There is good, beauty, and hope in everything around. You have to look to find it.
Sometimes you have to look deep within yourself.
There is a lesson in everything that happens. You have to pay attention and listen to what is being taught.
Sometimes you have to look back long enough to understand.
There is happiness and love to embrace and discover. You have to open your heart, mind, body and soul to take it all in and give it all back.
Sometimes it takes losing to win

Through it all
Andrae Crouch and the Disciples
I've had many tears and sorrows,
I've had questions for tomorrow,
there's been times I didn't know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consulation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.
Chorus:
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
Verse 2:
I've been to lots of places,
I've seen a lot of faces,
there's been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own
Chorus
Verse 3:
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do.
"Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs."
Sorry, did I digress? It was really the last line that fit.
BuffyW.-Yes we need to live and learn. Because if we don't we just seem to keep doing the same things over and over. Thank you
Onecorgilover- You are so right with what you said. I love and know the song, reading it brought me to tears. Thank you
Goshdarnit-I do hope that headache of yours goes away, if not after two days maybe you need to see a doctor. I am glad you like the post. Thank you for coming by.
Capn'-No you didn't digress it. I remember that saying from that movie. It is a great saying to remember and keep in the back of your mind. Thank you

"Sometimes it takes losing to win." I have found that true over and over. My problem is that I sulk a while after losing, and that wastes valuable time that could have been spent taking what I learned from the losing and turning it into the next opportunity.
I would love to have back all the days I spent pouting.

I love the poem and the picture.

Monte-That is so true. I think we all would love to have back all the days and moments we have spent pouting. I always keep in my that a minute spent unhappy is sixty seconds of happiness you will never get back. Thank you
Cartouche-Yes sometimes what we think should happen isn't what should actually happen at all. Best sometimes to let the universe do the driving for you. It all comes down to the lessons that we have learned from the things that do happen. Thank you very much.
1IM-Thank you very much-glad you liked it.
zuma-sometimes it is best to be content with what we have and not worry so much about what we don't have. Treasure the things in life that we do have, like life itself. I find it less disappointing that way. Thank you
Thank you very much.
