When Life Knocks You Down

It’s 2008 Happy New Year!, surely leaves us with
both bitter and sweet memories. When we look
back, we can see the ups and downs of life, and
for sure , we will face more ups and downs in the
coming year, we certainly hope for the best,
but we should be prepared to take the bitter
with the sweet.
There is no way to avoid bitter reality forever,
but there are many ways to face it, One way
is to confront it with calmness and confidence.
Take a look at this story about Buddha. When
a man verbally attacked him, he responded
wisely “Son, if someone decline to accept a
present, to whom would it belong ?” The man
answered, “To the one who offered it” “and
so” said Buddha “I decline to accept your abuse”
so, when life knocks you down, don’t panic,
just be calm and take control of yourself.
Another way is to take it easy , be yourself,
do your best, and believe that everything
is going to be fine.
You can also use humor to fight discouraging
words that make you feel insulted or humiliated,
life is too precious to worry about its adversities.
Be strong and wise in facing bitterness in your life,
be who you are, do what you can do best and
don’t forget to pray and you will get hope for
any of your bitterness.
