquiet and despair, and how does a person escape a vortex of suffering? Perchance he can marshal human beings’ innate gifts of memory, language, and consciousness to transform his vile existence. Perhaps by studiously examining the self and seeking to unite all disparate parts of a fragmented psyche, he will become a thoughtful, considerate, and affectionate man who lives joyfully without pangs of pain, shame, and misgivings. The goal of this vision quest is to attain personal harmony with the world and enjoy an admirable state of attentive mindfulness after investigating and expressing all that is sayable pertaining the meaning of existence and the unique features of being human. The author aspires to discard frivolous attachments, pierce mental delusions, and attain a peaceful state of serenity by accepting reality and appreciating the incomparable beauty of this magnificent world and the little pleasures that each unfolding day affords. Perhaps writing of his struggles to transcend his own pain and develop the wisdom and serenity of the mind that comes from living an examined life might even provide a template for other people explore their own life story.”

“There was a time I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. I had walked through the fire of alcohol addiction. I had sat in the silence of depression. I had tasted the sharp loneliness that hides behind a smile. And yet — I did not give up. We endure pain — and that pain becomes our teacher. They say a Guru is not one who speaks from books, but one who has lived what they teach. Who has stumbled through the dark, and still chooses the path to light. Today, as a coach, I don’t offer perfection. I offer presence. I offer truth. I offer the strength that comes from having broken and rebuilt. If you’re walking through something heavy, I hope this reminds you: You are not broken. You are becoming. And your story isn’t over.”

“A good strategy of life is obvious: When the right path is found, it must be walked no matter how hard it is and the precious target this path destined to must be arrived at by defeating every difficulty encountered!”

“In the darkest time, I have always believed, the light will shine.”

“I have to trust that when I walk through any battle, it's for a greater purpose. And the other side is going to be so great that God chose to allow me to walk through it. God is good. Our stories are good. And if they ain't good yet, then we still can't give up, because our stories ain't over. And that is a win. Maybe you struggle with fearful thoughts. I'm here to tell you there can be victory. You don't have to live in fear. You don't have to let those fears control you. Find someone you can turn to for help. Root out those negative thoughts before they go deep. There can be joy on the other side of your fears. I know, because I've experienced it.”

“Dare to overcome life difficulties to fulfil your dreams.”

“Contrary to popular belief, government buildings and educational institutes are not the nerve centers of society - the true nerve centers of society are the streets - streets that bear witness to the struggles of life - streets that bear witness to the labor of liberty - streets that bear witness to the struggles of being treated as an equal member of the human family.”
