Lessons In Life

Hope this didn't come out too preachy! But these are lessons that I have learnt in life. Some of them are beyond me but realizing their absence in my life has made me try harder. Attaining even a fraction of these truths can make life less painful.

Everything in life happens for a reason

Gently nudging us along the way.

Like the quiet play of changing season

Some tender some sad some happy.

Beautiful sunrise starts a sunny day

And darkest darkness a starry night.

For without sorrow one knows not joy.

Accept both the day and a starless night

Everyday a new page always opens

Brings the welcome and the unwanted.

Accept both with wide-open arms

Both are there for a purpose unnamed.

Past lessons are wisdom if simply learnt,
Mistakes are teachers of pain and gain.

Past is past but may visit the present

Falling teaches to rise and never fall again

Misfortune brings out the best in you

Strengths you never thought you possess.

The doors of opportunity unlocks for you
Regret not the countless doors that close.

Learn to keep mind wordless and silent

Do what is essential to solve a puzzler

Let nothing affect the peace and quiet
Feel no panic or anxiety for the future.

Things always turn out just right

For those making the most of a day

Problems are never problems tight
For those that grow riding today.
