When times are hard, some people complain. And as they complain about the hard times, they shut themselves off from the opportunities that lie within their troubles.
Other people have learned to be patient. They look for the lessons within their hardships or troubles.
Beautiful reminders, Darius! A lot makes sense, and the one on marriage and relationships gives me much hope! I’ve never found the one to marry, nor have I wanted to, and seeing the media flooded with marriages and related things often makes me wonder and doubt myself, thinking "why not me?" Yeah, maybe all in its divine time!
