Life doesn't treat everyone the same way. For some, it is as if their roads are paved with satin gold - every step just falls into place and the journey is a smooth one, except with the most minor of infractions.

For the second lot of people, life deals with it, at every corner, some form of pitfall or other. Nothing comes easy. Struggle rules the day. Failure stomps its feet. Calamity strikes. Money is never enough. Friends aren't easy to come by. Criticism is abundant. Stress abounds and life seems too much to tolerate.

What do you do then? When failure haunts you. When your plans fail, when things don't come easy - what do you do? Do you fall down to your feet and cry? Or, do you stand up and fight?

I use my failure as an energy to have my vengeance to the world in a way that is favorable on my own victory.

If life is easy then I believe there's nothing more to live for. Trials are given to strengthen our souls. Calamities occur because of humans ignorance. Mother nature is like saying its pay back time since we humans had been abusing the nature our whole lives.

"Life is a matter of choice, we choose what our lives would become. Remember God has given us free will to choose our own destiny. To choose between what's right and what's wrong.

Our lives lies on our own hands---so we can't blame anyone else if our lives didn't turn out to be what we expected."

Happiness lies on every person. Its about being contented and learning to appreciate little things.

Most of the time we play victims of our own life on which we should have been the hero and the main character on our own life. We tend to play the bestfriend when we should not be.

For every fall there's every gain. When we fall we stand up and say that's life, but do not let it happen again for if it happens again then you cannot say that's life again. Because your trying to find reason for your own fault in that case.

Admit, accept and learn that is what life should be.

I Am Sorry to Say You are Not Well Informed ................... You Are in A Life Of Illusion .............. Come To the real World Learn To accept Reality ...........................

We all encounter misfortune and unexpected circumstances in our life. Tolerance gives us the strength to come to terms with circumstances when chance sabotages our expectations, or when we face difficulties at work, calamities or diseases. We need to accept, to ascend and descend with the rhythm of life in order to walk this life.

To prashantlava,


My dear, I am a human being that had experience a lot of painful things in life and I can never count it with my fingers because its too many that's why I know I'm living in the real world and not an illusion.

We all suffered in different cases in life, but did we ever asked our selves why? For sure we did, but did we find the right answer for that matter? Maybe you can try to reflect back with life and the things that had happen and ask yourself once again why it happened. To admit it or not in many cases we always try to reason out with our own self only not to blame our self. Its hard to admit an own mistake that is why we tend to find fault to others.

Reflect back and see that there's something that you had done reason for those things to happen.

Is it like when your starving and do not have a bread on the table, you blame parents because they didn't buy any instead of going out and get one for yourself to ease the hunger?

That's the point, we'd rather choose to stay at that one scenario in our life when we can rather choose to move forward and do something to make it better and when we fail on the first attempt we remain stagnant and say we just can't do it because were never skilled nor bless to do it. We only complain but did we ever did something before we even complain?

We always say life is unfair and it ends just like that why? Because that's what is marked in our minds. We complain and tell our stories like hundreds of times already but have we ever realize how many years of that story had passed?

Read well and you'll get what's the real message with this response.

I am not sure whether we are what we are and that our life has been programmed before birth. I've been convinced for many years that life was never designed to be easy.

Hi Zandi!happy
You are very right, 'Life is not a bed of roses'. Life's journey always crosses many tricky paths with its ups and downs. Ups and downs are parts of life and we should accept it gracefully. Getting overjoyed on our successes or on our achievements or getting too down and out on our failures lead us nowhere. We need to accept the challenges and failures in life with a bold face. It is also said that 'failures are the stepping stones in our life'. If some events in my life make me feel down and out, I do not give up easily, I try to fight it out to the best of my abilities and capabilities. I remain optimistic and believe that there is always some light at the end of tunnel (of sorrows). Crying or cribbing on our problems does not help, we need to fight out the oddities in our life.
Good Post!thumbup


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5718)   ranked 12 out of 3,466 in life  6 months ago

I agree with you that crying does not solve the problems. Digging down, finding strength, and standing up to hardship can be one of the great rewards and joys of life. On a positive not, I've learned that, no matter what happens, however bad it seems today, life does go on and it will be better tomorrow.


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (8834)   ranked 401 out of 3,466 in life  6 months ago

Hi Zandi!
Yes we should always be optimistic and should feel that 'tomorrow would be better'.

I think your right, we are different people, lived in different situation. I could fall across hardly imgining tragedy in some times.But as far as i am concerned,i think just according to this, our life is brilliant and fabulous,and it can inspirit us to move . so i think the different ways have different way to move as long as you can face it bravely. So go your way happy.

In life we should expect problems as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high and be strong and don't let problems defeat you.

When I fall down I allow myself to cry for while and then usually make the decision to pick myself up and carry on. I will stand up and fight if I feel strongly enough about something. I try very hard to ‘go with the flow’ and let go of results and allow life to move through me. I think that stopping the need to control is the trick to a much happier existence with a lot less struggle and stress.

We need to be courageous to face the pitfalls in life. Cry when you need to, as it is a sure way of releasing stress and pain. Determine to choose the right pace: If you go too quickly you can catch up with misfortune, and if you go too slowly, misfortune can catch up with you. When you are both patient and persistent, you miss the wrong places and end up where you're supposed to be.

I'm one of those for whom life has never come easy. I've had to fight for every little thing I've ever gotten. I'm still fighting. Seven years now, waiting for Social Security to believe a dozen doctors who all day I cannot work. If I could work, I would work. I've worked since I was 14 years old. That was my first, part-time, after school and Saturday job working for my dentist. I've always loved working but it hasn't been easy.

I've been cursed with panic disorder syndrome since the age of 17. Working with that is hard, but not impossible. I trudged on. At 19, I was told I had cervical cancer and needed surgery. I've actually had 28 surgeries to date. Not one of them was elective. They were all necessary, some to save my life.

I've never done street drugs or drank alcohol in excess. I don't drink at all now because of my numerous medications. I've always been a law-abiding and moral person.

My first husband, who was so warm and wonderful while we were dating, did a 180 as soon as we were married and became an abusive, dangerous husband. I had to get away from him before he killed me and our very young son (4 months old when we separated).

Life has gone on like this. I've had happy moments and, I fully believe, people like me keep on going in search of those happy moments. That's what gives us strength to persevere.

Someone in here said that life is what we make it. That is not true with everyone. I never asked for cancer. I never asked for my father to die of muscular dystrophy when I was 19. I never asked for a tubal pregnancy that almost killed me. I didn't ask to hemorrhage from my cancer surgery. I never asked for an abusive husband. I never asked to have a child with multiple health problems, beginning at 3 weeks of age. But, they happened. I dealt with them. That's what you have to do. Deal with it and move on.

But, I've also had some really great things happen to me and I cherish those things. I've made some wonderful memories for me to think about when I can no longer do anything. I've created a loving bond between my sons and myself.

If I am only able to plant one flower, and watch it grow into it's full beauty, I'm happy. I think that, the harder life is, the easier it is to understand and appreciate the little things that mean so much.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5718)   ranked 12 out of 3,466 in life  6 months ago

Obviously, everyone's story is different. Yours seems to be complicated coupled with a disorder and a cancer scare that would have send shudders on anybody and likely surrender to life. But you are mentally strong and a very courageous lady. And in spite of life's many 'negative elements," you're challenged to make the most of it under all circumstances. If you don't have the courage to do this, you'll never find the real meaning of life. And never become the fully alive person you're capable of being. Life is hard, and not always fair. Whether we like it or not, that's the way things are.

Hi zand,

Please do not worry too much. First thing money is never too much nor should it be. You will invite more unhappiness.

The Nature has never been partial to distribute its attributes to the people but it is the we who fail to see them and make a crying road ahead. I know what problem in life is, I have seen people in sheer despondency.

And seeing them al reeling under the pressure have learnt a lesson that when adversity strikes you face it and strike it back, fave the problem from the front and your agony would be much lesser. happy


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5718)   ranked 12 out of 3,466 in life  6 months ago

H raj, Money in the absence of right values, can also push us into a purposeless existence. Leading an aimless life, people drift easily into bad habits and indulge in excesses. such indulgence brings with it the hangover of misery. To escape it, individuals commit suicide, even though the act is considered a sin by all religions. Lack or too much of money is not the only problems in life. There are many other major or minor problems that we face in life that need to be addressed.
