What is life without a little hardship

The topic says it all. What will be the meaning of life without a little bit of hardship.

We have all had our share of hardships. Some may be more dramatic than others and some may be more fatal than others. Whatever it is/was , we all should be grateful that we have survived and managed to live yet another day.

Yeah am sounding quite heavy , sorry folks. There are times when I see a half empty glass but there are also times when I see a half full glass. Tonight it is the latter.

Having, looking, saving and getting more money is on every ones' agenda since it was invented. It never seems to be enough. My friends and I, used to wonder why have we not been born with a golden spoon in our mouths - why do we have to work so hard to make ends meet? While some just can do f*ck all and still be able to live lavishly. But on the flip side, I'm glad that money has not completely control my life. Sure it is great to have more money but I think I am content the way things are.

I have had my share of wealth when I was younger and I have seen how that have changed the one closest family member to me. How he changed when he had too much money and abandoned his own family for another. Too much money will make a person go power crazy and will think that they are above the law. Too much money will make a person go obnoxious and arrogant. Too much money will make a person forget their spiritual responsibilities. Too much money will make a person forget where they've come from. Too much money will make a person whinge when they can't have trivial things like a brand new sports car when other people in the world are dying of thirst.

I do wonder though sometimes,if things were different, whether I would be a different person. I wonder though would I be a rich brat. I am glad and thankful that I have had my fair share of hardship.

Truth to be told, I learned the real value of money much later in my life and for that I know that I have been truly blessed. I have learned to appreciate it more and not live life too fast. I have learned to appreciate people more and be more understanding. I have learned to not only look at face value and that everyone has their good points.

I have learned that no matter what happens, my family will always be there for me. I have learned that when I was in my lowest moments, my true friends appear. I have learned that during a miserable stage of life, faith brought me to meeting my husband. I have learned that whatever happens in life , it always happen for a reason no matter how bad it is. I have also learned that money isn't everything and what makes me happy most is to be with people that I love. I have to keep reminding myself that whatever amount of money I make it may make my life MORE comfortable but it won't make my burial space any bigger.

Feel blessed that wealth has come to your life and be mindful that nothing last forever.
