Karma

We all go through tough times in our lives. Someone told me earlier today that when you are going through a difficult time in your life, alot of times you feel like things can't get worse and you don't know how you'll get through it. All of the sudden, six months has gone by and you've dealt with that issue and put it behind you. Life is not easy.

Who said life would be easy? Did you get a guarantee when you were born that life would be easy for you when you grew up? Did your parents sign a contract stating that you would have a free and easy life in adulthood? (Well, if they did you better watch out because no contract in America is safe with Obama at the helm.) No, there is no guarantee that life is going to be easy.

We all have to face certain challenges in our lives. Sometimes, a decision is easy and sometimes it takes all you have to make yourself make the right choice. Someone who is very dear to me is going through a situation like this right now. In her mind, she knows what decision she needs to make and that it's the right choice. In her heart, she is challenged. This is my observation of course, and even though she feels like she has already made her choice, and that it was the right choice.....I don't think that her issue is that cut and dry.

So, the whole point of my story tonight is to remind all of my friends of how strong you are. You are beautiful and you are strong and you can get through anything. You can get through troubles in your relationships, troubles with your kids, and trouble with your finances. I'm not saying it'll be easy. Rely on your friends. Call and let them know how you're feeling instead of letting a weak moment take you in the wrong direction.

You can find amazing strength in a phone call to a friend who cares about you and worries about you. I know that sometimes when I'm feeling down, I just want to crawl under a rock and not deal with anyone. Not good! Don't do it! Don't wait for one of your friends to call you. Make the call and you'll feel so much better because you'll be reminded that you are making the right decision and that you are strong!

You can be strong and still feel sad. When relationships end, it can be heartbreaking. You are strong and you will get through it. When your financial situation changes, it can be a huge stress factor in a marriage. Remember, you are on the same side! You need each other to lean on, so don't turn on each other like a pack of wolves. And when your husband is a jerk, call your friend and she'll agree with you and you'll both laugh and you'll start to feel better.

We've all heard the old saying that there are only two guarantee's in life, death and taxes. I'm trying to remind myself, and it's not easy, that each day is a gift and I don't want to waste my time worrying about something I have very little control over.

You can't control how someone else feels about you. (This is a big problem for me, and I'm working on it.) It's so important that I'll say it again because it applies to everything. You can't control how someone else feels about you. This should be applied to someone you love, who isn't holding up his end of the bargain. It should also be applied to your in-laws, lol. It can be applied to people you work with....anyone.

You are important enough to me that I worry about your problems too. But, YOU ARE STRONG! You are strong and you will make it through whatever life has in store. And remember, Karma will teach people (and by people, I mean "men") a lesson. If you ever wonder if Karma is real, tempt it. Eventually, all things catch up with people who mess with Karma. So, you've got that going for you too.
