Life is like walking into a hotel late in the night to find no food left but only a menu with variety of meals and drinks. So you go to sleep hungry and hope to enjoy the breakfast.
Before you even choose the kind of breakfast you would like to have, you wake up in the morning to find it has already been served on your table.
The meal may not be anything close to what you’d have desired to have. In some cases, it may not be anything you may have ever wished to taste but there you are!
The only option you have left with you is to choose whether to eat it or not, and of course the consequences of eating or not eating it at all. Such is what real life is all about. It throws at us different circumstances and issues some of which are easy to handle while others are pretty difficult and unexpected!
That, however, does not mean that we face it with anxiety. In fact, all we need is to embrace happiness as it is the medicine that cures any kind of situation.
