You may be thinking why is the bad a blessing? why should I be thankful for the struggles I face in life?
We know we should appreciate the good that comes our way but what about the bad. How is this possible? If someone has lost their possessions or have their family taken away. Why should you be thankful. It is hard to have a thankful heart in hard times and have a positive outlook. The reason as to why we should be thankful in hard times is because strength comes from these experiences.
The experiences we go through enable us to help others, perhaps friends or family members or even a stranger. Helping someone is rewarding in itself and the difficult times enable you to do this. The hard times also make us STRONGER in the long term.
Are you having a hard time? what kind of attitude and outlook do you have? Is it a good attitude or is it an ungrateful and hateful one. If it is, this tends to consume your personality and makes you become bitter in the end.
I personally think the good and the bad are both blessings in life. Everything happens for a reason, and if you didn't face the struggles, how would you learn to appreciate and be thankful when good comes your way?
i agree with this. i sometimes struggle to not throw myself a pity party when i feel things 'aren't going my way' but it is something i am working on.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that all of the time. Life is way to short to be feeling sorry for yourself though. Its hard not to but once you change your mindset you begin to live with a happier life.
