See your troubles as blessings.
Our troubles are actually blessings in disguise. Each of you would agree with me that we learn the most from the difficult experiences. Have you ever wondered, why we, as humans spend so much of our lives focusig on the negative aspects of our problems rather than seeing them for what they are - Our greatest teachers.
Would we have the courage, wisdom and knowledge we possess had we not experienced the setbacks we've faced, the mistakes we made and the suffering we endured? We need to realize that pain is a teacher abd failure is the highway to success. You can never play the guitar without hitting a few wrong notes and you can never ride a bicycle if you are not willing to fall off it a few times. To qoute Patrick Overton, “When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, Faith -- is knowing that one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on –- or -- You will be taught to fly”.
I too, like most people have encountered my own share of pain while traversing this path of life. It;s during these testing times that I realized that character is shaped, not through life's easiest experiences, but during the toughest ones. It is only during life's most trying times that we discover who we truly are and the undying strength we have within us to over any obstacle. I quote Rainer Maria Rilke, whose words have helped me when life throws one of it's curves on me:
....have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in foreign langauge. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present, you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even notcing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
So there you have it. I do hope that in some way possible these words help you to see your troubles as blessings. May you be granted all the strength it takes to face your trials in life and come out with greater wisdom. :-)
Have a nice week ahead.

I agree, tough times make us learn lot in life. People who come out of those unfavorable moments become winners of the game but the game never stops :-) You gotta keep playing. There is always a door open wanting you to reach there, when your mind is thinking that all doors have closed upon you.
ReplyDeleteIt's all for the Best. :-)
Have a Wonderful Day! Cumpleaños Felices! Enjoy each and every moment to come.
Takecare,

ReplyDeletePeople say that bad things happen to good people, too. The rest of the world does not stop 'cause of that. Life goes on despite wars, deaths, sickness, tragedy, other serious issues. But then we can always draw strength and hope from our blessings, from within and without.

ReplyDeleteThose odds and ends are just the spice that livens up your life. Every different thing in that odd mix makes its own contribution to the whole effort --- life!
It's the right attitude towards life helps us appreciate hidden beauty and truths, makes us see where true value lies, and delight in the way it all blends up.
