Life as we know it is a test. We truly enjoy the benefits only after enduring its suffering. Imagine if you will toiling over a field of food, not because nothing outside existed, but to literally taste the effort spent. We all know any average job is mundane, and any exceptions will become so with enough repetition. So why bother? Well... to stay with my example, you can't appreciate having even a lousy job until you see the alternative: nothing. "It's better having experienced something bad, than not experiencing at all" -unknown- " because the only time your not experiencing anything, is if you were dead!"
When rising in life never forget that everything is by your side, and thank god for every opportunity. When falling down uncomfortably always remember that everything is still by your side, and just as fast as you fell you can get up again. For every bad memory there's at least two good things that come from it. One, the experience gained which lead you out of it. Two, the opportunity brought forth from it.
Life isn't always a good story, at times it will seem bad. However you must believe in the power of balance in nature. How everything has a yin and a yang. Equal parts evil and good. Life too. It is the experience of the rises and the falls. Even the times where there's seamlessly nothing at all. Of course that can't be true... Unless your dead.
Think of life as just a story. Now think, for as long as you can, in your hand you hold the pen. What would you write for yourself? Keep writing until you have a full list of everything you can imagine. Anything from what you have, to want you want. Anything that crosses your mind. Now leave it on the side, maybe let someone review it, and next time you look at it categorize every item in your list into one of three things:
1. This item is to survive. ex. food,water, sleep.
2. This item is to get by. ex. shelter, clothing, transportation, etc.
3. This item is to make me happy. ex. smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc.
Just remember that every day is a new blank page, with new possibilities; and the world won't wait, time won't stop. So take your chance when it comes. With every opportunity, taken or left aside, life changes to something better. Even, in regret, you see a glimmer of hope. When you look at the whole, life is no longer just a story, it's a picture, moving in time; only when you look at now, this moment, it is complete. No fears for the future, no memories weighing you down. Now is the only moment you can look around, judge, and then proceed. To what ever comes next in life's tests. Once you remember your in control, you write what comes next and what goes, everything that comes is your want your call.
