Life is about the journey

Recently, I told someone to have a little faith. Life was getting him down, and nothing was turning out quite like he expected it. Everyone hits rough patches like that, but those rough patches can be great learning experiences. You struggle through them, and everything turns out okay in the end, but the catch is that you have to believe that things will work themselves out or you will become lost in the daily struggle and never see the end (or notice it when it comes around). Sometimes things work out better than what we initially wanted, for reasons that we can't explain. When that happens, you need to recognize it and enjoy it because you have been given a gift. Sometimes, things end worse than we wanted, but it's worse for a reason that you have yet to fully recognize and appreciate. If everything worked out exactly how we wanted it to, there would be no excitement or adventure in life. Where's the fun in knowing every plot twist before it happens? I'd rather have some shitty moments to throw me off the scent and be surprised with a happy ending, even if it's only happy compared to the shitty parts. Sometimes, you have to help fate out a little and put yourself in the right place at the right time. In other words, don't be afraid to take risks. "Fortune favors the bold." If you spend all day sitting in your room, staring at the wall, how can you expect to meet your soulmate or become the darling of the gossip blogs? Moral of the story: enjoy life as it comes, whether it's good or bad. Never stop believing that everything is happening as it should, for there are higher powers beyond our control that are orchestrating everything in one helluva fucked-up ballet.
