Imagine how mind-numbingly boring it would be if life was perfect and you never felt stressed or sick or angry or cold or wet or miserable
Imagine if all day, every day everybody was smiling and happy and content and serene
On the one hand, we all think we want life to be perfect and hassle-free but, without the challenges there could be no perfection.
Until you have been cold and wet you can never fully appreciate neing warm and dry.
Until you have been afraid and alone you can never fully appreciate being supported.
Until you have been sick and miserable you can never fully appreciate your health and vitality.
Until you have touched deep sadness you can never fully appreciate joy and laughter.
Until you've experienced the dark you can never fully appreciate the light.
So, thank the challenges.
Appreciate the negative.
Applaud the bad times.
They are adding colour and texture and depth and beauty to your life!
