Life Lessons

We can look clearly at our lives and the life around us, and Live. Before we start crying and praying to the Universe to take away our Trials and Tribulations, we might more closely examine what it has given us. Maybe the "good" things are tests, possibly rather difficult ones at that, and the "bad" things are gifts to help s grow: problems to solve, situations to learn to avoid, habits to change, conditions to accept, lessons to learn, things to transform - all opportunities to find Wisdom, Happiness, and Truth.
