Why is life so harsh at times? …. Life Will Never Be Perfect! — part 238
Keep one thing in mind life is going to be harsh if not today then tomorrow and if not on tomorrow then day after tomorrow... Face it... Suck it up...
Accept that, "Life Will Never Be Perfect" — What this means you will never actually have to take action and confront your fear. Do the scary thing. You will be so glad you did.
— If you can't accept this fact it makes life hard.
— If you are waiting for a godlike soul in shining aura to gallop into your life and heal your broken heart, you will be waiting forever. The only person who can help you is yourself. Be happy for the other people in your life, but do not become dependent on them for happiness unlike you like to be on a never-ending emotional roller-coaster that is far beyond the realm of your control.
So tell me? -- Are you alone? No, far from it. Understand - "No One Is Going to Fix You!" Because no one is going to fix you, so it is in your best interest to take personal responsibility for your own life. When you do that, you’ll discover you are more powerful than you ever thought possible.
— If you can't Understand this fact it makes life hard.
Failure is not an end! — Be prepared to fail (alot)
— If you attempt to achieve an ambitious new goal, then it is possible that you will fall on your face while pursuing said goal.
Welcome to reality. It’s time to change your thinking about failure. It is not a big, bad thing that you should be frightened of. Failure is a learning opportunity and nothing more.
Be prepared to fail because - "Failure is not an end!" Learn from it. This process very well could repeat itself several times. But never give up, try to continuously improve yourself, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.
— And yes again if you are not prepared to fail this will also make life hard.
Know that - The Past Is Already Written!
— Have you ever made a mistake so monumental that you wish you could go back in time and do it all over again? Join the club. It’s called being human. I know you might feel immense regret, but beating yourself up over something that is already done serves no purpose.
Shift your attention to the present, where you can take control of your life and move forward into a better future.
— Yeah past is past its gone, you have to move on. If you can't, this is certainly gonna make your life hard.

Thank you … Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed — A simple fact that we all mostly ignore
— Steve Jobs said it best, so I’m going to defer to him for this harsh truth:
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
Do whatever you want to do it on today only - Because "Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed!"
The next time you catch yourself playing the “I will do it tomorrow” game, remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Traffic accidents, heart attacks, and acts of violence do happen. Live in the present and take action today, because that is where progress happens.
II don’t know about tomorrow, change yourself from today, don’t push it on tomorrow, because if you push it on tomorrow, we know tomorrow never comes and well — this too makes life hard.
Want to add word or two?
If life is giving you a few hard kicks it is because you are in the wrong place...all the time.
We are like fish flapping on the bank of the river out of the water. Fish belong in the water, and when they are out of it they suffer. They gasp and life’s really hard for them. They can’t move except by convulsing their body and throwing themselves a few inches in one direction or another. They can’t breathe because they need to absorb oxygen from water. They overheat in the sun, they are in the wrong environment. They belong in the water.
Doesn’t matter what you do for the fish, like keeping it in an air-conditioned room and sprinkling fish food next to its mouth or draping seaweed over it and keeping another fish next to it, nothing is going to solve the problem that the fish is not in its natural environment. And don’t think evolution is going to solve the problem either.
We are spiritual. We are not material bodies. Spirit doesn’t belong in the material world. Spirit wants to be free, immortal, full of bliss, full of knowledge, able to do whatever it wants, but when it comes to the material world it becomes mortal, it suffers, is restricted, and born in ignorance because it identifies with the material body.
Your comment ….?
Regardless of what adjustments we make to our material situation, we are in the wrong environment. We are spiritual and belong in a spiritual environment, only then will life not be hard. No amount of material opulence or power can change the material world into the spiritual world.

3 年Life is neither soft nor hard, it wholly relies on the choice a person takes when he is at affliction, Lord Krishna and Karna faced similar hardships, but their judgment ushered the difference, the same applies to everyone Let me exemplify with a reputed short tale: Egg Carrot and Coffee beans A young woman went to her grandmother, told her about her life and how things were so rigid for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up as she was fatigued of fighting and scuffling. It seemed one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her grandmother took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a simmer. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last, she placed ground coffee beans. She let them boil, about twenty minutes turned off the burners. She fished the carrots and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her granddaughter, she asked, “Tell me, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The grandmother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The granddaughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The granddaughter then asked, “What does it mean?” Her grandmother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity – boiling water – but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened! The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you?” the grandmother asked her granddaughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong but, with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit but, after a hardship, does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to another level? How do you handle adversity? It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters --
