Lesson Learned...

Why do bad things happen to good people we often ask?

Why do we have to go through and experience times when the going gets tougher?

Why can’t we simply reap the harvest of our toil and many sacrifices?

Instead, it seems life keeps handing us situations we never bargained for and when considered don’t even deserve

My theory for this is; if we never experience pain, we won’t appreciate joy.

Unfortunately we can’t choose the kind of pain we encounter or determine the level of pain we deserve to feel and amount of tears we should shed

However, through time and much heartbreak, I’ve come to realize that every disappointment as they say, has become a blessing in my life. How?

Well every time I feel I’ve grown or feel I’ve adopted certain principles I get tested

May seem unfair as of the time it happens but after I’ve sailed through and by the grace of God overcome, I find that it was necessary for me to go through that so that I can grow and come out on the other side a lot stronger.

So, this is my two cents worth: when you find your self in a bind, in a situation that seems too hard to bear or even handle, when u find yourself heartbroken beyond repair or when a loved one unexpectedly or expectedly hurts you, that is the time when joy and encouragement should be your best friend. Seems crazy but that is the time to get your heart, mind and soul aligned with the spirit of God get a pen and paper and learn all you can cause with every trial comes the opportunity to choose either to win and prosper (conquer) or lose and be conquered. So here’s my question to you? Are you going to wallow in self pity and let your troubles weigh you down or are you going to rise above learn the lesson and experience a higher level of joy and love, for me the latter sounds great.

As you journey through life, remember to take the good and the bad, filter your thoughts and words as they do have the power to shape and change your life, remain positive always, cleanse your soul, cry if you need to but never ever wallow or worry as that never moves you forward, it breaks you instead, leaving pieces of your soul for the wind to sweep away. Focus on the journey and learn the lesson, as that is the only way to truly overcome.

Remember, the only way to truly overcome and prosper is to subtract the lesson from the problem, learn the lesson and the problem inevitably disappears as the purpose for which it existed has been accomplished. Learn to have a positive outlook on life no matter what. Easier said than done but definitely worth a try.

Peace, Favor, Faith, Hope and Love.
