We have to accept life as it comes. Like the seasons, it can be rainy at times, while other days are cold or scorching hot. Some struggle to accept this reality, falling into madness or depression. In short, life is no utopia. Instead of crying over not having oranges, we must learn to make lemonade with the lemons we get.
Life feels like a tradeoff. If you want one thing, you must be ready to compromise on another. I’m turning 40 in a few months, and while some people ask about my marriage plans, they also reminisce about my independence. Some days, I long for a family; other days, I find joy in the freedom of traveling from city to city, selling products and living out of a suitcase.
I could take a strong stance, claiming my choices have either been wonderful or terrible. But the truth is, I was so immersed in living my life that I never had time to analyze it all. What I do know is that life will always bring its fair share of ups and downs, challenges, and happiness.
