When life gives you a lemon

What do you do? When life turns out in a certain way over which you have no control, for example you might be born in a poor family, you are not beautiful/handsome, not too intelligent, in a forced relationship, never won a lottery, always had to struggle in every stage of life, education, job, family, relationships etc etc. What is your outlook towards life in such a situation, do you get tired, does life seem like a prison, how to you be happy and enjoy life? Do you ignore the problems hoping they will go away? What do you do when you seem to be the unluckiest person on this earth? What do you do?

Actually we have no control in our life. If I am in such a situation I can't enjoy life. It is a normal thing if I blame myself and my fate. Now I easily given an answer but in real life if it happens to somebody it is really a bad fate and I have seen same characters only in films. Naturally I have sympathy on those but real life and reel life is different. Let me ask one question to you. Why you are trying to give all the troubles to one person? Life is a journey with a path of thorns and stones. It does not mean that whole your path must be like that. We have to face the challenges in life. I don't think God can give all the bad things (only bad things) to somebody. He gives good things as well as bad things to everybody. Some people have enough courage to face the situations and those can live happily and other people fail to do the same. I wish each and every person have the courage to face the challenges. GOD bless you.

Hi Sreekala, I agree life has it's challenges both good and bad, if you only look at the bad you become miserable and make those around you miserable but if you find good in what you have then you find happiness. What I was trying to get started here was that some people start out better in life than others and if you are the unlucky ones then it is upto you how you find happiness in your life, easier said than done but no harm in trying. God bless you too. thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I understand what you intend to say. But to be very frank in such a situation I don't think I can find happiness. If I see somebody like that definitely I am very happy to extend the hand of help. I had miserable days in my life but in some way only. So it is difficult to understand the situation completely (the same way as a sufferer).

Yeah, sometimes it is difficult to understand a situation until you have experienced it yourself. Wish you all the best, happy myloting.

most of my life i use to ask why i am the unluckiest person that very place of my relatives or even my family there are problems that come to them. and now that i am having my own family it looks that i am suffering more on problems and struggling to overcome it and think always a positive way so that it will not be getting worse. i always ask for forgiveness to god if what ever i have done and be with me always for my downs and ups in my life. it is always god knows when will be my luckiest time and i always incourage my self every obstacles causing problem.

I think you have taken a very important step in that you stop asking your self WHY, but concentrate on HOW you can turn your life around. Wish you all the best, happy myloting.
