"Nobody Said It Was Easy..."


That line from a song by the group Coldplay just echoed in my head just before I began to write this.

Could describe life, couldn't it?

Life certainly isn't easy...but then again...it doesn't have to be hard.

Echoing the music theme - here's another line by an eighties group called Talk Talk -

"Life's what you make it!"

And that's certainly true as well!

Whatever situation you find yourself in...whether you are happy or not...all depends on how you inwardly view your 'lot'.

It's easy to moan and complain about how tough or unlucky your life is. Perhaps that's why so many people do exactly that.

I refuse to accept that my life has to be terrible because it looks that way compared to my family and everyone I know.

Lesley and I have more to deal with emotionally and physically than our friends and family. But...everyone else is not as happy as we are!

If I wanted to prove my point - I just have - because we have every right to moan and complain.

But...

Life's like Star Wars.

You can either choose to stay and fight for the 'good side' - or give into the 'dark side'.

With my asthma I may sometimes sound like Darth Vader - but the similarities end there! (Though you haven't seen any recent pictures of me, have you? lol)

If you look upwards - you see the blue sky of opportunity.

If you look downwards - you see the brown sludge of wasted opportunity.

Only you can choose which way you look at you life...but I strongly recommend that you don't spend all of your life looking down at your feet!
