The Flow of Life.....A Realisation...

Life is the best teacher for many and of course its for me too. It has taught me how to enjoy success and also how to learn from my failures. But, there s one different aspect of life which everyone hates to endure, "going through tough times". Life is good when everything goes our way and we feel "at the world's end" when something goes against us. This kind of experience, I believe everyone of us would have endured for sure.

There have been occasions when we enjoyed a lot with our friends, tasted success in whatever we did and to sum up "everything went our way". Those were the periods when we thanked God for giving us this beautiful life. But, none of us ever wishes to even think of those periods when failure was our way of life and tragedies were the day-to-day events. This is the other part of life, or to put it simpler, the other side of the coin. The two aspects of the life are inseparable. Lets see how to view this befuddled part of our life.

Life is a flowing river that takes all who are in its way, the same manner a river takes all those particles floating on it. The particles pass through the smooth water surface, through cool waters and surrounded by lush vegetation. But, they also stumble upon hard rocks and flow from high cliffs. The same anomaly can be employed here, people as particles of river pass through happier moments also through the darker periods during their life. What is implied here is "everyone must accept the flow of life".

Sometimes life lends you a warm touch and at other times hits you with a hammer. A clever person recognises the hammer as the alarm to change his course of action to become a better individual and acts accordingly. Next, life doesn't always provide you with the same resources, as I said, warm moments and hard times are provided as mandatory to every individual. Also, the two of them are never permanent. One succeeds the other and may be their effects are permanent. But, a even more intelligent person changes those effects due to bad times into better ones when he s through better times!!!

Accept the flow of life as it treats you. Don't stand against it. This doesn't mean you must give up when there is no hope of continuing further. Efforts are different from flow of life. What you do constitute the efforts and the rest come under the forces of life. When you have done your fullest and if still something goes wrong, then it indicates something better awaits you in the near future and its going to be a surprising turn of events. Everyone must do what is expected of them and the result then doesn't affect them, because they will surely be rewarded some day if not immediately.

To conclude, nothing is lost when something is lost. Not everything is achieved when success is tasted, finally "Don't let success reach your head and failure reach your heart"......Accept life as it comes to you...........Life is beautiful##
