There are times when you cannot control things around you and feel helpless. Everything seems messed up and at odds with everything else. At such moments the urge to give up is very strong, but these are just the times that test our mettle the best. These moments can make or break your career, your character, your outlook, your attitude, your perspective, even your life. These are the times when a small step in the right direction can give you the breakthrough you have been working for, these are your moments to shine.
Moments come and go, and so do opportunities. It is really up to you how things turn out, not always as per your views and desires, but that is ok. Sometimes the right way is different from your way.
Even if you least feel like it, shine through despite yourself. Choose rewards, not regrets.
