the challenge called "life"

Life is frustrating yet so challenging...

it is so unpredictable...probably that is exactly why we arn't bored of it yet!
we face different situations each day...
good memories we cherish...think about them for hours because we love the feeling they bring along with them...
the bitter ones??...we hold them close too...
why?? nobody has an answer.
probably its because we tend to feel that those 'bad' times are just our 'good' times in disguise and that if we refuse to let go, maybe they will just shed off the disguise and come rushing right back to us...

sometimes these phases last for so long that it feels like its gonna take forever to get over them...or for that matter get beyond them...
we crib...we cry...we vent out...probably we don't try hard enough...probably we don't want to...
at times we try to run away from our past...but unable to do so, we bounce right back...
we falter...we fail...we trip...we fall...
and then we dust ourselves and try to get back on our feet...
sometimes we sit too long on the ground crying...
we start feeling lost...
we begin to feel alone...defeated...and then...
then we look around and notice...
notice ppl in the same situation as ours...
they too have fallen hard...they too are struggling to get back...
everybody is fighting a battle...everyone has their own cross to bear...

in a way all of us are living parallel lives...
but most of the time we are oblivious to the others around us.
thats probably the reason we start feeling lonely...
or maybe we are soo busy revelling in self pity that we ignore the pain around us...

but each one of us ought never to forget that every cloud, no matter how dark does have a silver lining.
we just gotta hang in there and wait.
no matter how many times we fall, we should never give up on our capacity to dust ourselves and say 'im okay'...
because each fall is but a test...
a test of hope...a test of courage...of strength...of faith...
for HE works in mysterious ways...
and the masterplan will unfold and one day we will find all the answers!!

He, is watching and is ever ready to bless, as he always does.
Every Rose has its thorn and every black cloud it's silver line.
