FORTUNES IN MY MISFORTUNES

UNEDITED SAMPLE LITERARY ARTICLE

People are such whiners when it comes to their unluckiness.

People always have their long list of things to blame. Sometimes we go beyond the limit and blame God. We are never satisfied of what they have. We always see our defectiveness. We never seem to get that imperfections are our ladder to reach a new and wider horizon of life. We are always ready to pounce on anything keeps us from crossing roads with good fortune. We never value the not-so-good things that happen to us.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “If God hands you lemons, learn to make lemonade”? It may look and sound simple but if you’ll reach out for its true meaning you will understand how true and important this saying is. This enlightens us about appreciating everything that comes our way, whether it will be good or bad, all we have to do is be thankful to what God is giving us. This really fits the happenings in our world because, as we all know, nobody in this world has a perfect life so no matter what one person does he will surely relate to this. This tells us about making good things out of bad things. This is the part where you will be able to achieve fortunes out your very own misfortunes. Because I really believe that the more struggle a person go through, the more he gets tougher and stronger.

Everything has a purpose. Even the bad things, they too have their story to share in our big and crazy world. That is why I have come to this thinking that no one should feel bad about his life being so unfortunate or being so boring. I believe that no one has the right against the will of God because if you are so unlucky today, no one can really tell that you might the next luckiest person alive. I am not saying to put everything in the hands of God or to wait for luck to knock on your doorstep, of course, one should also make his own efforts because God can only help you if you, too, are helping yourself.

One should never sit around while the whole world is running after every opportunity that passes them. One should not also put too much of their attention towards their misfortunes, instead, they should focus more on the reason why those kind of things are happening to them.

I suppose it is never that hard to cope up with the complexities of life, you just have to learn the key of positive thinking.
