Life is like being at the dentist. You always think that the worst is still to come, and yet it is over already. – Otto von Bismarck
Motivational Speaker Les Brown often said, “If You Do What is Easy, Your Life Will Be Hard. But if You Do What is Hard, Your Life Will Be Easy.” Life is a rollercoaster of hardship and suffering, in which we can derive meaning by paying attention to what is happening. Whatever will eventually go wrong in life and in the least expected time. The key is not to go wrong when things eventually go wrong. Life can be challenging at times, and the winter of life can become cold when one does not have the appropriate clothing. The Scandinavians have a great saying: “There is no bad weather; we have only inappropriate clothing.” Life will get tough at some point, and we have two choices. Either to become bitter or better, let the situation lessen us or learn the lessons that the situation has come to teach us.
