Life plays hard to get.

I think sometimes life plays hard to get.. or maybe I just don't know the rules. In some moments you try really really really hard to accomplish something and you don't get it. And then you almost forget about that desire until 10 years later, it arrives at your doorstep unexpectedly. People say that you have to strive or you have to go after it if your really want it.. but sometimes for me it doesn't work that way.. and some people will say it will come when you don't think about it. So what's your philosophy on life? When have your experienced this and what happened?

Hi, Lore: Life is a huge puzzle and perplexing. Sometimes give us the things we do not want and prevent us other things we want and need it, but you may discover later that in all, a great interest to us. Mankind does not know good from evil in the journey of searching for money, prestige and wealth. Therefore, we must all strive in our quest and our work in this life and leave the results to the Creator of the universe, he is our Creator, and knows very well that the interest of mankind in order to create the universe we Ptamierh. The bottom line is, to strive in our work, to satisfy our Lord, nor disobey his order of things, which ordered us to leave it, and when it will be wonderful results

I was always fascinated by this phase "This too, Shall pass". It simply means that life is not constant. One's hardship cannot last forever and all things must come to and end. No matter how hard life is, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. It may not happen overnight, but with persistence, patience and handwork, surely that light will become bigger and brighter as the days go by.

Life is never easy. It is full of challenges. We cannot just get what we want. But as I always believe God just give us what we need. we cannot plan our life as much as we can because God has better plan. If you don't get what you want, that means you will get it at the right time or it is never meant for you and something much better is waiting for you.

Many says that there are things that comes unexpectedly especially the blessings. I experienced this one. I was transferred in a field location from laboratory works. My allowance was removed but suddenly tranferred to my basic pay. I am not expecting that when it was tranferred to my basic, it will have a 50% increase. furthermore after eight months, I was given another wage hike. In summary, my basic salary was increase twice in the same year. I was really happy for it and I did not expect it to happen.

definitely, life plays hard to get, sometimes people put lots of expection on one thing, but finally the results are not always like we were expected. So that's must make us down, for me it is quite necessary to cultive a mentality, although it is not easy!

Opportunities come when we don't expect them. I sometimes feel like giving up but fortunately an unexpected opportunity will show up. Life is somewhat challenging. We have to face all the challenges in our lives. We have to be tough.

Now-a-days, I won't look for something which I can't reach. When we observe more closer to realities we are limited to an extend from which what we have and if we cross the limits, we may have to wait until it will reach us incidently or whatever. From my observation, we can expect or look for anything and wish for anything that we want and can wait for long, but not necessary that it will arrive. However, if we limit our expectatins with what we want and try to get it, I think we can have it within the time period and we can really enjoy. I have tailored everything for me and most of the things I have acheived that all I needed and also, I never had a though that that whatever I achieved could have get ever in my life. So I am really happy with what I have...

Sometimes when I want something really much and don't achieve it I feel bad. But after a while I realize that I probably was not ready to have and enjoy the achievement. It makes me thinking that everything comes in the right moment. Doesn't matter if we have bad or good moments, it's all meant to learn us things for life. That's probably the reason some people say that they learn something on every step they make, build knowledge and probably get used to appreciate things they didn't have before because of some reasons. If I can't get something I need or wish now, I may have it in future, which I strongly hope and I put all possible efforts to achieve it. I know when the right moment for me comes, I will get there where I wanted.

I think life is fair. I always believe that whatever we are now is the product of the decisions we made in the past. If ever I did not get something that I want, I try to figure out where I did wrong, what should have I done and should have not done. I have a lot of changes in my self, the way I see things, the way I react on matters and outcome of a decision. Life is a continuous learning. We might have committed some mistakes in the past but through these mistakes, we will be able to learn and we will refrain ourselves from committing the same mistakes. Although there is a proper time for everything, we still have to look for the thing that we want to have such as success in life. It will not come to us if we will just stay in one place doing nothing.

Ah yes, life, hard to get? Yes. Unfair? definitely. However we are here your aliv you gotta make the best of what you have. I personally just believe in the good old dory, just keep swimming. People are so spellbound to achieve all these huge goals and things, and yes ok I also have my hopes and dreams but hey, we all die someday, money wealth, fame... all these things mean nothing when the eternal dark comes. I say do things you enjoy, and do them often. be as happy as you can in every possible way. Get to know your fellow human beings, be kind. This is everyone's world not some governments, not a boss's not your teacher or state or anything its yours and mine and the next persons. Seriously just enjoy as much of it in extremely high doses!
