All i asked.. was to be strong, and HE gave me obstacles.
All i asked.. was to be wise, and HE gave me challenges.
All i asked.. was to be patient, and HE denied me my rightful opportunity.
All i asked.. was to be understanding, and HE gave me complexities.
All i asked.. was to be at peace with myself, and HE gave me insecurities.
All i asked.. was to be fair, and HE threw me in the middle of conflicts.
All i asked..
I almost gave up.. but just in the nick of time.. i realised that HE had given me all i had asked. just not in the manner that i was expecting.
Through overcoming obstacles(emotional, physical and mental), i became stronger. Plying through the challenges, i had become wiser than i was the day before. By waiting for my seemingly missed opportunities, i had learnt to be patient for my day to come. Tackling one complexed issue at a time, i gained understanding. By overcoming my insecurities one by one, i learnt more about myself thus becoming at peace with myself. Trust me, to subdue situations that involve conflict of interests.. you have to be fair minded.
Through all of these problems i realised one thing.
Life is made of obstacles, challenges, opportunities, complexities, insecurities, and conflicts. It is up to us how we are gonna handle it i guess. see the cup as half full or empty? Learnt so many lessons through my prayers...
Know what to ask and how to ask....
Ask not to be strong... instead, Ask for a donkey to carry your burden.
Ask not to be rich... instead.. Ask for others to be poorer than you.
Ask not to be wise... instead.. Ask for other to be dummer than you.
Ask not to be understanding.. instead.. Ask for the answers straight away..
get my drift? haha.. good nite all.

Reading your post, a few lines from the Quran come to mind.
"Let the wealthy man spend according to his means; and let the man whose provisions are restricted spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah does not burden a soul beyond what He has given it, and Allah will grant ease after a hardship. "(Al-Talaq65:7)
“No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.” (Surah al-Isra, V. 15)
“God does not seek to place a burden on you, but that He purify you and perfect His grace upon you, that you may give thanks.” (Surah al-maa'idah, V.6)
Everything happens for a reason what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger.
