Royal Level
At this stage, you will no longer engage in futile arguments or pointless debates. And even if you do, you will not try to prove to the other person that they are wrong. You will realize that you cannot fix the universe. You will throw all your problems, worries, and the things that bother you behind your back and continue with your life. It is okay to think about troubling things from time to time, but what truly matters is that you return to the royal stage once again. You will come to know deeply that today’s joy and sorrow will not last, and your faith in destiny and divine decree will grow stronger. You will be certain that goodness and what is best lie in what God has chosen for you. You will also realize that material things, despite their importance, alone will never bring you complete happiness.
Life, with all its turbulence, will always require us to fight our inner battles—first with ourselves, then with the society around us—whether through decisions we must make, painful disappointments we endure, toxic relationships that drain our energy, or stages of failure and stumbling. We will always face a mixture of sadness and joy, contentment and resentment. How we deal with all of this is what determines our place in life, and our reactions to it shape our destiny. Either we choose surrender and abandon our hopes, or we fight with whatever tools we possess. We live through sadness with all its seasons without denying it, but then we rise again—like a horse fully healed from illness, leaping gracefully over obstacles with youthful vigor, no matter how many scars of failure mark its thigh. It chooses peace and does not dwell too long on the past.
Life is an arena in which people fight their own private wars to reach their visions and dreams, sometimes paying an entire lifetime for them. The beauty of the journey lies in savoring its hardships and not merely waiting for the moment of arrival—which may or may not come. Even if we later discover that the moment did not meet our expectations, we will still carry the memories of a radiant path that created lasting moments somewhere in our memory.
Your royal stage is one of many stages you will always try to return to. You may be forced to drift away from it for a while, but you will struggle as much as you can to return with a joyful, peaceful heart—so you may elevate the quality of your life and move forward toward light and serenity, rather than remain trapped in darkness that others may try to pull you into.
Our days move forward and never stop. Events accelerate around us, and death races before our eyes. The wise are those who fill their records with good deeds, righteous actions, and a good legacy—because people are God’s witnesses on His earth.
