Of course, we should always want the very best from life. We should seek experiences that make us feel good about ourselves and about life in general. Experiences that make us feel loved, worthy and comfortable in who we are.
But life has its own way of unfolding.
There will be happiness, fulfilment and excitement, just as there will be sadness, struggle, anger, loneliness and disappointment.
Should we revolt against the uncertainties of life? I don’t think so. Some experiences strengthen us and some make us wiser. God forbid that we become so comfortable that we stop growing.
So, it’s all good.
Every experience has its place. It is all part of being alive. There will be painful moments and there will be blissful ones. Somewhere between the two, we learn to find our balance.
Unpleasant times, like the seasons, come and go. We cannot allow a season of sorrow to turn into a lifetime of mourning.
Pleasure is fleeting too. We cannot always carry yesterday’s joy into today, so it is important that we continue to create moments of pleasure in our everyday lives. Hold on to the laughter within you and around you.
Is life uncertain?
Yes, of course.
Yet we can still expect the best from ourselves and from life. We can still attempt things we once thought impossible and make the most of whatever is in front of us.
We are not powerless, nor are we chained to our circumstances.
Life will bring all sorts of things our way — the good and the not so good.
It’s all part of being alive.
It’s all good.
