Life is not always fair

Life is not always fair for if it is, it isn’t life at all.

Because life isn’t fair there lies the endless challenges and motivation that probably keep men and women reaching for the stars!

However, there is some consolation perhaps in the knowledge that the mass of men (and women too) actually lead lives of quiet desperation. Only that most of them are not telling.

You thought you’re damned but consider this: there are many people out there who are actually worse off or more damned than you.

So, when your chips are down don’t despair. Consider this: There is always someone somewhere in a more worrisome situation than you.

Someone once said, “We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse.” Didn’t it?

Indeed that’s probably true for most of us but when the worse is over, there will always be something better to look forward to. As they say, there will be sunshine always after the rain!

The key to success in this life is you’ll have to chase after your dreams vigorously if not passionately, after all a man reaps what he sows.

That’s the way it is with life. The advice is: don’t stay permanently in the rut if ever you’re caught in one.

Consider what these wise men and women have said about life.

“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
~Mark Twain

“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.”
~Cary Grant

“There is much in life that doesn’t have to be done instantly. There are phone calls that don’t have to be returned immediately. There are many difficult problems and decisions that actually improve when they are left to simmer a little while. The rhythm of life is intricate but orderly, tenacious but fragile. To keep that in mind is to hold the key to survival.”
~Judge Shirley M. Hufstedler

“Life is not a 100-yard dash, but more a cross-country run. If we sprint all the time, we not only fail to win the race, but never even last long enough to reach the finish line.”
~Joseph A. Kennedy

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,” “I used everything you gave me.”
~Erma Bombeck

It’s alright if we didn’t make it in life. In the end, it’s not how much we have but how well we have lived; not how long it is but how good it is, are what matters.

I conclude with this often quoted prayer that’s found from an inn in Lancaster, England:

“Give us Lord, a bit o' sun,
A bit o' work and a bit o' fun;
Give us all in the struggle and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit o' butter.”

Cheers and God bless.
