Life is a beautiful thing. It is nothing but a long journey. They say that life is a spiritual experience and not a worldly affair. I believe so too. If you can adopt such a doctrine, perhaps you can be stronger when the going gets tough.
Never expect life to be a bed of roses. That would be too painful a lesson when realization sets in. I don’t suppose you would want a picture perfect world although that is a wish at the tip of every Miss Universe’s tongue. I am afraid that may be a tad too naïve an outlook for the seculars. Despite, I always believe in striving for a utopian world. When you aim for the stars, it wouldn’t be too bad if you reached the treetops.
It is good to have a balance in life. Sometimes, you may find that there is always a yin and a yang to life. Just as well as in a coin, everyone has a flipside. It is possible to learn how to deal with the difficulties in pain. Deal with it and it will accept you by easing up on you.
As in a journey, we try not to have to carry too many baggages. So why need we carry so much during an important journey such as life? I am sharing this because it took me a long while to learn this truth and nobody really told me. It finally came from the books that chanced on my path.
I learnt to like myself by being selfless and selfish at the same time. Do that for yourself too. Realize that the world is very big and very small. When you travel to an unpleasant place in your life, the world offers you plenty of choice destination that your spiritually can venture to. When you are challenged to be a bad person, the world is so small that your sins can catch up with you.
Life is so full of coincidences yet, at the same time, everything happens with a reason. It takes wisdom for us to let life pass us without having to question our fate so much. When a card has been dealt to you, play it like a professional.
They say, “Life is like a poker game. It is not a matter of having a good hand but playing a bad hand well.” Out of utter superstition, I have decided not to gamble at casinos because I want all the luck in gambling for life. Life has a higher priority and in it, we should all learn to win it in our own ways.
