Trouble comes in threes

Then the sun peeks out from the clouds. First one ray. Then another. More sunshine pours over the dark clouds, scattering them away. Good times are back again. You can smell the roses. You face life with zest. This is the period that you want to hold onto time. You hardly feel time ticking. You await the results of each gesture eagerly

They say trouble and bad luck comes in threes. You enjoy one time in your life to the fullest while you are burdened by problems in another chapter of your existence.

This is true to some extent. There are times you find it hardly worth living. Everything goes wrong for you and you are afraid to pursue something new, thinking that too would blow up in your face. You are reminded about the facts of day and night and it even affects your daily lifestyle. You try to repress your thoughts but they seem to glare out of the book you are about to read or pounce at you from every corner you take. New issues are added to your plate and distress weighs you down. You take a superstitious route and blame it upon the fact that 'this is just not your time'.

Then the sun peeks out from the clouds. First one ray. Then another. More sunshine pours over the dark clouds, scattering them away.

Good times are back again. You can smell the roses. You face life with zest. This is the period that you want to hold onto time.

You hardly feel time ticking. You await the results of each gesture eagerly. You keep your fingers crossed but have a secret hunch that things will turn out for the best.

You give a whoop of joy when you receive the good news but cannot explain the gut feeling you had some time back.

But 'good times' are not here to stay. Every human being has his or her own share of problems. It is a part of living. It's a lesson we have to learn in this lifetime and make the best out of every situation. If you face a horrid experience, remember there are those who have suffered worse situations.

The fact that you survived it proves that you are strong. You did not run away from the problem. You did not take the easy way out.

Trouble teaches you to appreciate 'small blessings' and sheds light on a whole new perspective in life.
