Perspective I.

Life is never easy. Life is complicated. Life is full of obstacles. Life can also be fun and enjoyable. It all depends on one thing. Perspective.

The journey of life isnt all a bed of roses. There are bound to be some thorns and stuff that will hurt you. It depends on whether you choose to cry and give up, or patch up your wounds and keep going forward. I mean, a smart person wouldnt pray for an easy life. He/she would pray for the strength to overcome a difficult life.

What is interesting about an easy life? It will be too boring. Thats why, sometimes life throws obstacles or problems at us, to make life difficult for us. Some people will lament on why life is difficult. Sometimes even i do that. But as i've said, it is all about perspective. If life is difficult, doesnt that mean that we can get stronger? After we overcome each obstacle, we get stronger and tougher. Ultimately, it is good for us.

So right now, if your life is tough and difficult and tiring and all, dont give up. Just remember, all these are going to shape your resolve, your heart and your soul. They are going to determine what kind of person you are going to be. So just go with the flow. If you fall, pick yourself up and carry on. If you are hurt, lick your wounds and endure the pain. If you come to a dead end, break down that dead end and create new paths for yourself.

Afterall, life is a test. The ultimate test.
