It's Better To Have A Friend :)

You are better off having a friend than be all alone because then you will get more enjoyment out of what you earn. If you fall, a friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are in trouble. If you sleep alone, you won't have anyone to keep you warm at night. Someone may beat one of you up, but can't do both.

As the saying goes: "A rope made from three strands of cords is harder to break than a single stranded rope."

It's always good to have a friend!

LIFE

Life is very challenging at times, if not most of the time. Life can also come in many forms and fashions, and the times we're not ready for whatever it throws at us can be very hard to understand or even comprehend. Life has thrown many fastballs and I've caught them all. Some have hurt bad, some have had little, but life is an experience and with each experience something can be learned.

They say very often the first thirty years of life are the hardest and most challenging. After that you start to bloom into a new self-conflicted way. It's as though you've had to come to terms with yourself as to who you are and what you want to be. You finally release all the dead wood and move on with greater confidence and awareness too.

I feel like life is like a stage. We are the directors and must take life as it comes, but also make the best of everyday life has to offer. The future depends on what we do in the present. And just as Hercule Poirot said, "With method and logic, one can accomplish anything." So our future depends on choices we can make now. We can absolve today's difficulties to strengthen us for tomorrow.

Most of my life I have ended up with rough, hard, difficult and most challenging situations in life, and times I think I wish life would just cut me some slack. But I knew life itself is a challenge, and I'm always up for a challenge.
