Life is not a bed of 🌹Roses

March 30th, 2022.

I returned from work yesterday, walked into to my room and was looking at the mirror. People would say that life is a bed of roses, but I know that at times things are not always the way we want it to be.

So much has been said about life being a bed of roses, where you just lie there and sleep peacefully, this is not true. Life would always be accompanied by both the ups and downs in life.

Life is not a bed of roses, there would always be ups as well as downs, that's why you have to prepare for the worst, or let me rephrase that, always be happy, because it is guaranteed that you would experience both.

When it comes about making plans for the future, you have to first prepare for the worst, so that you would not be caught off guard when things do not go according to your plan. You will never know what the future holds for you, and if you prepare for the worst and things still does not turns out as intended, it's still alright, because what's done is already done.

When you know that there will be ups and downs in life, you can better prepare yourself for it. There are no two ways about it because those two things are inevitable and you cannot just choose on which one to experience. But when you know how to deal with these two things, you will find out that life is really not that hard after all.

Reality is not always as we expect it to be. That is why many people have some problems in life. Some of them can not adjust with the situation and make their life miserable. For example, a person in love may have been rejected by the one he or she loves, or a successful student can get bad grades on his final exams.

Do not expect things to always be the way you want it (though I'm not disputing or against the part of you having faith), because life is not a bed of roses, there would always be ups as well as downs. If you are going to have good things in life, then you have to work hard for it.

Here's an advice to you, always plan ahead. You may not be able to do everything, but it is a start if you do something. At least you will have the sense of achievement even if your goal is far away.

Life is not as sweet as it seems when you’re on top of the world. And at times, it can be really bad when you’re at the bottom of the pit – when you have nothing but debts and your spouse leaves you for an ex-lover.

Life surely is not a bed of roses for anyone. There will always be ups and downs and it is up to us to make sure that we take what we need from life, whether monetarily or in terms of our well being. After all, life is not just about getting up on the wrong side of the bed all day long.

Life also gives us experiences, so enjoy it and learn from it. When you face troubles, don't give up and say this is my last day at once. There will be more opportunities for you in the future if you are still positive with whatever it is that you are facing. Learn from your mistakes, and let the troubles in your life make you stronger instead of weaker.

You need to be strong enough to accept it and have a plan to overcome the challenges you are going through.

Take note that where there is light, there would still be darkness.

Challenges would never be avoided, but we can still overcome it by learning how to stand back up after every fall and keep moving forward towards our goals. Once you are able to do that, you can say that you are truly living life to the fullest.

Life is not always as sweet as it might seem. There’s an old saying that says, “If life was fair, everyone would have a million dollars, living in a big house with a pool and a chicken in every pot.” And that’s usually how we think life to be. But, in reality, life isn’t always that great.

Special Thanks

Thanks to everyone that wished me well on my birthday. God bless you all. May we all be celebrated.
