Life is first and foremost something all of us should be thankful for. If you're reading this, you have many things to be thankful for b/c there are others that wish for the simple things we take for granted. You woke up, groomed yourself, and probably dashed out the door so you could make it to work/school on time. We wake up and carry on with our morning routines without giving a second thought to the what if's or how life will affect us throughout the day.
Secondly, Life is generally good. Yeah I know, it ain't always that great but think about the things that make life worth living. Life teaches us lessons in a vast catalog of subjects. Let's not concentrate on positive or negative outcomes; instead, think about how those lessons helped to shape and mold you into the person you are today. Sometimes life deals us a shitty hand but we must remember that there's a reason and a season for everything. Looking back, can you honestly say you're stronger despite the trials that have come your way? Of course you can, you're still standing.
It's easier to deal with the happier aspect of life such as the thrills of love, advancing careers, raising families, and living in the moment. But what about when we have to accept the harder things like death, unemployment, falling out of love, and etc. How you respond to life's tragic moments defines that other side of you. Those things are apart of you and how you view the world. Some things take a long time to bounce back from and others you never truly heal from.
Now, all these things I think are true from a human standpoint, but spiritually its a different story. Spiritually we must understand that this life is just a pit-stop to something better. Also while we're living we must remember that "it ain't all about you/us". Ultimately, its about loving one another in the way that God loves us. Life lessons shape not only our human character but our spiritual character as well. As we go through life the content of our prayers change. And just like our bodies grow, so does our faith.
Life is about experiences and choices, both good and bad. As I get older, the experiences I've had shaped the way I think, feel, and react. I realize that sometimes I don't make the best decisions and at times life is much harder than I expected. Those decision hurt so badly but because my relationship with God is evolving, there's no shame in admitting that I was wrong and seeking his direction instead of depending upon my own. That right there is the answer to all the things that life throws at us...Seeking God's council in everything. I'm not preaching to anyone here, I just felt the need to write from the heart.
A few things to remember:
Life can be really sucky or really wonderful, it just depends of how you choose to look at the situations. Life changes constantly, just pray and go with the flow. The quality of your life depends on who/what you're connected to...let your relationship with God (or whoever you believe in) evolve and allow your faith to grow. Depend on HIS direction, not your own. Love hard and live in the moment. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, just open your eyes and learn from them. Don't let trials break you down til you have nothing left, stand up and keep fighting. Life makes no sense at times, remember in the end it will all come together and your destiny will be fulfilled.
Peace & Blessings
