Still Learning One of Life's Lessons
It’s easy to get discouraged and feel defeated by life’s challenges.
Life isn’t always fair.
You wish time would slow down so you could get more done but it won’t.
You want your life to have meaning,
You want to be loved and you want to love.
The path in front of you seem to be filled with traps, pitfalls and despair.
You look back at all your wishes and dreams, while some may have come to fruition, others remain covered with the dust and grime of time.There will be times when you will feel defeated, hopeless and beaten. The dark clouds of pessimism spawn the twin demons of depression and self pity.
I’ve learned and will continue to re-learn that how you react and respond to life’s challenges is crucial. Don't ever give up on yourself.
Will I simply roll over and do nothing? Or will I gradually pick up myself up, dust myself off and push forward? You have to learn not to let life defeat you. What’s important is your ability to learn from it, grow, be stronger, adapt and move on.
When you do that, you’ll have learned one of life’s most important skills.

RYC: Music is my escape from everything. I get lost in it. The only kind I cannot handle and I don't consider it music is rap.
ohh, i hate you. lol! i'm not 12, i'm 28. grr!
just a question, were you familiar with the tagalog song i posted?
That's right, it's all about how we respond to life's challenges.
I agree with you, and I am learning as well.

that's the nicest advice: You have to learn not to let life defeat
you.
maybe oprah can add this on her books or something.
Never let anyone tell you that you can't do it
Keep fighting! =)
Are you hurting and sad my friend? Remember that Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.... its about learning to dance in the rain. Good wishes to you darling.
