Ever encounter such trials that it really puts you off the the edge. Having one toe on the ground and slightly will get off from the cliff. Like your life hanging to such a thread? More of a strand of a hair? If you fell, what do you do?
You fell hard. What would you do? Get up!!! Get up on the feet and work for it again. Thinking back, it reminds me of a story. A story about Dan Jansen1. My mentor sent me a sms of Dan Jansen, asking me to get back up every time I fell.
And when you fall…
What do you do?
You feel like giving up, right?
But if you believe in yourself… you don't give up.
Instead, you… Get… Back… Up…
All of us face adversity and failure in our attempts to achieve worthwhile goals. Fortunately, there's a little bit of Dan Jansen in each of us.
Hence, I remember that this guy, Dan Jansen never give up despite that he encountered such trials in his life. The moment he fell while competing in Winter Olympics, just because he heard the news that his sister died of leukemia. Anyone could might just lost hope. Lost direction and suddenly, everything that been done seems pointless.
But he get back up. In 1994, he won a gold medal. Not only that, he set a new world record as well. 
So, I asked God. Why? Why such a trial on me? He knew that He has a plan for me. He is shaping me, through the trials He had given me. Everything happened for a reason. My friend used to tell me that in everything gives thanks. I must thank God for the trials I am going through now. Not to forget every single person who are involved in the trials be it directly or indirectly.
Like when I look back at the times of me sleeping and locking myself up, it was simply good to think about it. I knew I can do more and do better than that. I believe that myself when I really committed to it, I can get it through. Dedication. I learned more and more about myself. Discovering myself again, through the trials. In fact, for the whole month of April. It is a journey of rediscovering Dale. Now, Dale or No Dale is no longer a matter to me.
I am who I am
