When the world is testing you, things will feel heavy. Your passion may fade. Your hobbies become lame. Time moves quickly.

You look up and see everyone and everything around you passing, soaring, succeeding while you appear to stand still.

Remember that this is only perception. This is how your brain is choosing to interpret reality. It does not make it a reality.

When the world is testing you, and it will, you must remain calm. Stay patient. Listen and experience the things around you, truly.

Tests and trials will show you something if you listen. They could provide you with valuable insight if you allow it.

When the world is testing you, study. Study the past. Study your interests. Study those before you.

Be a student and learn from the test.

When the world is testing you, remember that it is only a test. This test is not passed or failed. The information is learned or not.

Tests don’t last always. You will either learn or you will not. You will either grow or remain stagnant. But you will make it beyond the test.
