YOU CAN'T ALWAYS RELY ON OTHERS

Stand up for what is right, even if you are alone. William Penn stated, "Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it." Even if your friends were to always have your back and be there to support you,you have to keep in mind that they have lives of their own. Learning to stand on your own two feet all the time will make it easier to stand alone when things get ugly and there is no one there to help you; This is not to say that we shouldn't ever ask for help, we should ask as often as possible. However, we must be ready to take on any burden ourselves if that is the only possible solution. The real world might feel like a big competition, but there's only one person you need to defeat and that person is"YOURSELF". Do not rely on others. If they can't help, you must become your hero. Does an athlete stop his race if there are no cheers from the spectators? Like an athlete, we must run to the finish line and fulfill our purpose with or without cheers, support, and encouragement from friends.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST IN THE POWER OF GOD

God is able to help those who seek him easier than those who don't. He is waiting to help with hands outstretched, we just have to be willing to come to him and use His help. When we put our trust in God and rely on him, the challenges we face wouldn't break us but rather they will strenghten our faith and build us up. We all have trials and difficulties which in a way help us grow and and achieve our full potential. We can find the necessary strenght to overcome anything by relying on God.
