Life Would Be Boring If Everything Were Easy

This is my new mantra. For those of you that have been waiting on a new post, I apologize. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to say, so I didn't say anything at all. I am fine physically, at least according to doctors, so that is good and I will leave it at that. I have come to realize I am going to have to make some changes in my life that are necessary, but I am not exactly thrilled about. But that is life. As I stated above, life would be boring if everything were easy. When I was a kid, I used to say that phrase that many kids say "That's not fair." My dad would follow up with "Life's not fair." But I think the statement he made that had the most wisdom was "Fair is when everyone gets what they want. Equal is when everyone gets the same." And he is right. Life's not fair because we don't always get what we want. But it is learning from those scenarios is what enables us to grow and become better people because of it. You have to think though, if we were never challenged, would we ever reach our full potential? Probably not. Shitty things happen. Lots of times they happen to good people. But that is life. We take what we are given, and we are to be thankful. Believe me, I am thankful. I am thankful for my family, my friends, my home, my job, everything that I have ever been blessed with. Yeah, sucky things have happened to me. I am sure sucky things have happened to you as well. But the most important thing is to keep your chin up and keep going. You have to know that getting through whatever hard time you may be encountering will only make you stronger.
