Have you ever really thought about the fact that most things that taste good are bad for you... and most things that taste bad are good for you?
Tastes great but is bad for you:
- Candy
- Chocolate (anything sugar)
- Things and Stuff (materialism)
- TV
- Gossiping
- Bigger and More of everything (houses, cars, entertainment systems)
- Self interests
Tastes bad but is good for you:
- Medicine
- Less of everything
- Spinach
- Giving (but once you do there is not a better feeling in the world...but the key is to let go...don't white knuckle hold on...give everything away (time, money, stuff)
- Carrot juice
I think this same principle is true for so many experiences in our life. We simply get better and improve in our life when times don't taste all that good. Look back into your past and every time you grow and improve is when you went through some adversity. That's just the irony of life. Also look back in your past and in your good times, you just didn't grow that much. We simply learn more and grow more in tough times rather than good times.
Today, with all the marketplace chaos and uncertainty, there are many people going through tough times. I know it doesn't feel good. But really, we are all getting better. We are growing and improving. It just doesn't taste good now is all. That's OK. We all will get better through this adversity and years from now, we can look back with gratitude that we went through these tough times.
Better days are ahead for all of us!
But take your medicine today with a positive attitude and get better from it.
