Lessons from" The Road Less Travelled" (life's lessons)

I need a little 'food for the soul". So Kit told me to re-read "The Road Less Travelled" by M. Scott Peck.
It's a classic...with a good dose of common sense and deep reflections.
Maybe this is the emotional and mental sustenance I need right now.

The first chapter starts like this:
"Life is difficult"
Often we moan and groan about this. We whine, we grumble...and make ourselves the victim of everything else except for our own selves.

I guess it would be so much easier to accept that it may be a fact that life is difficult.
There are no free passes
Nothing comes easy; nothing is for free.
Challenges and obstacles will stand in my way, at some point or another.

So here is the challenge.
Do I continue to adopt a victim, self-pitying mentality?
Or do I grit my teeth, and tell myself...
"Face it...Only I can help myself"...

ah....there are days...and there are days...
Right now...it's getting myself to believe...in myself again.
When life gives you lemons...
Learn to enjoy the tang!


Dear God
Give me strength.
Amin.
