Good day my wonderful steemit family. I want to appreciate you all for your support and hard work. I am @jovita30 I would be participating in this contest.

Introduction

Life is full of lessons and most times people live to tell . I for one, don't really believe that experience is the best teacher because most people don't live to tell the story, rather i would rather pick to learn with life.
Life teachings can be yours or that of your neighbors. They can be stories you experience or you where told.
Life is a great teacher the more we live the more we learn.

What I understand by the statement, There's light at the end of a dark tunnel?

This saying is an idiomatic expression, which talks about the end of a difficult situation. This saying started in the 80s and became popular in the 90s. A lot of time we face situation that looks like there is no hope and all of a sudden, we see a beep of hope and we say at last, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Most times this situation is a life changer that really requires us to be patient.

This is a saying of hope, a saying that requires up to stay positive hoping for a better day.

In what situations have you experienced or seen the fulfilment of this statement? You can share experiences of others or yourself.

Challenges are part of life and this challenges are catalyze that fuels growth. There is
No life without ups and downs.

One of the situations in my life that really brought to life this above idiomatic expression is my experience during the birth of my first daughter.
On the 15th of February by 12 am, I went into labour. It was too late to get a taxi. There was no means of mobility. We waited at home until it was 6 am in the morning before we got a ride to the hospital.
Getting to the hospital I was admitted and the labour kept progressing (so I thought) I was judging the progression of labor by the amount of pain I was going through.
Different nurses came and checked on me and told I was not progressing fast(slow dilation) after 24 hours, I was just 5m dilated.
The pain was more than anything anybody can imagine. I cried and cried but nothing was working.
After a while I consoled by self with the say, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I kept assuring by self that everything would be fine and I would smile and celebrate at the end.
I knew the pain was not going to last for ever.

After 2 days of unimaginable pain by baby girl was born. She brought so much joy and took always all the pain. Indeed the light was greater than all the pain I felt.

What problems are you currently facing that seems dark like that of a tunnel.

Well currently am not in a dark tunnel, my previous experiences has thought me beyond fear and doubt. I presently I have a lot of bill to settle but I would not call it a dark tunnel because it's not life treating. I know and I trust God that all the bill would be settled at the right time. I would play my role and trust that my labour would pay out.

Do You Actually Believe There Could Be Light At The End Of a Dark Tunnel in Your Life? State reasons.

Yes I believe there is indeed great light at the end of the tunnel for the following reasons.

  • I don't believe that situation would over whelm me.
  • I need is just keep hope alive and never give up as long as I still have life within me.
  • I believe everyday is not Christmas, so I prepared for the raining days.
  • I don't bother about situations that can not be changed from the human stand points.
  • Every problem has an expiring date.
