Some days, you wake up feeling at the top of your game, and it would appear that everything is simply working in your favor leaving you oozing out self confidence and determination.
And then of course, there are THOSE days...
Every now and then life tends to serve you an ice cold dish of Lessons!
As much as I would like to claim that the sole purpose for using the word lessons is to serve as a bold statement of absolute optimism, but that just wouldn't be entirely true. You see, In my opinion, it really just doesn't make sense to call it anything else.
Even though it might feel that way, you really cant refer to it as problems when they are lessons of resolution:
It instills a need to resolve the matter at hand, pushing our mental framework to the limits, broadening our perceptive view and cumulates some experience points in the process.
The word obstacles is also not quite fitting:
Especially because the lesson here clearly points to unearth our inner resourcefulness as well as our ability to plan and plot our way to better days.
I did consider using the word issues:
And then I looked up the meaning of the word
You see where I am going with this right?
The next time you find yourself facing down a less than ideal situation, keep this in mind:
a Hug from a friend and/or some form of moral support is not the worst thing you can do. Remember everyone reaches a similar point in their lives at some stage, who knows, maybe you will be able to return the favor at some stage.
This too shall pass ~ and when it does, you will be walking out of there as a; stronger, smarter and better prepared person than what you were initially.
We are never too old to learn, so embrace the opportunity with both hands. Because these are life lessons, and you have one of the best teachers!
