A Spoonful of Life
Each individual has there own view on life and how we "should" be living each day. I truly believe that we should not take a day for granted. It's such a cliché saying but it is nothing but true, we have no idea what the future holds. Whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring down, the day is still occurring and it should be embraced for all that it's worth. People deal with struggles everyday. Your hot coffee spills onto your new white shirt or you hear of a death in the family. No matter how drastic it is, there will always be something to learn from it. The hardest part about dealing with struggles is realizing that it happened, it can't be taken back and the only thing you can do is learn from it. I once heard a quote that said something along the lines of this "later on in life, mistakes are what people call experience." This is very true in my eyes because you can learn from every experience and experience comes from both good and BAD things that have happened in your life. Experiences make you a stronger person than you were the previous day. When there's a time in your life and things are getting hard, it can be difficult to realize what can come from it. The better person can overcome these things, learn from them, move on and sometimes even forget what happened. My point in writing this is that each person has there own spoonful of life, metaphorically speaking, that was created just for them. Some may go for the sweeter part and have a spoon full of berries, others may have a bitter outlook and be less satisfied with there "spoon" so to speak. Take a look at what your spoon has on it and see if it was all worth it. Eliminate the bad and make room for the good. No one should hold onto the past struggles forever. So you tell me, is your spoonful worth living for?
