You can't have everything in life

Published:Nov 23, 2018

Everyone in life wants to have persons, things, and experiences that they like and also want all the good experiences that life has to offer. But the truth about life is that you cannot have all the experiences that you would like to have in your life. Only very few people get to fulfil all their desires here on earth but that’s also at the cost of many trade offs. And for the few exceptional ones who seem to get and enjoy all the good things of life we have to remember that exceptions are not the ideals. So if life has to offer hundred good things, then we may be able to experience fifty or sixty of it or something more or less, but not all of it. So we have to accept this fact of life and carry on with life without holding back ourselves with the thoughts of the things that we didn’t get to have in life. You need to find out what things in life you cant have due to the conditions and situations you are in life and once having identified them just stop worrying about those things and shift your focus to the things you can have and go on to live your life cheerfully. Remember that the Lord has said Life is more valuable than things and member that the experience of life is more valuable than the experiences in life itself. So don’t mourn for the things and experiences you didn’t have, instead do the most of the opportunities and things you have for the Lord may have a plan for you that is different from yours and it is His plan that succeeds not your’s. For life itself is His gift, not yours; and you are not to spoil the life He has given you in worrying away for things that He didn’t provide for His purpose in accordance to the plan He has for your life.
