“I wish you enough sun to keep your
attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun
more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your
spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest
joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your
wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that
you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through
the final good-bye." -Author

I
read this beautiful poem on Facebook, and was truly touched. These words got me thinking about how we wish
the best for people around us all the time.
What is “The Best?” What if our
definition of “The Best” was simply shaped by our lives, good and bad.
If
you never experience bad times or negative emotions how can you expect to TRULY
APPRECIATE the good things in life. Life
is contrast. You can’t have a beautiful
sunny day without the chilly darkened night.
It
is the things that we have overcome that make Success So SWEET!!! If we were given everything on a silver
platter, what kind of value would we give it?
I am pretty sure the value would be relatively low.
I
am not saying that I hope anyone has to experience Lack, Loss, Pain, or
Sadness. What I am saying is that it is
helpful to remember that it is the “Not So Good Stuff” which makes us truly
appreciate and value our lives.
I
try, and sometimes fail, to remember the blessings in my life when I am faced
with the “Not So Good Stuff” or the downright “Really BAD Things.” The one thing I know is that life never stays
the same, we are always changing, and the Sun rises every morning to banish the
darkness. There is comfort in that
certainty.
I
am a happy person today. In the past I
have been a miserable, selfish, and desperate person but I am truly blessed
because I am still here. Everyday isn’t
perfect but every day “Is Enough.”
