In the story The Cat, even the little creature was a hallucination or a mind trick, what mattered to the man was “the key to survival.” Like the man’s journey in the desert, our lives could be like that, full of hardship and hopelessness. Sometimes we need food or drink (not physically), speaking of them mentally, emotionally or perhaps spiritually, to survive. Some we think we’ve got nowhere like the man walking so long but there being “a million miles of nothing ahead. Under that circumstance we feel like we’re going to give up, But something can dawn on us that we can prevail no matter what. Do you have anyone where you can run to, who becomes your “driving force” and how that person has helped you in your life journey?

The person who makes me go ahead are my parents and the God. I know they have a great expectation on me and they want me do better and better. Everytime, when I want to give up, there’s always a sound said to me,”don’t be afraid, I’m with you. I’ve prepared you a good way.” And my mom also tells me that she has a wonderful plan for me. Just do your best, do not give up. Yes! So, what should I afraid? I need to go forward, there’s a cross in front of us. Just submit our hands to God, he’ll take us to the wonderful place.

A friend of mine in my choir is my “driving force.”
He is a mature person that always gives me some good thinking. He gives me not only advice but also the faith. This surprises me, because I think the decisions to my difficulty is grasped in my hand. No one can decide for me. However, his words are so powerful that make me feel I really find the way to go on, without any doubt. -
Everytime when I want to give up, I always stand up again by myself. Actually, there is no one want to listen to my sadness and give me any comfort. Maybe Buddhism is just that what I can rely on and also help me to believe everything will be ok when I am disappointed.

When I encountered difficulties or felt distressed, I used to turn to my high school teacher, Alison, for help and comfort. No matter how busy she was, she always set aside her time and chatted with me. After that, she would send me cards or a slip of paper to encourage me. Whenever I feel discouraged, I would take out those cards, reading the words she had written to me again and again. Somehow I feel that I gain much confidence and strength after reading those cards.

Although my family and friends always accompany with me when I have troubles and frustrations, the voice in my heart is the most important. “Her” in my heart is always stronger and more powerful than me. Whatever I meet how difficult problems, she always tells me “ Don’t give up and keep on.” I think she is very stubborn. If there is any thing different with her opinions, she will balm to me. Sometime, I will feel tired and angry because of her stubborn. However, she is the best “driving force” for me. If she were not in my heart to give me encourage to tell me “keep on and keep on and keep onnnnnnnnnnnn….”, maybe I were a potato couch which could have lain on the sofa to watch TV daily and regularly. Thank God for giving her company to me and everything caused by her insistence.

When I was back in America, my driving force and main support were all my friends. Though when I came to Taiwan there wasn’t really anyone there for me. No one to lean on, and no one to seek for support. Therefore, the only support I was able to turn to was God. Yes, I turned to my faith in my religion for moral support.

I think everyone has their own spiritual power, it can be called willpower. but everyone has a different goal and different backgrounds, interests and so will be a significant influence. and I felt my own willpower is not enough Often do well at the beginning of the incident, but the last to even give up easily. I think can bring it to get rid of bad habits.
