be thankful...

Sometimes it's just hard to accept what you gotta to in life. sometimes you don't even want to go through such tribulations and hardships that come across without even saying hello. It's just not possible to know what you will be going through in life, and list down what you actually choose to take and avoid. Life would be insignificant.

Every human being on earth is tested. Tested in the form of a longlife journey that we don't even have the right to choose. We can say we like or dislike something, but we can never opt out of something that is just in our way. Life obviously has its ups and downs that we can never avoid. When we are in our ups of life, we are definitely HAPPY and SMILING and THANKFUL. But it's just not fair for us to be happy all the time. It's just plain logic to be tested with all kinds of negatives in life to make sure that we are genuine in being a slave to our Creator. If we are just given pure happiness without having to actually strive, again, life would be very very insignificant.

It is that part that comes and knocks us down and brings us to the bottom of the cycle is what actually makes us worried, scared, and hopeless. Even, we may have at some point in life said that LIFE IS NEVER FAIR. But do we actually have the license to say such things when we already know that it is not fair to ALWAYS be happy. Then what is the point of living on earth and having interactions with people and animals if the only thing we get from this is happiness? Moreover if we realize that this is TEMPORARY HAPPINESS?

People definitely complain. A LOT. But it is just because we don't realize how much we have gotten so far in life and just because of this downward journey that slaps us on the face, we tend to complain so much and sort of being ignorant towards what has been in our HAPPY part of life. Is this FAIR?

I guess the most important thing is to just think thoroughly about the significance of life. We have a lot of choices in life, but we rarely make the right ones. WHY? The answer is dead obvious. Because we are not THANKFUL ENOUGH. We normally make choices just hoping that this decision would bring total happiness. But do we actually ask for the true way of making decisions? Do we seek guidance from our Creator when we need to decide? And do we realize that when we make decisions out of hoping that it will bring us 'eternal' happiness WITHOUT first asking for guidance, we tend to be upset and further complain, saying that LIFE IS NOT FAIR. Again.


Life is just plain simple. It is not always on top. And it is not always at the bottom. It is absolutely FAIR. Because HE is the one that created us and knows every single thing that needs to be done. So ask for His Guidance and protection, and definitely, be thankful for every single part of your life, even if it is bitter. Coz that bitter part of your life is the beginning of a sweet memory. He is never unfair, so be THANKFUL. =)
