Life's lessons

Everytime I have faced a harsh time in my life.... I have surfaced without any scars.... was what I used to think. Now i realize that every breathing moment we have on this earth will have some consequence on our lives later. Its sunny outside while I write this and I realize just the simple act of the Sun coming out has made my day that much brighter. Now when I go back to my studies after writing this I have a smile on my face and am even more determined to put my best foot forward in whatever i do. How u ask?? Well how can one enjoy the simple joys of life, the ones that matter the most if one has not seen the other side of the coin? When tomorrow I have achieved my dreams and made something out of myself, I can gladly look back to many such days when I almost gave up but for something small like this making me reboot and start afresh. That day I will look at the Sun and thank it for all that it has given me. In a similar vein, when something upsets me, it arms me for future troubles and makes sure I am armed and ready for battle the next time some trouble comes knocking on my door. When you lose a battle, dont lose the lesson too.....
