Guaranteed Unfairness (How to handle the Tough Times in Life)

In today's Vlog which some may find to be somewhat 'controversial' (but hopefully inoffensive), I've attempted to share a series of stories and illustrations about the 'fast ball's' that life throws that often seem highly unfair.

What we think about the things that happen to us live will determine how we feel, and how we feel will determine how we act and respond, then how we act and respond to the things that happen to us in life will determine the outcomes in our lives; good or bad!

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity that we WILL experience in life, such as:

there's a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build back up again,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

I'm sure that all of us have experienced many of these seasons already - if not ALL of them throughout the course of our lives.

We cause our pain with our thoughts as whatever we focus on we will feel.  Everything that happens to us is neither good or bad, it just is. Whatever we choose to think about a situation is what ends up making the situation good or bad.

Learning to step back and accept what is happening in our lives is what some people may call faith, but what others may call living life to its fullest.

If we can learn that when we're sad and grieving, it's OK to be sad. Feel it, and move on. This doesn't mean wallow in sadness and use it as an excuse not to do anything, it means feel it when it's there, accept it and move on.

There is nothing new under the sun and anything you find difficulty with in life, someone else has already overcome.
