• Still Learning One of Life's Lessons

  It’s easy to get discouraged and feel defeated by life’s
  challenges. 

  Life isn’t always fair.

  You wish time would slow down so you could get more done but
  it won’t. 

  You want your life to have meaning,

  You want to be loved and you want to love.

  The path in front of you seem to be filled with traps, pitfalls and despair.

  You look back at all your wishes and dreams, while some may
  have come to fruition, others remain covered with the dust and grime of
  time. 

  There will be times when you will feel defeated, hopeless
  and beaten.  The dark clouds of pessimism
  spawn the twin demons of depression and self pity.

  I’ve learned and will continue to re-learn that how you
  react and respond to life’s challenges is crucial.  Don't ever give up on yourself. 
  

  Will I simply roll over and do nothing?  Or will I gradually pick up myself up, dust
  myself off and push forward?  You have to learn not to let life defeat
  you.   What’s important is your ability to learn from
  it, grow, be stronger, adapt and move on. 
  

  When you do that, you’ll have learned one of life’s most
  important skills.
