I’ve thought the biggest challenge I have in my life is finding a job. But then life turns it around, and then you realise it isn’t. I don’t know if the challenge will take 6 months, though. I hope it will be quicker. Since my dad died, I had to think things through. I thought my dad would still be around, but that wasn’t his faith. I’ve decided to live in my dad’s place, or it was my childhood home. I already own part of it. The challenge is how and when I will get my flat sold. The selling is not the problem; it’s the cleaning of the place. My place is more manageable to empty because I don’t have many things. Or so I thought. I might not have much furniture, but it’s all the other stuff. Maybe I should get two more pairs of hands to help me, but it’s embarrassing (the state the flat is in), and I don’t want people to touch my stuff. So now I have two flats, but I can’t afford both. The sooner I get my flat in order, the better. That’s the biggest challenge I must face. The other is the job thing because I need to get money somewhere. But I hope none will take six months because that’s too long.

You must take one step at a time, and things will eventually be solved. If you put up your hands and surrender, things won’t change. If you rush things, it will only become a mess, and then you get stressed. Life is full of different challenges, and you learn from them. It also makes a person stronger, and you learn how to handle the pressure of life.
