LIFE


If one does not enjoy the world that they live in, it is a sinful waste of a life.


When we talk life, we tend to talk about accomplishments, relationships, and material wealth. If there is a scale to weigh one's life, one would hope the positives outweigh the negatives.

Life can be viewed as a series of obstacles or opportunities, depending on one's frame of mind.

Life can also be viewed as a series of trials and failures, and the resiliency after a set back or defeat.

Life could be a hard jungle to navigate, depending on how adaptive a person can be to adversity and change.

Life can be an adventure or a prison, depending on one embraces things outside one's comfort zone.

Life can be both good and bad, at the same time.

Life can be both rewarding and frustrating, at the same time.

One of the earliest childhood cartoons were those Charlie Brown specials. Charlie Brown was a typical kid who seemingly did not catch a lot of breaks. He was a klutz, not a good athlete, and his follies were humorous to his friends. But he kept going forward despite his set backs.

It takes time for children to grow into adults, and to integrate their childhood experiences and life lessons into a lesson plan to orchestrate their lives.

And it takes a long time for a person to realize that in this world, we are all Charlie Brown.
