A man was caught and thrown into a pit about 13 meters deep, just because he was a stranger. He struggled to get out of the pit, but the harder he tried, the weaker his muscles became. He said to himself: “I don't know how to get out of this; maybe I should just die instead of enduring these miserable struggles and hardships. "
Just then, he heard a voice yelling, "Help me!" The screams came from another pit that was 10 feet deeper than his own. He thought to himself, "So there's someone else like me trapped here too."
Listening carefully, he heard some cracking and sand falling from the wall of the other victim's pit. Immediately he made up his mind and with the last strength he had left, he began to crawl little by little until he came out of the pit.
Moral of the story:
That pain that we think we are going through… there are people in worse condition than ours. Let's always say something sweet to ourselves and smile at our suffering. Let them be; they are there for a time and also to challenge us. Today may be the darkest hour but our joy will come in the morning.
Let's try to cheer ourselves up… let's look at ourselves in the mirror, hit our chest and say to ourselves: "I can do it and stand the test of time."
Let's always try to face our worst fear because nothing comes easy. We need to feel uncomfortable to get into our comfort zone. Let's think big!

Although we will not always have in ourselves all the capacity to achieve what we set out to do, the truth is that if we do not try, surely we will not do it.
Life is much more than the achievement of our goals; it is actually about our journey trying to reach them. While we will not always achieve all that we set out to do, we will enjoy and learn — and ultimately, we will live — trying.
Who does not dare and risks, not only will never achieve anything, but simply will not live ... but merely vegetate.
So let's think big, allowing the Lord to help us align with His plans for our lives and moving forward.
God bless you.

and how it came out if in total it was already 16 meters.
your reflection is very good. For a few months I have been looking for a job, in Cracas-Venezuela and I search and search and nothing you see I wonder what have I done wrong? What should i learn from all this? What else should I do? There are times when I feel calm, but there are times when I feel very frustrated, I will not be in extreme poverty but it affects me in the same way, because financially I do not feel fulfilled; I don't know what to do, I don't know what direction to take, I feel like I'm shooting arrows, without any direction and I have told GOD to help my disbelief, guide me because I don't know where to go, put me the right person to go to Another level of financial prosperity, the only thing I want is to know that I must learn from all this. Thank you for listening to me and may GOD BLESS YOU GREATLY.
Blessings! May nice motivation. Well I'll tell you this, I hope it helps you. I've been where you are and without being long my story I'll tell you this. God one day through circumstances told me this. It was just like you told God the Lord I don't have this, that that and so on! Frustrated yes! And God spoke to me like this, look at the curve, look and there was sitting a poor man drinking water that ran from the sewer, you talk and complain, God told me, but he has nothing. Then I learned the lesson, it is useless to complain and I began to thank better for what God has given me! It's not much but you know it's better than the man in the gutter. Today I can tell you I do not have everything but God helps me every day every day I am improving! It is a process takes time! But just as God helps me, he will help you. Just thank God every day for his blessings and you will see that every day you will see the hand of God. I hope this helps you!
GOD IS THE MAXIMUM, EVERY DAY I THANK HIM ONE MORE DAY OF LIFE
