Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles fromNew Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view thereef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I noticethat the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the oceanside is vibrant and colorful," a traveller observed. "Why is this?"
The guide gave an interesting answer: "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested bywind, waves, storms -- surges of power. It has to fight for survival everyday of its life. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. Itgrows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces." Then he added thistelling note: "That's the way it is with every living organism."
That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Likecoral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness andresiliency.
Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness.
So, you have problems -- no problem! Just tell yourself,"There I grow again!"
Again if you think that you don't have a major one at this moment, just try to cherish life as much as you can and sit back and relax for a while.
====================================================
What do you think?
I think when we have problems, try not to complain and explain, why?
As we complain too much it can't really help the situation; at the same time if we explain to other people, others might not able to see eye to eye as you see and think as you did.
Think what you can do at the point of that time but sometime you need to be patient, don't forget time might be your best friend when things are bad.
