Have you ever noticed that some people seem to cruise through life without too many troubles, while others are plagued with all sorts of difficulties and hurdles along the way? There are no guarantees with this life of ours, but I believe we can better cope with the demands and stresses of life if we have the right attitude. Attitude is everything. When a door is closed in our lives, we have to look for the window of opportunity to turn things around and make things better. It isn't easy, and although we don't always have control on the things that happen to us in our lives, we can control our attitudes and actions. Some people are really good at bouncing back after adversity strikes, while others wallow in pity and despair. If we can wake up each day and say to ourselves, each and every day of my life is a blessing, we are reminded just how lucky most of us are. Here are some thoughts about how life can be compared to other things or situations.
Life is like:
- A mountain. It's hard to climb, but when you get to the top you not only feel a great sense of accomplishment, but the view is fantastic!
- The ocean. It can be calm and still, or rough and turbulent. But in the end, it's always beautiful.
- Photography. Focus is important in order to get a good shot.
- A photo album. You can look back at the moments, but never recapture them.
- A book. Every day has a new page with adventures to tell, things to learn and tales to remember. (From the movie "The Notebook")
- the game of basketball. You can't play it alone.
- riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. (Albert Einstein)
- like a novel. You are the author and every day is a new page.
