Life is not a continuous journey of happiness. Nor is it
a path full of only sorrows. It is a combination of both. The positives and
negatives of life balance out in the end and we should realise that the good
and the bad are just two sides of the same coin and we need to value both and
accept both as a necessary part of life. The positives give us joy and
happiness and encouragement and other good things while the negatives tech us
lessons we cannot learn from the good. Joy without sorrow, success without
defeat and health without illness does not give us full appreciation of the
good. We need to encounter the bad in order to savor the good.
These opposing forces of good and bad help us learn life
lessons which help us in our journey through life. If we handle our troubles
correctly we can change them something positive and good. If our plans fail, we
can sit and work out new plans that do better. So all the problems and
difficulties we face, prepare us to become better and nicer. It is only through
sorrow that we can learn about happiness and it is pain and turmoil that leads
us to peace ad calm.
Both
phases are temporary
When we are down and out, we ask “why me?” But when we
are happy and successful we take it for granted. We don’t wonder why we have
been blessed. But we need to understand that every happiness is balanced by
sorrow and every sorrow will lead to happiness. Both phases are temporary –
they will both pass. If we allow sadness to defeat us, it will. But if we use
the sorrow and pain to look for ways to better our situation, we can resolve
problems and go ahead. Troubles give us the energy to start afresh. So make use
of this energy, nurture it, get strength and hope from it and use it to take
you to a happier and better phase in your life.
When one door closes, another opens in its place – this
is a maxim of life. So through every troubled period in your life, overcome the
obstacles, fight the wrongs, get past the suffering and reach joy, happiness
and peace.
