Life has two sides; there’s a wrong side and a right side and a sad side and a happy side. There’s a good side and a bad side; a black side and a bright side. So when things seem dark to us, let us just change our thoughts on the subject. Life will look quite different if we turn its best side out.

There’s always a little truth behind every “just kidding”, a little knowledge behind every “I don’t know”, a little emotion behind every “I don’t care”, and... a  little  pain behind  every “it’s ok.”

There is the other side. The more difficulties we have to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration our lives will be. There is always another day where life gives us another opportunity to make things better. There is always the other side for every pain, every  failure, every success…. under the sun.
 
There was a story of a father who tried to avoid distraction from his little daughter while he was reading, so he tried to keep her busy. He tore out one page of the magazine he was reading on which was printed the map of the world. He then tore the page into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.

He was certain she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with the perfect map…

Life is an echo. What we send out, we get back. What we give, we receive.  When we bring out the best in others, we bring out the best in ourselves..

When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh… Dad, there is a man’s face on the other side of the paper… I made the face perfect to get the map right.”  She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.

There is always the other side to whatever we experience in this world. This story indirectly teaches a lesson that whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, we should look at the other side… we will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.

There is always a reason for everything that happens; that each life experience makes us stronger, more knowledgeable and more prepared for what lies ahead. Though it may not seem like it at the time, the setbacks and hardships we face actually help us march forward. We should not isolate ourselves from life experiences because they teach us and guide us into our future. They are the best teacher anyone could ask for.

When life pushes you down, push back! Don’t let anything stop you. The struggles you face are just what you need to fulfill your potential for greatness. A year from now, when you look back at today, you’ll see that the problem you’re so concerned with right now, was another valuable lesson waiting to be learned. ~Pravs World
