Every person has his share
of good and bad times, in his life. A saying goes, “All that happens in our
life has a reason”. The above statement may sound as words of solace to many,
but would mean growth for those few, who take efforts to differentiate the pain
and the lesson derived from every bitter experience they face in life. Many a
times, we feel the pain and forget the lesson we rather cling on to the pain
and ask GOD why we are put under such a situation, rather than trying to analyze
what that situation implies, if we learn to separate the pain from the
experience, we can get a clear understanding of what went wrong and how it went
wrong. As we humans are emotional in nature, we often restrict our experience
to the feeling of happiness or sadness arising out of the situation. The wise
person will search for the hidden meaning in every experience.
We live our life based on
our own limited perceptions of what is right and what is wrong. The value
system we have built over the years may become questionable, as to its
worthiness someday. Are we willing to unlearn the old and learn the new? Are we
willing to dance to the new tunes? Life has no fixed set of rules. It keeps
changing from time to time.
The only way to live is to
take life as it comes. Living in the present. Being aware of all that happens
around us. Being flexible to the situation and willing to change. In the
evaluation of the planet, it is found that the cockroaches are the longest
existing species on earth and this is behalf they are extremely adaptable, to
all temperate zones. Let us apply the physical adaptability phenomena of the cockroaches
to our emotional adaptability, in this world and secure ourselves of a long and
stress free life.
