Insomniac's Mind: Life

Life

Here's a nice message sent by a friend this morning, it made me optimistic the whole day :

Life's pretty simple.
When you're asking for apples and life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

If you are on your way out and it starts to rain,
at least you won't have to water the plants anymore.

It's a matter of seeing things in new perspective. The benefits may not be immediate nor obvious, but you have to know this for sure,
God will never give you anything you can't handle.
Nothing you can't triumph over.

There will be problems, there will be struggles, but if they're not there how'd you know how strong you are?

Yey! First one to comment. Thanks for sharing. Yep, it's all about perspective. Accepting things as they are with the whole optimism that tough people persevere and bad moments last.

I knew it was you, he he. Hail insomniacs! Yes Jef, even in the worst of times I always think that good things will come out from it. I don't want to have wrinkles as early as now so I always give out a smile, I can't recall the last time I frowned :)

The wisdom is simple but pure. Contentment .. so elusive indeed.

As my brother would always say whenever I felt overwhelmed by life's challenges, "Things happen for a reason."

Thanks for posting and sharing it with all of us, Jairam.

"When you're asking for apples and life hands you lemons, make lemonade." - How can you make lemonade without sugar? Just asking...
