There are moments in life when everything feels heavy — when failure, rejection, or heartbreak makes us feel like we’re not strong enough to carry on. But feeling low or hurt doesn’t mean we’re weak. Just like trees bend in strong winds but don’t break, we too are built to face hard times. We were never meant to give up completely or stay broken forever. We may fall, we may feel lost, but it’s only part of the journey, not the end of it.

Imagine a student who failed an important exam. At first, it feels like the end of the world. People talk, self-doubt creeps in, and everything seems dark. But over time, that student decides not to stay down. They reflect, study harder, seek help, and prepare again. The next time, they pass with flying colors. That failure didn’t break them — it helped them grow, understand themselves better, and come back stronger.

Life doesn’t always go the way we want. But we are made to stretch with the challenges, learn from them, and rise above. It’s okay to feel weak sometimes, but it’s not okay to forget our strength. We bend, we grow, and then — we rise.
