Life is a challenge

Life is like a game. Lots of challenges, surprises and ups and downs. Life is a bed of roses -- true if u are a gardener, u will know that roses have pricks and thorns that will prick u. Many a times I was pricked while tending to the roses. Not just that, I must trim and cut and water and fertilise the rose plants before I get to see the beautiful blooms. The joy of seeing the beautiful flowers at the end of the day is rewarding and yet it has my blood and sweats.

Nobody can tell u what will be at the corner. A surprise, a hole whereby u will fall into? A friend whom u have not seen a long time. Many a times, we have to take whatever life throws at us with courage. Good things like a baby, a promotion, a new job offer, a new marriage comes with responsiblilities and unknown. Grab it with both hands and nurture with love and care. Only by doing so wholeheartedly can u forget worrying about the what ifs. Everyone of us has only 24 hrs and how to make full use of the precious time is most important. If spending time crying over spilled milk makes u happy, continue to wallow in yr sorrows. However, many a times crying won't help. Try getting a new cup of milk if possible, if not go get something else. Everyone of us must make a conscious effort to choose to live life the happy one. Two sides of a coin -- either this or that. Nobody can help us except ourselves.

Everyday choose to tell ourselves to do things that we can do well, not things that we have no control over. Worrying on the unknown and never spend energy on what we have is a waste of energy. when we have something on our mind, we alwasy cannot smile. Why not smile and then we won't think of the something???

Love is the answer to many things - show love to others and u will have less time to think of yr own miseries unless u are a super duper multitasker who can cry and smile at the same time :>
