There are things in life that makes you want to give up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not currently depressed. 😅 I was out with my mom the other day and chanced upon a dance store. For some reason, I always try to look for a white tutu even when I don't plan to buy one. You see, when I was in Prep-1, I joined a dance program in school. The teacher told us to bring white tutus and white ballet shoes. My parents and I scoured many SM Department Stores but all we could find were pink tutus and shoes. Remember that this was in the 90's so there were limited malls in Metro Manila. The usual next step is to go back to school and tell my teacher that it was impossible to find one, right? Well, that's what all of my classmates did. My parents? Impossible was (and still is) not in their vocabulary. My mom designed and sewed an all-white ballet ensemble just for me! I was the only one who came to class with what the teacher asked us to bring. Everyone else brought pink. And even though my teacher eventually succumbed to the other parents and changed our color scheme to pink, I will never forget how my parents handled this situation.
Nothing is impossible.
If there's a will, there's a way.
They may sound corny but they really hold value. I've been married for 1.5 years now and there are days when you just get so frustrated that you want to give up. This lesson, which my parents has unintentionally taught me, has stayed with me all these years. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it, so don't give up so easily.
