Meditations on Misfortune

By

[CoffeeBean]

When misfortune weighs upon your soul, defy it.
When it makes the prospect of moving forward seem impossible, take a step.
The meek decry misfortune, blame their failing life upon it.
The strong bear it upon themselves- striving forward without pause.
Do not shun misfortune. Instead, welcome it with open arms.

It is opportunity

[CoffeeBean]

First Lesson: Acceptance

When misfortune strikes- stealing away that which you treasure or that you have toiled long for, do not curse the heavens. Do not cling to the memory of what has been lost nor lament the things you did not yet do. Instead, accept that it is gone and move forward. Learn from that loss and improve yourself with it.

Misfortune teaches us that there is nothing that will last forever. There is nothing that cannot be suddenly stolen away-- So treasure each moment, spend each dinar; Live while you can.
