Life is full of ups and downs. For everyone.
A lot of our unhappiness in life comes from thinking, “It shouldn’t be this way.” Just accepting the fact that “It should be this way” is the first step on the path to happiness. How do I know it should be this way? Because it is. Everything is happening exactly as it is meant to happen.
When you get on a rollercoaster, you can very well expect to have some ups and downs. You can also expect some opposing emotions like fear and excitement.
Do you enjoy the whole rollercoaster ride? Or just a part of it?
Do you like creaking slowly upward? Or the fast nosedive?
Do you like the loop-de-loops? Or the ups and downs?
Do you like being jerked from side to side? Or getting air?
Do you like feeling nauseous, dizzy, and jostled?
Or do you just want the picture at the end that said, “I did this. I survived.”
We are on the ride called LIFE. We can expect some interesting features on this ride. It’s inevitable that we have some ups and downs—some opposing emotions.
That’s the ticket we bought.
When we get on a rollercoaster we expect all these things. It is the same with life. You are on this ride. There will be some ups and downs. It will be scary and exhilarating. So now you just have to strap yourself in, remember that everything is happening exactly as it’s meant to, and enjoy the ride.
