Living a cherished life in a village, there was a girl named Nora. Nora lived with her mother and grandparents; her father, Mr. Smith used to live in another country to feed his family. Whenever he came to his homeland, he brought a lot of gifts for her daughter.

Nora also loves his father a lot. He was his whole world, not because he brought a lot of gifts, but his personality was also attractive.

Time flew by, and one day her father received a call from his brother, Mr. Arun, who was coming to his homeland permanently. He convinced Nora's father to leave his job Abroad and initiate a business in his country.

Like a groovy, Mr. Smith left his easy and high-paying job and returned to his home permanently. Mr. Arun and he started a business to deliver snacks to other small shops in the village by a van. They spent a lot of time and money on it, but they couldn’t get a lot of money in consideration of that arduous work rather they just managed to fulfil the petrol to visit other areas.

Business ruined! Now, both sat thinking worriedly about what to do next.

It's obvious that whenever we lose something, we regret it. We get hyper and lose our sense to make things better. At that moment, God examines us to determine whether we have beautiful patience or not.

Mr. Arun joined a company to feed his family, but Mr. Smith couldn't start another business on the score of a lack of money.

He got depressed. His behaviour changed duly. He started coming to blow and bickering. He couldn't endure even the minor mistakes of his wife resulting in the daily quarrels between them.

Nora had to see all those scenes helplessly and hopelessly. She couldn't manipulate all that fuss. As a consequence, she faced emotional abuse; she couldn't focus on her studies. She also got distressed and had a headache throughout.

Gradually, she started hating her parents and ignoring them. Her mother despite taking pity on her and realizing her mental condition, started scolding and beating her for her behaviour. All those things made her too far from her parents.

But that's not the end of Nora's life. There's still the power of resilience in her to emerge from within.

She endeavoured to isolate herself to get peace. Through the blessings of God, she found some inspirational and motivational characters in her life who helped her to:

"Think beyond the world, stay staunch, and believe in yourself."

She struggled hard to get success, yet she couldn't rebuild her true love for her parents again. Although she realized all the grim conditions of her family, she just tried to make her parents realize that she still gave them respect as they were trying to feed her.

But she felt alone. She didn’t want to hug his father as she used to do whenever his father came. She didn’t want to share her problems with her parents.

The reason is that she became strong enough to solve her problems. She didn't allow her conscience to split. All those heartrending sufferings helped her to dream big.

"My miseries aided me to dream." -Narcissus

She's thankful for having agony that made her powerful mentally, physically, and spiritually.

My pain made me brave.
