June 8, 2014- Hard Life

If you think life is hard, what are you comparing it to?

Before I start writing for today's questions, sorry I didn't stay on top of things too much lately. I was on vacation and out of the country so it was hard to always have access to the internet, as well as, the time. But I am back home now and will be on a schedule again. This is good because I am a create of habit and do well with routine. Plus it means I will be writing every day again.

I do think life is hard, but only at times. When things are going well, life is easy and fun. It is when we are having a dip in our life journey that it can be hard. Family issues, money problems, health battles, and the "dramas" of every day like can really bring life down. Believe me; I have experienced all of these just like I'm sure anyone reading this has. 

For me, I don't always think life is hard but I know a lot of people do. I think why so many people think that is because we believe what we see. Our society in inundated with images in the shows we watch, the movies we see, the things we read, and the stories we hear. Plus we live in a would where social networks consume life. All these images and people we are "friends" with or "following" put an image out there we want people to believe. That image is the perfect life, and if we are not matching that life than we think life is unfair and hard. Instead of trying to match our life with the ones we see, we need to figure out how to live our own lives. I'm not saying it is easy, but when you can figure out how to live your own life and not the life we think we should be living, it won't seem so hard. Once we stop comparing life will seem easy, even during the hard times.
