Someone Who Lifts Me Up in Hard Times

08/14/2025

Everyone goes through difficult seasons in life. Some have already passed theirs, some are right in the middle of it, and others will eventually face it.
Lately, one saying has been echoing in my heart:
“God gives each person only as much weight as they can carry.”
That thought helps me steady my heart.

When I first started my real estate career, I was desperate. It wasn’t an easy or leisurely beginning. I stepped into this field as a breadwinner, to support my family.

At first, everything felt unfamiliar, difficult—and honestly, overwhelming. But thankfully, along the way, I met many good people. I learned so much from them, and some gave me tremendous help. Without those people, I might not be where I am today.

As time went by, things became much more stable financially, but like anyone else, I still have moments when I feel tired or shaken. In those moments, I try to recall my beginnings and remind myself of the tough times I’ve already endured.

And when even that doesn’t work, I make a call—to one person who has always been a source of strength for me. He was my mentor when I first entered this business.
He has a wise way of seeing the bigger picture and offering guidance. I’m not particularly good at expressing my feelings, but somehow, he always understands what’s on my heart—sometimes even before I finish speaking. And then, he gives me exactly the words I need to hear.

Today, I called him again. And as always, he pointed me in the right direction.
At that moment, I felt deeply grateful and thought, “I’m not alone after all.”

In life, success isn’t built by skill alone—it grows stronger through the relationships we build along the way.
And so, once again, I’ve made a promise to myself:
One day, I will be that kind of person for someone else.
