The important thing is not to be bitter over life's difficulties. Learn to let go of the past, recognize that everyday wont be sunny and when you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember,Its only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So dont be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble to fall.... Because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you the most.

Well Spoken cyatibarra, it is in our failures and disastrous experiences where we have the greatest opportunity to learn and grow. If life was always easy and painless it would also be dull. The bright can't be bright without dark. That is not to say that if we make a mistake and do something wrong it is fine and we should not strive for doing better next time, just that it is good we experience a unpleasant feeling now and then to let us know we need to make a change. Obstacles and difficulties I believe are only difficult because we have not yet learned to let go. Relax and just be content, since all things in life are impermanent and subject to change why do we make such a fuss. Why do we feel compelled to dwell in little things (or what we perceive as big) not going our way.

Indeed dharma, thanks for sharing your thoughts, we can never appreciate life if we wont experience difficulties.and sometimes events in our lives happens for a reason, either to teach us some lesson or add knowledge for us to share to others. No one said life is easy nor hard but we can still choose to be happy if we want to. Thanks friend. :)

A good reflection, my friend ... sometimes we really have to see the enthusiasm shown by a baby. Remember, when still be baby, we can't direct can walk, right ? To be able walk, we need to go through the process of crawling and standing. We fell repeatedly, crying but keep trying and try again until it can
