What can be more upsetting than knowing after all the excitement, effort and expectations, what you have anticipated for and prepared so well for will not come into existence. It’s like having an incredibly amazing dream while asleep when suddenly a thug wakes you up. The most annoying part is not that your dream was discontinued but the fact that you will never be able to get back to that dream – it’s gone. You may have another similar dream one day but it’ll never be the same. Besides, who knows when will that one day come?

That is why I would prefer to be awake doing something than enjoying a dream while in a deep slumber because if things do not work as expected, if things didn’t happen my way, being physically and logically awake, I can still do something about it. Normally, I would fret, stammer, be disappointed and feel betrayed but after looking at the bigger picture and bright side of the story, I will be okay again, ready to rebuild, to move on and even aim higher; in full gear, up and set to sail through again.
And then in the end I will realize that even if a super storm which threatens nature passes by, or the winter season which makes the trees withered brings piles of snow, or a promise made but end up unfulfilled, I can still find the beautiful, the good and truth in it. This is not just a matter of psychological or emotional conditioning but of having a strong conviction and firm belief that the Lord Creator, who although allows failures and evil to exist, is in full control and can and is able to bring out goodness and victory in human affairs.
