I believe all of us have there fair share of moments in our life. For me, I would say my whole life is on a constant challenge; if given me a way to describe my life I would go with the rough seas. Waves by waves keep crashing after one another. But in my defence it is not a bad thing at all.
There is a fun way of saying to help people that are constantly having trials in life;
"When life gives you lemons, you made lemonade out from it."
It is true when there are trials in life, what we need to do is embrace it, accept it and make the best our from it.
"For who we are today is the result of the collective experience that we faced and experience in our younger days." -unknown-
Recently I was asked to helped out in my church to help guide the youths for a session of bible study due to the absence of the youth leader. It was quite a last minute thing hence I wasn't really prepared for anything except for a piece of paper that is given to me.
But well the topic of the day is quite interesting, and I would say that God really works in his wonder ways. The topic was about knowing who is God and how God appear in our lives and impact us. This topic really touched me a lot as I was just a very different person before I met Him.
Through out the sharing I shared about how I was convicted to became a Christian after a series of harsh events in my life. I was always blaming people around me for my misfortune and my hardship in my older days. But as days goes by I slowly understand why are all these event happening to me; and soon I realise these are gifts more that a curse or bad luck.
So why is it a gift?
A simple way to explain is that, if I don't go through those hard times last time, I would know what is the real meaning of pain, lost, despair. Knowing all these things in such a early timing helped me out when I was growing in to the society and I was able to be more compassionate to others and understand others; enabling me to give them the right support when others needed. And most important, I learned how to appreciate my life even more as well as the people around me.
I guess it is true that only the ones that falls will feel that pain, and knowing that pain is a strength.
I really thanked those hard times that I've gone through last time which enabled me to become who I am today. Everything happens for a reason, that it is always the best outcome for us. All we need to do is just to focus on the right angle while looking at all these events.
In conclusion, in life there's bound to be good and bad events happening. A person growth is not determined by how many happy and peaceful days he/she has mange to live by; but how he/she manage to overcome the hardship in their lives and tuned it into a great lesson to improve in their lifestyle.
Nothing is fully bad and awful. It is how we choose to view it.
So choose to look at things in a positive angle and all is well =)
Today is our best day ~~
