Life Is Not Always the Party We Expected

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts.
We should stop making our lives complicated.
Life is short
Break the rules forgive quickly, kiss passionately, love truly, laugh constantly
And never stop smiling no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

The words above were part of an email from a friend. Extremelly good words to live by though. How happy are you? What makes your hardships worst than the next person's? The only ones born who get out unscathed are the stillborn. So why not enjoy what we have?

It's been said many times before that we have all that we need right now and I believe that to the fullest. When I haven't had money, there's been a friend to feed me. When I didn't have a job, amazingly enough I survived and came out alive.

There's no challenge whatsoever in focuses on the wrongs in our lives but the true challenge lies in seeing the good in spite of.

I can always love, laugh, smile, cry, and be thankful for something & sometimes it might be the smallest of things. Why spend life being miserable?
